We only have 1 week until our TCAP tests and are going to be focusing our time
reviewing and preparing for these important tests. Please encourage your child
to practice reading, math, science, and social studies at home on study
island, ixl, thinklink probes, and math magician.
Please remember to send in your TCAP snack item before Friday of this week. A
note has been sent home with each student requesting a snack or drink. Each
subject on TCAP is broken into two sections. Between the sections of the test,
students eat a snack and drink juice. Please be looking for this note this
week and send in the snack we have requested. As ALWAYS, we appreciate your
