STAAR Field Testing
Our Aviators will engage in a STAAR Field Test next Tuesday, February 3rd, where they'll engage with ELA STAAR material. This serves as a final chance for our Aviators to prepare for their STAAR exams this April and serves as a chance for them to experience a real STAAR testing environment. Make sure Aviators are on time and bring their charged laptop!

Aviator Families, we have started the final half of the 2025-2026 school year! We are excited to see our Aviators in class everyday. Our campus ADA goal for this quarter is 94% which means we need our students be present unless excused with a doctor note or other written documentation. Please note that students with 9 or more unexcused absences are subject to attendance recovery which incurs a $50 fee and Saturday attendance. Attendance recovery could potentially impact promotion and result in grade retention.
Please ensure your Aviator is coming to school every day and if you have any doctor's notes or documentation to submit for your student(s) absences, please submit directly to our operations coordinator Ms. Castilleja at Rosa.Castilleja@yesprep.org.
Students who are absent 9 or more times (unexcused) in a semester owe attendance recovery to make up seat time. This is a state requirement in order to allow students to earn credit for a course (high school) or be promoted to the next grade (middle school). Attendance Recovery costs $50 and takes place on Saturdays. Students who have 9 or more absences from last semester are required to make up the hours this spring. Please ensure that your student is present every possible day, or brings a doctors note when possible to excuse absences. Students with excessive absences in the spring will owe hours in the summer.

Dress Code Reminder – Cooler Weather
The weather is approaching back to Houston normal! We want to remind families of our dress code expectations. Students may not wear non–YES Prep outerwear, hoodies, or bring blankets to school. Please ensure your child is prepared with approved YES Prep jackets or sweaters as the temperatures drop. In the event that the weather is below freezing (32 degrees Fahrenheit) as it was last week, students are able to wear non-YES prep outerwear with their Dress Code shirts underneath.
Thank you for your support in helping us maintain a consistent and distraction-free learning environment
