April 2025 Parent Bulletin

Happy April, RSPA Families!


As spring blossoms around us, it’s a wonderful time to focus on student growth and success. This month, our teachers strive to provide the best instruction to our scholars to prepare them for End-of-Year (EOY) assessments, STAAR, and the next grade level. Our PreK-2nd grade teachers will continuously focus on our growth in our scholars’ reading levels and numeracy skills while our 3rd-8th grade teachers prepare for the upcoming STAAR assessments. 


This STAAR testing season, we are Racing to the STAAR! Our scholars will participate in several activities that will help prepare them for the STAAR test. Teachers have prepared a strategic review that will target needed skills before testing. Our scholars can also practice Progress Learning at home.

 

Join us on April 10th in the RSPA Raceway as we have our STAAR Academic Night for all grade levels. All 3rd-8th grade parents can attend sessions with teachers and learn how you can help scholars at home. PreK-2nd grade parents will engage in fun learning games to reinforce skills your scholar is learning in the classroom. 


PreK-2nd grade scholars will attend various field experiences this month, so please check their folders for permission slips. Please contact your scholar's teacher if you want to volunteer for the field experience. 


Attendance matters and is a vital part of your scholar's success. Our motto is 98% is great. Our classes will compete in The Great Attendance Race to help scholars keep their attendance on track. We’re rewarding the class with the highest attendance in April with a class party, so let's see which grade level will win!


Thank you for your continued support and involvement. Together, we make this learning journey enriching and joyful for our children.


As always, thank you for allowing us to invest in your scholar and being apart of RSPA.

The Great Attendance Race


Check out our April Attendance challenge! Let’s see which class will race to have the highest attendance each week from April 1st to May 23rd! The class that crosses the finish line first wins the class party! Track the race on the bulletin board near the front office.


Remember how much fun our perfect-attendance scholars had at our S.N.O.W. Day? Don't slack now! Scholars with perfect attendance (or only miss one school day or less) from January 21st through May 9th can attend the RSPA Splash Party on May 16th!


Please make sure that your child attends school daily. It is imperative to their academic success and growth in school. As a reminder, students who miss ten or more school days may receive an attendance behavior contract and could be subject to compulsory attendance laws. Remember, three tardies are equivalent to one absence.

Hello, Parents and Guardians,


Last month, during guidance lessons, I discussed test anxiety- what it looks like, symptoms, and coping strategies.


This month, I will discuss test preparation and review coping strategies if they begin to experience any anxiety. Please continue to speak with your child to help ease any frustration, nervousness, fear, etc. they may have.


Be sure to join me for the next session of Coffee with the Counselor on Thursday, April 3rd, to discuss helpful tips to prepare your child for upcoming tests. See you then!


Best Regards,

Jassitte Gibson, M.Ed.

Campus Counselor
