STAAR Reading Test on Tuesday
Students will take a 4 hour reading test on Tuesday. As we will start at 8:00 a.m., students need to on time or early to school on Tuesday. Please send them having eaten a good breakfast or early enough to eat breakfast in the cafe before 7:40 a.m. Students can bring a snack to eat during the test, but it should be a quiet snack (no crispy or crunchy snacks or wrappers). All students are prepared to Rock the Staar!
Fifth Grade Camp
We have an amazing opportunity to attend HISD sponsored camps: Camp Olympia and Camp Forest Glen. They are awesome! At each camp, students will engage in interactive learning opportunities in nature. The academic focus is on science and social studies, however students will also gain skills in independence and will forge new friendships. Here are the websites to find more information about the activities available:
Olympia and Forest Glen. Both camps are staffed with excellent HISD teachers. Roberts teachers will also be attending (Ms. McClintock to Forest Glen and Ms. Berens and Mrs. Audi to Olympia). I would be happy to answer any questions about camp. You can also ask Joyce Ballard, our Assistant Principal and field trip coordinator.
