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.

ALL videos are due on Flipgrid by Wednesday, May 19th. Each child may perform in one solo act OR one group act OR one of each. Each act can be no longer than 2 minutes and must be suitable for all audiences. You can access the Flipgrid by clicking here.

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.
Spinal Screening
Parents of face-to-face females, please be on the lookout for the attachment from your homeroom teacher over spinal screening that will take place on Friday, April 30th! Please have your child wear a sports bra or tank top underneath her clothes on this day. Contact Nurse Crenshaw if you have any additional questions.

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).

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 relationships and friendships. We focused on unhealthy and healthy friendship qualities and belonging to a positive peer group.
