Our 3rd graders are spreading positivity and confidence as we get ready for STAAR! 💫

Students took time to write encouraging notes for their peers who will be testing tomorrow—reminding them to stay calm, do their best, and believe in themselves. 💛

They also participated in a fun activity called “Shoot for the Stars,” where they wrote down test-taking strategies and personal words of encouragement to keep themselves focused and confident.

We are so proud of the way our students are lifting each other up and preparing for success. You’ve got this! 🌟

📚 STAAR Reading is Tomorrow!

We are excited for our 3rd–6th grade students as they take the STAAR Reading test tomorrow! Families, please help set them up for success by ensuring they:
✨ Get a good night’s sleep
🍳 Eat a healthy breakfast
⏰ Arrive to school on time

To maintain a secure and supportive testing environment, our building will be closed to all visitors tomorrow. Please note that we will not be able to accept deliveries for students in grades 3–6, as we are unable to notify classrooms during testing.

We know our students are going to do their very best and shine as they showcase all the amazing learning they’ve accomplished this year. We’re so proud of them—let’s cheer them on! 💫

Our 1st graders in Mrs. Dodson’s class were busy combining creativity and curiosity during independent writing time! ✏️🎶

Students explored fine arts by watching live performances from AISD high school bands and capturing their observations in writing. From the sounds of the instruments to the energy of the performers, our young writers turned what they saw and heard into thoughtful, detailed reflections.

Experiences like these not only strengthen writing skills but also inspire a love for the arts at an early age. We love seeing our students make real-world connections in such meaningful ways! 💙🎺📖
