Lion's Lore

Hello RLT!

This week marks the beginning of the window to collect TELPAS writing samples. TELPAS is designed to assess the language acquisition progress of LEP students. As discussed during PD, students are required to be assessed annually in reading, writing, listening and speaking.

As a campus we are required to provide quality examples that show the student’s true ability. In an effort to ensure instructional time is not lost to the completion of this assessment, please create prompts which help classroom instruction and also fulfill our state requirements. Assessments are due to Melanie Freeman on February 13 and February 20. Please see Ms. Freeman or Mr. Julian if you have any question. Thanks in advance for meeting the needs of our students.

A celebration to share: We have begun the after school TAKS Academy and our College Night tutorial sessions. Attendance for the TAKS Academy has been roughly 95-98% each night. The College Night (provides tutorials from college students) has increased from thirteen the first evening to twenty-six students this Thursday. Please continue to encourage students to attend the tutorial sessions in the library.

Hope you all have a great weekend,
Lance
