We are excited for our 8^th grade students to have the opportunity to take part in an overnight trip to San Antonio on May 22^nd – May 24^th ! 50 students who meet behavioral expectations will be invited to attend the trip, and are receiving their invitation on Friday, 4/26. Students who are invited must return their invitation on Monday, 4/29 to accept their spot. Students who are on the waitlist will receive an update next week on if they are invited to attend.

STAAR Is here:

Next week, all Aviators will engage in their FINAL STAAR Test of the 23-24 school year! Aviators must arrive at school by 8:30 am and cannot be picked up early on STAAR days. Aviators will engage in Math or Algebra I EOC STAAR Exams next Wednesday, May 1^st. Students must bring a charger, charged laptop, and pencil. Cell phones and smart watches will be collected and returned at the end of the day. Ensure that your Aviator has a hearty breakfast, a good night’s sleep the night before, and is ready to uphold all campus expectations! Remember – any Grade Level with 100% attendance will earn Athletic Wear and Crocs!

End of Year Field Trips :

We have lots of exciting field trips approaching to celebrate the end of the year!  Below is a list of approaching field trips. More specific information will be shared in May. Please be aware that students must be meeting behavior expectations to attend these trips—please talk with your student about making responsible choices so they are able to participate in these events!

Senior Signing Day Permission Slips:

It’s that time of year again! On Tuesday, May 21st YES Prep will hold it’s annual Senior Signing Day at the Fertitta Center at the University of Houston. Grades 8 – 10 will be invited for the afternoon session to celebrate seniors from across the district. Permission slips are available now in Skyward and are due by Wednesday, May 8th.  

Count Down to STAAR:

It’s the final stretch, Aviator Families!

The countdown to STAAR begins. It is imperative that your Aviators are on time to school every single day so that instruction is not missed. See the image for the dates for all STAAR testing!

Grade Level Goals :

To close the year strong, each grade level has created a list of specific goals for your student to work to accomplish.  

In 6th & 7th grade, students will be focusing on earning “GRIT”: Showing Growth with their academic work, being Responsible by coming to school and earning no demerits (or being a ‘zero hero’), be responsible and wear IDs every day, and build Trust by having no honor code violations or Code of Conduct violations.  

In 8th grade, students are working to earn their spot on the 8th grade spring trip by having the fewest negative points (Demerits/Detentions/Suspensions). If you have questions about the 8th grade spring trip, please reach out to Tamir.Jackson@yesprep.org 

In High School, students have a “Bingo board” of goals they are working to get signed off on by their teachers. These goals range from being present every day, to earning Frequent Flyer Miles, to showing our core values.  

We are excited to end the year strong and celebrate your Aviator students!
