Dear Springtown ISD Families,
Our hearts are with every one of you as we navigate the aftermath of Saturdayโs tornado. We know these past few days have been incredibly challenging for our community, and our primary focus remains the safety and well-being of our students, staff, and families. As we prepare to welcome our students back to campus tomorrow, Thursday, April 30th, we want to provide an important update regarding the STAAR Math assessment for grades 3-4.
As you know, our original testing date of Tuesday, April 28th, was postponed due to school closures. Because this week is the final window for STAAR testing across the state, we have been in close communication with the Texas Education Agency (TEA) to advocate for our students. At this time, TEA wants our students to try and complete their assessments before the window closes.
To give our students a day to settle back into their routines and reconnect with their teachers and peers, we have scheduled the Grades 3-4 Math STAAR test for this Friday, May 1st.We understand that testing may be the last thing on your minds right now. Please know that our goal for Friday is to provide a calm, supportive, and familiar environment. We want our students to feel empowered to simply do their best, without any added pressure during this recovery period. Our teachers and counselors will be on hand to provide extra emotional support for any child who may need it.
Thank you for your incredible resilience and for the grace you have shown our district during this week. We are so looking forward to seeing our students' faces tomorrow.
If your family has been displaced or is facing specific hardships that will make attendance difficult this Friday, please reach out to your campus principal so we can support you.
3rd and 4th grade Math STAAR update!
Our first graders have been having a wonderful time diving into our unit on American Independence! ๐
This week, students brought history to life by dressing up as settlers from the original colonies ๐ and as Founding Fathers ๐ฉ. We even held our own โtea timeโ in honor of the Boston Tea Party! ๐ต
Through these hands-on activities, students learned about the importance of taxes ๐ฐ and how they impacted early settlers. They also tapped into their creativity by imagining their own countriesโcoming up with unique names ๐ and designing flags to represent them ๐ฉ
It has been so exciting to see their engagement and enthusiasm as they connect with this important part of history! โญ๏ธ๐ Great things are happening at Reno Elementary!!!! #WeareReno #PorcupineFamily

๐ถ In Music, we are reviewing what weโve learned through small group stations (centers)! ๐ผ
In these pictures, you can see students working both independently and collaboratively as they read iconic and standard notationโfiguring out the correct rhythm ๐ฅ and pitch ๐ต to play their songs accurately.
Students are working together ๐ค and pushing themselves to go above and beyond their current skills! โญ๏ธ๐

Rain or shine, our staff shows up for our students ๐งกโ
This morning, Officer Long grabbed an umbrella to help keep our kiddos dry as they arrived at school. It may seem like a small gesture, but itโs moments like these that make a big difference.
Itโs the little things that truly matterโand itโs exactly why Reno is the best.

Report cards went home yesterday! Please review, sign, snap a picture for your records and return to school!
As we head into the final stretch of the school year, weโve seen an increase in visits to the nurseโs office for students needing a change of clothes. At this time, our supply of extra clothing is running low.
We kindly ask that you send your child to school with a change of clothes to keep in their backpack. Accidents, spills, and even fun outdoor activities can happen at any grade level!
With Field Day and end-of-year events coming up, this is a great time to plan ahead so your child can stay comfortable and ready to learn (and play!) throughout the day.
Thank you for your support in helping us keep students safe, comfortable, and confident!
๐ฃโจ Our first grade scientists have been hard at work learning all about animal life cycles! โจ๐ฃ
Over the past few weeks, students have been observing chicken eggs in an incubator, watching closely as they developed over 21 days. The excitement peaked on Wednesday when the chicks began to hatchโright before their eyes! ๐ฅ๐
Students were able to witness the entire hatching process throughout the day, and after the chicks arrived, they even got the opportunity to gently hold them. Talk about a hands-on learning experience theyโll never forget! ๐ซถ๐ค

โ๏ธ 2nd Grade Spotlight: Writing to the Future! โณ
Our 2nd graders are becoming chronological thinkers as they explore the concepts of past, present, and future! This week, students took their learning a step further by writing letters to future 2nd graders. ๐
In their letters, students shared advice, experiences, and what theyโve learned throughout the year. This activity helped them understand how time connects events and how their present experiences can impact the future.
By combining writing with social studies concepts like timelines and sequencing, students are strengthening both their communication skills and their understanding of how events happen over time.
We are so proud of the thoughtful ideas and creativity our students are showing as they learn to reflect on the past, live in the present, and look ahead to the future! ๐ Great things are happening at Reno Elementary!
