Last Week of March Updates and STAAR Preparation
Dear Hornet Parents,
As we enter the last week of March, we want to thank you for your continued partnership and support. Your involvement through monitoring grades, encouraging attendance, and reinforcing expectations at home plays a powerful role in your child’s success, and we truly appreciate all that you do.
As we approach the upcoming STAAR testing season, this is a critical time for students to remain focused and engaged in their learning. Over the next several weeks, students will be reviewing key concepts, strengthening skills, and preparing for these important assessments. Your support at home is essential in helping students feel confident and ready.
You can support your child by ensuring they attend school daily, arrive on time, complete assignments, and take time to read and review material at home. Encouraging a positive mindset and reinforcing the importance of doing their best will help students approach testing with confidence.
Preparing for STAAR Success
• Ensure your child gets a good night’s sleep each evening
• Encourage daily attendance and punctuality
• Provide a quiet space for homework and reading
• Encourage your child to read at least 15 to 20 minutes each day
• Talk with your child about their learning and celebrate their progress
As we move through this final stretch before testing, our goal is to support every student in reaching their full potential. With strong teamwork between school and home, we can help our Hornets feel prepared and successful. Thank you again for your continued support and partnership. We look forward to finishing the semester strong together.
