Daily Reminders  Please check your child's agenda daily. Conduct marks require a parent's initials.
Students need to complete reading logs daily. Reading every night is part of their homework. Parents, please make sure that your students are reading every day, and please sign the reading log at the end of each week.
TAKS Texas’ Student Success Initiative (SSI) The Student Success Initiative was created by the Texas Legislature to ensure that all students receive the instruction and support they need to be academically successful in reading and mathematics. Under this initiative, students are required to pass the Grade 3 Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) reading test to be promoted to fourth grade and to pass the Grade 5 TAKS reading and mathematics tests to be promoted to the sixth grade. The students in grade 3 and 5 have three opportunities to pass these tests. If a student does not pass the required tests, s/he will be given additional instructional support after each testing opportunity. As specified by the SSI requirements, a student may advance to the next grade level only by passing these tests or by the unanimous decision of his or her grade placement committee (GPC) made up of the student’s principal, teacher, and parent. The GPC must unanimously agree that the student is likely to successfully perform at the next grade level. (This message was taken from the NEISD web site.)
