State Testing
3rd and 4th Grade Parents,
Next week, 3rd and 4th graders will take their state writing test on Tuesday, May 14. We encourage you to talk to your child about doing their best! For tests days, please make sure they get a good night's rest, eat a good breakfast, on time for school, and make the morning they test as pleasant as possible. They have been working hard all year and know they will do great!!
Teacher of the Year!
Congratulations to Mrs. Sara Smith for being Pass Road Elementary's Teacher of the Year! Mrs. Smith embodies the definition of what it means to be a great teacher. She is patient, kind, understanding, firm, and truly a phenomenal human being. She listens to understand students and coworkers’ needs and communicates effectively and efficiently. In the darkest of situations, she never complains and makes the best out of it. She has been such a great asset to our school and to our children. She truly exemplifies the Gulfport Way!
Congratulations to Mrs. LaShonta Sanders for being Pass Road Elementary's Teacher Assistant of the Year. Mrs. Sanders is a caring and empathetic teacher. She has had to step in and take over her classroom many times this year. She has done so with such a positive attitude. If you didn't know any better, you would think she was a seasoned vet teacher. She is a wonderful addition to the PRE family.
Thank You!!!

FREE ONLINE TUTORING for 3rd-5th grade
If you ever need help with your school work, there’s a live tutor available to help you 24/7 on Paper, if your child is enrolled in grades 3-5.
Available anytime, anywhere, no matter what you’re working on, you’ll be able to connect with an expert tutor instantly. These are real people who are friendly, approachable, and want to help you succeed. To learn more about Paper and how you can get started, visit the MDE + Paper Website and check out the student resources.
To get started with a tutoring session all you have to do is log in, ask your question, and they’ll give you a helping hand. To login:
Type your school’s name
Log in via Google using your school credentials
Once you let a tutor know what you’re working on, you can expect them to ask you questions about what you’ve tried, what you understand, what you don’t understand, and from there they’ll talk you through the steps. Paper is a place for you to improve, and that doesn’t happen when you just look up answers.
Free Educational App for prek-2nd grade
In HOMER’s explicit, systematic, and sequential reading program, children follow a set path that starts with the introduction of a letter sound and its corresponding letter and moves step-by-step toward reading and spelling words using the targeted sound in conjunction with sounds a child has already mastered. The child can rely on this progression early— before the end of first grade (National Reading Panel, 2000).
