Fall Common Assessments are here!
Common Assessments Season kicks off THIS week at Hobby on November 11th! All Aviators will engage in at least 4 Common Assessments to practice for STAAR with exams that are 5% of the overall Semester Average for each Aviator. This is the time for Aviators to show what they have learned through purposeful practice in class, Culture Block tutorials, and after-school tutorials. All Aviators will take assessments aligned to STAAR and AP exams so we can see where they are growing and where they still need support. Help us have a smooth testing season by setting your Aviator up for success every day over the next week.
It is imperative that all Aviators are here and present by 8:30 AM every day of testing. Please ensure your Aviator brings their charged laptop with the charger daily. Students are encouraged to leave phones and smart watches at home, as they will be collected if brought to school and will not be returned until end of day. No student will be able to be signed out early on testing days. If your student is sick or unable to attend school, the front office must be notified as soon as possible.
We’re excited to see the GROWTH your Aviators have made this year!

Families, we are excited to host our third annual turkey raffle at Hobby!
