Dear parents,
The first state assessment of this school year is the Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System (TELPAS). All the students in Kinder through 5th grade and in the Bilingual program participate in this assessment. Their proficiency assessment in speaking, listening, reading and writing English comprises the test. Students score as either Beginning, Intermediate, Advanced or Advance High. We have used the SeeSaw app and the Summit K-12 programs during the school year to prepare the students. The goal is to demonstrate a year’s growth in English Language Acquisition and eventual exit (reclassification) from the Bilingual program.
The other assessment is the State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness (STAAR). This assessment is for 3rd through 5th grade students. All students in these grade levels will be administered a combination of Reading, Math, and Science and Writing tests. The first administration of these tests will be in early April. Help your child by sending them to school every day and allowing them to participate in tutorial programs and Super Saturdays. As always, thank you for your continued support!
Reminder of No Early Release 30 minutes before the end of the day. Birthday cupcakes and juices only the last day of the month. However, we do announce birthday names daily.
Sincerely,
Rosalba Martinez
Principal
