Spring Break is Almost Here!!!!

Reminders/Upcoming Events:

• I will be sending home STAAR Ready results this week. Please be sure to look over it with your child. Please be aware that there were 9 questions on the test that we have not covered (they appear in our next math unit). The test was very difficult, but my goal is to prepare your children to do ANYTHING! If you have any questions/concerns, please contact me. I assure you that I am doing everything I can to make sure your child is prepared for the upcoming STAAR test...and LIFE! We will continue to work hard over the next two months to be sure we are prepared!
• Wednesday is an Early Release at 12:45.
• Wednesday is Responsibility Recess for students who have no missing work. If students have missing work, they will be given this time to complete the work. All assignments MUST be turned in by Friday!!!
• Ms. Leining will be out on Tuesday and Thursday for a teacher's conference. If you need something immediately, please let Mrs. Drain know.
• This is the time of year when Round Rock ISD asks all parents and students to fill out a Climate Survey. Please take a moment to fill this out. I will be taking all of your children to the computer lab to fill theirs out before the deadline. I appreciate your participation. Use the links to complete the survey: English or Spanish
• This is the time of year we ask for donations for Spring Festival. We are in need of donations for both our 4th grade auction basket and the 4th grade booth: baking/cooking items & colored hair spray (I posted pictures at the bottom of the blog for ideas.)
• Have a wonderful Spring Break!!!!
