*STAAR Testing Reminders
Between the dates of May 3rd and May 13th, students on campus will be participating in the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR). On testing days, the campus will be closed to visitors.
Please remind your student to arrive to campus each day with their district-issued Chromebook and charger. Students may bring a bottle of water to their testing room and a fiction book to read after they complete testing.
If your student is absent on a testing day, please follow the notification procedures on the Cobb website.
CYCLONE CELEBRATION!
Cobb PTA is pleased to announce that the Cobb Year End Festival is coming. Let's celebrate the start of summer! Come and enjoy laser tag, game truck, bounce house, obstacle courses, rock climbing wall, In-N-Out food truck, DJ, Photo booth and more!
The festival is free for Cobb families. In-N-Out meals may be purchased for $5 through the PTA online store in advance or at the event.
School Supplies for 2022-2023
Chromebook Charger Replacements
If your student has lost his/her Chromebook charger, you can purchase a replacement through your Online School Fees account for $25. After purchasing the replacement, your student may pick it up in the front office.
Students who do not pass STAAR tests will need to participate in summer school or summer tutoring programs:
A new state law will require students who do not receive a passing score on the STAAR to complete 30 hours of tutoring on prior-year knowledge & skills in each tested subject. This includes those who do not test, regardless of their performance in class.

Parent Lunch Reservations
The Texas Education Agency states in its Public Health Planning Guidance that school systems should restrict visits in schools to only those essential to school operations.
Lunch on campus is discouraged. However, if you wish to join your student for lunch, visits will be:
- by reservation only, and include one student and his/her parent/guardian (maximum of 2 parents)
- one reservation per lunch period (A, B, and C) per day.
- held at the designated lunch table in the foyer.
Reservations can be made one week at a time by accessing the Signup Genius link. A new link for the upcoming week will be available in the Cyclone Circular every Sunday.
