STAAR Testing
Sky Ranch Updates
- We have finished with our first round of STAAR testing. The 5th graders will take the Science STAAR test on Wednesday, May 10th.
Sky Ranch Updates
- If your son/daughter has any dietary restrictions (vegetarian, gluten free, etc.), please email your son/daughter's teacher A.S.A.P. We will be turning in a final list of dietary restrictions to Sky Ranch this Friday, April 21st.
- We sent permission slips for the zip line home a few weeks ago. These are due back on Friday, April 21st.
- If your son/daughter is unable to swim, please let his/her teacher know. Learners will have the chance to swim during free time, and there will be life guards on duty. However, it is helpful for us to know if they are unable to swim.
- As a reminder, medications will be administered only to students whose parents send medication with appropriate dosage and frequency information. If you have not yet turned in a medication request form to Nurse Kane please do so A.S.A.P. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. The blurb below was sent home to parents earlier this month:
- All over-the-counter medications must be in the original bottle and have specific directions as to dosage and frequency written by the parent. Each medication must have a Medication Request Form. Prescription medications must be in the original bottle with dosage and frequency listed on the label. Each medication should be separately bagged in a zip-lock bag with a completed medication form enclosed.
- Our new Sky Ranch t-shirts have arrived, and we will be sending those home this week.
- As the trip gets closer, and you begin to help your son/daughter prepare, this packing list may come in handy. Please note that we will be asking learners to wear their new Sky Ranch t-shirt on Wednesday, the first day of the trip. We will ask them to wear their blue grade level t-shirt on Friday, the last day of the trip.
Coppell Middle School North Registration
- As you know, registration forms were due last Wednesday, April 12th. Please return your son/daughter's form A.S.A.P. if you have not already done so.
