STAAR TESTING AND PREPARATION

STUDENTS WILL TAKE THE ENGLISH I STAAR EOC ON TUESDAY, APRIL 13. Per the Texas Education Agency, this test must be taken on campus and continues to be a graduation requirement. To make the day fun, we're planning a 'game day' theme to celebrate the milestone for our freshmen. Please have them wear their favorite jersey or team shirt so they bring their "A" game. We'll have one more practice session this Saturday, April 10 from 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. 

STUDENTS WILL TAKE THE ENGLISH II TEST ON THURSDAY, APRIL 22. See the flyer for prep session times and codes to the Google Classrooms.

NOTE FROM NURSE TRACY

The Children's Health website is great for families that still have questions about the C-19 vaccine. We are in the home stretch and the numbers are staying low, but I do want to start preparing for our return in 2021/22.

We are starting a pilot program here at Woodrow for morning check in. This program was donated to DISD from Children’s Medical and it will be a well check in for ALL staff and students. It will go district wide in the new school year.

Parents can email me with questions.
