It is imperative that every invited scholar attends tutorials on the outline days so that their score can increase from the previous year. The State of Texas requires ALL 4th & 5th grade scholars to make more growth than they did on the 2025 STAAR Assessment in Reading & Math.

• Tuesday & Wednesday Tutorials are for those scholars who are at Approaches(close to grade level) based on academic data from The Texas Education Agency. AFTER SPRING BREAK, ALL 3RD-5TH GRADE SCHOLARS ARE WELCOMED!

• Saturday Tutorials are open for all scholars in 3rd-5th grade in preparation for STAAR Assessments.

******************************************************************************************************

Es fundamental que todos los estudiantes invitados asistan a las tutorías durante los días de preparación para que su puntaje mejore con respecto al año anterior. El Estado de Texas exige que TODOS los estudiantes de 4.º y 5.º grado progresen más que en la evaluación STAAR de 2025 en Lectura y Matemáticas.

• Las tutorías de los martes y miércoles están dirigidas a aquellos estudiantes que se encuentran en el nivel "Aproximado" (cerca del nivel de grado), según los datos académicos de la Agencia de Educación de Texas. DESPUÉS DE LAS VACACIONES DE PRIMAVERA, ¡TODOS LOS ESTUDIANTES DE 3.º A 5.º GRADO SON BIENVENIDOS!

Welcome Wednesday & Fri-Yay Friday Lunch RSVP

Greetings,

Lunch visits are back! 🙂 Please remember to RSVP for:

• Welcome Wednesday Lunches (Kinder, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th)
• Fri-Yay Friday Lunch (PK ONLY).

Be sure that you double check with the front office for your scholar's scheduled lunch time.

Here are a few reminders:

1. Visitors must have a valid ID in order to have lunch with your scholar.

2. Parents/Guardians will only be allowed to eat with their child. Unfortunately, friends are not welcome to eat with you.

3. At the conclusion of lunch, parents/guardians will be dismissed out of the cafeteria to exit the building. Parents are not permitted to follow their child to the classroom or anywhere else in the building. Failure to follow this protocol will result in termination of your lunch visits.

4. Lunch may be purchased from the cafeteria for any adult desiring to eat from the lunch line.

5. Only sign up for slots for your scholar's grade level. If you sign up for another grade level, you will be unable to attend the lunch.

Again, we appreciate you adhering to these safety precautions.
