The Booker Bulletin
May 4 - 8
Dear Booker Families, Staff, and Scholars,
First and foremost, I must stop to highlight our incredible teachers! Thank you for the unwavering dedication, passion, and excellence you bring to Booker every single day. Your commitment to building relationships, engaging scholars in meaningful learning, striving for success, and treating every child with kindness does not go unnoticed. Because of you, our students are growing academically, socially, and emotionally. You are the heart of our campus and the driving force behind our progress. I am deeply grateful for all that you do. Booker is better because of you.
We are in the FINAL stretch of the school year and we will finish strong! 🎉
Last week, our scholars showed perseverance, focus, and determination during STAAR Math. We are incredibly proud of their effort and the way they represented Booker with excellence. Now, we shift our focus to our End-of-Year (EOY) District Assessments, which begin this week.
📊 EOY Assessments This Week
Our scholars will participate in the following assessments:
- MAP Growth: K–5 Math and 3rd–5th Reading
- mCLASS: K–2 Reading
- Circle Assessment: PreK
- i-Ready & Amira Diagnostics: Selected grade levels
- Art & Music EOY Assessments
These assessments are critical. They measure student growth, determine readiness for the next grade level, and guide instructional planning, interventions, and enrichment for the upcoming school year.
⏰ Attendance & Tardies Matter Now More Than Ever
As we close out the year, every day and every minute counts.
- Ensure your child is present daily
- Arrive on time—instruction begins promptly at 8:05 AM
- Avoid early pickups unless absolutely necessary
Strong attendance ensures students have the best opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned. Let’s finish with the same commitment we showed during STAAR!
📌 Important Reminders
- We will be reviewing all affidavits and transfer student documentation to ensure alignment with district expectations. Families will be contacted if additional information is needed.
- Summer School Notifications will be sent home soon. The district has identified students who qualify.
- All PreK and Kindergarten ESL/Bilingual students qualify for summer school, so please be on the lookout for communication with details and next steps.
⭐ Booker Best = End-of-Year Success
As we prepare to celebrate the end of the year with graduations, classroom parties, and Field Day, we want all scholars to enjoy these special moments. These events are privileges, and we expect all students to demonstrate Booker Best Behavioral Expectations:
- Build positive relationships
- Engage in the learning
- Strive for success
- Treat others with kindness
Students who consistently demonstrate these core values will be able to fully participate in all end-of-year celebrations. However, any student who engages in bullying, fighting, or violations of the Student Code of Conduct may lose these privileges and will be subject to appropriate consequences. We appreciate your support in reinforcing these expectations at home so that every student can end the year on a positive and successful note.
💪 Finish Strong, Booker!
We are truly at the finish line, and this is where effort meets results. Our scholars have worked hard all year—now it’s time to show what they know across all grade levels.
Let’s continue to:
- Encourage confidence and a positive mindset
- Reinforce the importance of doing their best
- Celebrate growth and progress
Together, we are building a stronger future for our scholars. Booker is getting better, faster!
Striving for Excellence in Culture, Academics, and Results, Every Day!
With pride and appreciation,
Keisha Womack
Proud Principal
