WEEKEND NEWS

Important Information   

•   LANGUAGE ISAT testing on Wednesday, April 17^th from 10:30-12:00.  Your child should share an ISAT letter with you.  Please sign and return the ISAT letter.  If your child returns the signed paper, his/her name will be put into a drawing for a prize.  This will happen for each ISAT test. For the testing, it is important that the students are here for the entire testing time.  They must complete the entire test or the test becomes invalid.  Please make sure your child has plenty of sleep and a big breakfast.  We will take a break during the test, and the students will be allowed to eat a snack that volunteer parents have provided.  

•  We had a great time on our field trip to Texas Roadhouse.  I have attached a free kids meal from the restaurant.  If you go to the restaurant to eat, make sure you tell them “Thank You!” from Ellis. 

•  BEACH PARTY BOOK SWAP!!  Thursday, April 19th from 6 - 7 p.m.  Wear your favorite beach apparel.  No swimming suits, please.  Treats will be provided.  Parents will receive handouts on how to enhance academic achievement.  Have your child bring to school gently used books and receive a ticket to swap for a different book at the beach party.
