We will be STAAR Testing on May 8-10th.

Due to state testing security and standards, only

trained personnel can be on campus these days.

Therefore, we cannot have visitors at Aloe for any

grade level.

Please do not plan to come eat lunch with your

children or visit the school these three days. If you

need to leave something for your child, we will

make sure that it gets to them.

Thank you for your cooperation and support.

Parents, please remember that all public

Counselor’s Corner

A WORD about TEXTING!...SAFETY, SAFETY,

SAFETY!

Any child with a cell phone probably uses it to send and

receive text messages and images. It’s similar to using

email or instant messaging and most of the same eti-

quette and safety rules apply. If your child is texting,

remind them to:

Respect others. Texting shorthand can lead to mis-

understandings. Think about how a text message

might be read and understood before sending it.

Ignore text messages from people they don’t know

Learn how to block numbers from their cell phone

Avoid posting their cell phone number online

Never provide financial information in response to a

text message
