Hello, Aviators,

We are excited to kick school into high gear after our Labor Day break. September begins our after-school ASPIRE program, Unified Tutorials, and Latinx Heritage Month programming and celebrations.

Next week, our high school students will take their SAT college-readiness benchmark and their MAP benchmarks in both Reading and Math. Please be sure that you do not extend your weekend and that your student is in attendance for the crucial benchmark assessments next week, beginning Tuesday.

Finally, as a reminder, attendance impacts promotion. Students may lose credit (high school) or be at risk for retention (middle school) if they are absent for too many days. Be sure that your student is at school on time each day and that you submit an absence note for any day your student may not attend school.

 

Best,

Ms. Brown

High school Beginning of Year Testing

High School Families, next week we will engage in Beginning of Year Benchmarking for our HS Aviators. Aviators will complete a Practice PSAT Benchmark through Khan Academy on Tuesday (9/5). This exam will give them realistic practice to ensure they are prepared for the PSAT and, eventually, ready to take the SAT for college-readiness. On Wednesday, HS Aviators will complete the MAP Benchmark in both Reading and Math. The MAP Benchmark is directly correlated to success on STAAR EOC exams and is a starting place for us to see where we need to support your Aviator this year.

Please ensure students are on time and in class by 8:30 am on Tuesday and Wednesday, as both tests are mandatory.

Aviator Open House:

On Thursday, September 14^th from 4:30pm – 6:00pm we invite you to campus to meet the teachers, see your students classrooms, and receive other campus updates. We will also have uniform shirts available for any family that has not yet received their free shirts. More information on parking and other logistics will be sent out next week.

 

Morning Arrival:

Families, thank you for being patient as we adjust our morning arrival procedure. We are pleased to share that we have seen an improvement for the morning traffic flow and students are able to make it to first period on time.

Uniform Distribution:

Hobby has finally received our remaining uniforms from Bayou City. We will distribute uniform shirts during Aviator Open House ONLY to families who have not received any uniforms.

We will have additional uniform shirts available for families in October after all students have received their initial shirts. More details will be shared once the next shipment arrives.

Attendance:

We know that attending school every day is what helps lead your student to success in the classroom and beyond. We are rolling out attendance challenges this year, one of which is a grade level challenge. Each week, the grade level with the highest Average Daily Attendance will win a free dress pass for the following week. The winning grade level will be announced on Monday Morning Meeting each week and the students in that grade level will win a free dress pass for that Tuesday. Free dress does NOT allow students to wear athletic wear or crocs, but will allow students to wear a top or shirt of their choice. We will send a text to families of the winning grade level each Monday so families know to allow their student to come to school in the updated dress code for that day. As a reminder, any student out of dress code must correct their uniform before being able to attend class. We appreciate your support in having students meet Uniform expectations each day.
