Friday, April 9th

We had another great week in 5th Grade! Thanks for stopping by to read our blog. 


STAAR Testing
May 11th, 12th, and 13th will be STAAR testing for FACE TO FACE learners. Virtual learners will have alternate assignments during these three days of testing. May 18th and 19th will be STAAR testing for VIRTUAL learners. Face to face learners will work on alternate assignments REMOTELY at home. May 20th will be STAAR testing for VIRTUAL learners, however FACE TO FACE learners will still come to school. If you have any questions about this, please ask your homeroom teacher.

CAMP TCE


Students will be invited on April 14th & 15th to participate in CAMP TCE, an at-school & virtual version of our annual camp experience. We'll include some of our most loved parts of camp: hands on science activities, team building games, camp games, and a 5th grade "campfire." We are excited to offer the kids a fun experience! 
**Virtual learners will need to pick up supplies for Camp TCE on either Monday, April 12th or Tuesday, April 13th. Virtual learners may also want to gather sticks, leaves, flowers, and other items in nature ahead of time.

A Note From Coach T
Starting next week, PE will be moving their zoom time to every Wednesday during your child’s regular specials time. All sections will be zooming together and this schedule will continue through the end of the year. 

End of the Year Conferences
Please reach out to your child's teachers if you would like an end of the year conference! We can schedule a phone or Zoom conference and discuss your child's academics and study habits, as well as anything else you would like to discuss.

Principal Blog
Our Principal, Ms. Martin, has a Principal blog. We recommend reading this blog each time it's emailed as it is full of important information. Please click below for the most recent blog entry.


FREE LUNCH
The Child Nutrition Department is happy to announce that free meals for all in-person elementary students and free bundle meals for virtual learners have been extended through the rest of the 2020-2021 school year.  Breakfast and lunch is FREE for ALL elementary students through the end of school when they pick up a meal in the cafeteria (for in-person learners) or via Wednesday Bundle Meals (virtual learners only).  We are still asking that virtual learners sign up for bundle meals via the Bundle Meal Signup Form to help give us an idea of how to plan.

Virtual Learning Reminders
If your son/daughter is a virtual student, we would love if you would help reinforce the idea that students need to submit an assignment for each course (Reading, Language & Literacy, Social Studies, Math, and Science) each day. We have had a lot of missing submissions lately. Sometimes this can cause students to get behind quickly as our curriculum builds throughout the week. If your son/daughter is having a hard time keeping up with the schedule of the day, please let us know. 



Our counselor, Ms. Matlock, has been teaching us about different perspectives. She taught our kids about empathy, as well.  


Thank you for taking the time for reading our blog. We truly appreciate our Town Center families! 

Fun With Shadows!
