We have recently sent home progress reports home with every child. Please make sure to check your child’s backpack/folder. If you have any questions, reach out to the teacher! Also, it is important to ask the teacher how you can help at home!
K-2 teachers have been assessing your child in reading and math basic skills through the use of the mClass assessment as well as AimsWeb assessment. Make sure to ask your child’s teacher how they did on this beginning of year test. As teachers, we will use the results as a measure to understand in what specific reading and math areas we can support your child’s learning. We will be providing you a copy of the results during the upcoming Parent Teacher conference that is scheduled for Oct 14. More info coming!

As we move into the new school year, our focus shifts to important aspects of digital citizenship.
In August, students engaged with the RRISD Student Acceptable Use Policy to understand how to use their technology responsibly. Now, in September, we’re delving into the concept of Digital Footprints.
To support your child’s learning at home, we encourage you to discuss safe digital practices with them. Here are some questions you might consider asking:
- How have you been a safe digital citizen?
- What are the rules for using your school Chromebook and the Internet?
- What is a digital footprint?
- How can you manage and control your digital footprint?
- What responsibilities do we have regarding our own and others' digital footprints?
Your involvement is crucial in helping our students understand and practice these important concepts. For additional resources and details about the lessons, please visit the Elementary Digital Citizenship website.
Thank you for your ongoing support in fostering responsible and safe digital habits among our students!

The office of Gifted and Advanced Academics is excited to host our first Gifted and Advanced Academic event for the school year. There will also be discussion groups after the event to process what we learn about in the webinar. This is a wonderful opportunity for parents to meet the GAAS staff and connect with other TAG parents.
This event will not be recorded, so if parents want to participate they have to come in person. The webinar itself will be available on the TAGT website for parents to register and watch at home. Here is the link:
