STAAR Reminders
- Wednesday, May 1st all 3rd-5th grade students will take the Math STAAR.
Tips for STAAR Success
- Get a Good Night's Sleep: Get plenty of rest the night before the test. A well-rested mind is better equipped to handle challenges and retain information.
- Eat a Nutritious Breakfast: A healthy breakfast can provide the sustained energy needed for optimal performance.
- Stay Hydrated: Drinking water throughout the day helps us to stay alert.
- Healthy Snacks: Snacks and water will be provided, but if your child prefers to bring snacks from home, choose options that are easy to eat and won't leave residue.
- Stay Positive: Keep a positive attitude towards the test. Our students have prepared well and are ready to do their best.

Attendance Matters
Bertram's ADA for this past week was 92.66%.
ADA stands for Average Daily Attendance and is defined as the total days of student attendance divided by the total days of instruction. "98 IS Great!", so 98% is our goal! We recognize that illnesses and events take place that necesitate absences, however, we do encourage every student to be in school every day he/she is able. Let's work toward 98%!
