Week of May 6th-10th

Hello 4th Grade Town Center Families! This coming week will be the STAAR Test. Please read the reminders below for these assessments. 

Library Books
All library books were due back to the library on Friday, May 10th. Please ensure your child has turned in all of their books. Any books that are lost or damaged need to be paid for. 

STAAR Math and Reading Assessments
The STAAR Math Assessment will be on Monday, May 13th and our STAAR Reading Assessment will be Tuesday, May 14th. Please ensure that your learner gets a good night's sleep, has a healthy breakfast, and arrives at school on time. There will be no visitors this week due to testing. Please call the office if you need anything.
Your learner can practice some reading vocabulary terms here and also practice strategies for the test here.  

End of the Year Conferences
It is hard to believe that we are already in our last nine weeks of the school year. Time has flown by so quickly with these amazing learners!

The district is unable to set aside a day for spring parent/teacher conferences, but we are happy to make time to answer any questions or concerns you may have. You recently received your learner's third nine weeks report card, which provided you with an update on how your learner is doing in class. We will also be sending home your learner's end of year assessment summary sheet, along with a summer packet of resources and ways to support your learner over the break. The assessment summary sheet will show you their current levels in both Language Arts and Math, as well as the benchmark. This will show you your student's growth and progress throughout the school year! 

If you would like to discuss any questions or concerns regarding your learner and would like a conference (via email, phone or face-to-face) please email your child's homeroom teacher. What a JOY it has been to have these learners this year! *We are unable to discuss 5th grade class placements for next school year. Please keep questions related to your learner's academic and emotional growth from the 2018-2019 school year.*
