Sam Houston STEM Academy Christmas Program Details 🎄❤️

Good morning! Due to testing on campus this week, there will NOT be Robotics or Honor Choir Practice after school. If your child needs to go home on an alternate route from their regular afternoon transportation, please call the office before 2:30 p.m. If the transportation change is not made to the office, your student will be sent home their usual way.

Testing Mode on ✅ This week we will have Common Assessments and Benchmark testing for all grade levels, K-5. We know that testing can be stressful for students, and though it doesn’t tell us all the wonderful things your child can do, these assessments help us to guide our instruction and ensure student success & mastery. As a team, we can work together to limit distractions and provide the best testing environment possible. • Make sure your student gets plenty of rest • Eat breakfast • Be a HERO- H.ere E.veryday R.eady O.n time • No visitors or guests on campus • No lunch deliveries or lunch guests • No early checkouts • Encourage your student to show what they know, take their time, and do their best! This is just a way to help them grow! It’s a GREAT week to be a Maverick! ❤️🤘🏽 - Mrs. Livingston #GAMEtime #GrowAndMasterExpectations
