PRINCIPAL POINTS, PRAISES & PRACTICES
Booker Bengals,
Although it's MOY testing time, we want our students to stay engaged! We will still be participating in our 12 Days of holiday fun even during our testing week! We all know that the break is near and we want our students to show some HOLIDAY CHEER! It is extremely important for us to create a safe, calm and stress free testing environment for our scholars! So, keep them motivated and in good spirits!
During our MOY testing, students will get the chance to SHOW WHAT THEY KNOW and continue to help us move our campus from a "D" to a "B" rating. WE CAN DO IT! I KNOW WE CAN AND I KNOW YOU BELIEVE IN US, TOO! Remember during Open House, we all made a pact to do whatever it takes for our campus to improve student achievement and move that needle.
Our MOY Testing is next week and WE NEED YOUR HELP! These assessments are extremely important! We get to see the progress your child has made and also identify learning gaps. With MOY data, we will be mapping out our instructional focus for the campus and individual students. We will create daily and after school tutorial plans and target student groups who need additional assistance!
YOU CAN HELP US HAVE A FANTASTIC TESTING WEEK BY FOLLOWING THE TIPS BELOW:
HAVE YOUR CHILD GET PLENTY OF REST
MAKE SURE THEY ARRIVE BY 8:00 AM READY TO TEST
IF THEY NEED BREAKFAST - PLEASE DROP THEM OFF BETWEEN 7:30 - 7:45 AM
AVOID MAKING APPOINTMENTS THIS WEEK!
PLEASE REFRAIN FROM CHECKING YOUR CHILD OUT EARLY
MOTIVATE YOUR CHILD TO DO THEIR BOOKER BEST
(Write them a happy note or surprise message on the bathroom mirror)
TALK TO THEM ABOUT YOUR EXPECTATIONS WITH BEHAVIOR & ACADEMICS
We have a student competition going and all students will be participating! PreK - 5th grade!
We will be offering MOY Motivation Points & Parties for students who:
- COME TO SCHOOL ON TIME & EACH DAY DURING THE TESTING WINDOW
- DO THEIR BOOKER BEST SHOWING THEIR STRATEGIES & BEHAVING APPROPRIATELY
- MAKE PROGRESS FROM BOY TO MOY
All levels will be celebrating next week, once the week is complete. So, help your child be a part of some fun for working hard.
- 3rd-5th - PERFORMANCE PUNCH PARTIES
- PK-2 - SUNDAES SUCCESS SMILEY PARTIES
We appreciate your continued support and cannot do this work without you! Send positive vibes to our students and staff for a productive and high performance week full of many success stories soon to come! Our efforts must not stop now! Booker Believers, let's keep reaching for the stars!
Sincerely,
Keisha Womack

Privacy and Data:
Our student ID cards are safe and secure. We use PVC cards with a passive RFID chip containing only a unique identification (UID) number. The UID in the chip is read by our card reader, and our system uses it to reference student information. The latest cloud technology, encryption, and security protocols ensure your child’s information is secure.

Administrator Conference Request
It is important for us to communicate with you.

Often times we are in classrooms meeting with our students and providing strategic instruction, meeting with our staff, or attending off-campus meetings.
We appreciate you scheduling an appointment, in advance with the campus secretary in order to avoid a long wait or a return to trip our campus.
Thank you for understanding, it is greatly appreciated.
CAMPUS POLICIES & PROCEDURES
QUICK LINKS
Looking for ways to help! We would love to have you!
We are looking for volunteers and parents who are interested in supporting our scholars and staff this year. There are many ways to get involved. You can get involved behind the scenes, holding a PTO Board Office, volunteering at campus events, or so many other ways. Please complete both forms below:
BOOKER VOLUNTEER FORM 24-25 Spring ISD Volunteer Form.
It is important to do both forms. One is tailored just for us and specifies what you'd like to do as a volunteer and the other application is a district mandate for all Volunteers in Schools.
Booker Volunteer Interest Form
Spring ISD VIP Volunteer application:
We must get you approved by the district before serving on campus as a volunteer. Booker's volunteer interest form is just a way that we can try to track our interested parents and community members on the district's spreadsheet and get them in faster! However, it is not the actual volunteer request form! So, please visit the VIP Website and complete the application! Please call the front office and let the front office know that you have been approve as a VIP for our district! This system will allow us to track your status and get you registered for next year. We would like to start developing our Parent Engagement Team interest to hopefully roll out BIGGER AND BETTER THINGS FOR BOOKER!
