Writing STAAR ... check!

Riding along on the glass bottom boat!


Dear Parents,

Wow!  What a week!  I am so proud of the diligent working I witnessed on Tuesday for the STAAR writing test.  Of course I have no idea how they did, but if their hard work is any indication, they ACED it!!  All STAAR scores will be available in June.

Earth Day
In honor of Earth Day, fourth grade will walk together as a group to CCE on the morning of April 22nd.  If you would like to join us, we will all meet at 7:10 at the corner of Bramblecrest and Chestnut Ridge (the intersections closest to the Park and Ember Glen).  Feel free to come along and walk with us! Siblings, parents, and neighbors are welcome!

Enrollment Form
Please return your child’s enrollment form (printed on purple paper)  if you haven’t already done so. I need to account for all of the forms before I return them to the office.

Bob Bullock Museum Field Trip
Our last field trip will be to the Bob Bullock Museum on May 1st.  Please let me know if you would like to chaperone. Please note that all chaperones must purchase an entrance ticket and a ticket to see the movie Shipwrecked at 10:30 (in the Texas Spirit Theater).  You can purchase tickets here.  I am hoping to get at least 5 chaperones.  Thank you in advance.
