This week's Tiger Spotlight shines bright on Argelia Barrera, Science teacher. Ms. Barrera exemplifies effective teaching as demonstrated in her classroom activities. Ms. Barrera not only has her students engaged and on task but also creates a positive rapport with her students as she relates the content being taught to real-life situations. Ms. Barrera also works with GT students and gets them ready for DI activities and competitions. In addition she also heads our Bio-Tech Gardening Program in conjunction with Texas A&M University. She is very enthusiastic and has a positive impact on students, staff, and parents. Great Job Ms. Barrera.

It is an assessment for English language learners (ELLs) to test language proficiency of K-12 ELLs in four language domains. The domains tested are listening, speaking, reading, and writing. We are continuing with Telpas Tutorials.The Listening & Speaking part is extremely important as is the Reading component. This year the telpas test will count 10% toward the student achievement along with the Staar Tests. Please help us by bringing the students to school early and help with their homework!
