Principal Sheridan Weekly Letter 3/20/23

Good evening Doss Families – 

Welcome back from Spring Break!  It was great to see all the students and staff back on campus and ready to achieve their personal best.  

This week 3rd – 5th graders will be taking a SCAs (short cycle assessment) Math on Wednesday and Reading on Friday.  These assessments will be administered in a STAAR-like format and will give students an idea of what the STAAR test will be like next month.  For your calendar, Reading Language Arts STAAR is Thursday, April 19th, 5th grade Science STAAR is Thursday, April 27th, and Math STAAR is Wednesday, May 3rd. 

Austin ISD is partnering with Panorama Education to measure schools’ climate and culture. The survey opened today to families, staff, and students.  For more information, see the Spring 23 District Survey Plan

Friday, March 24th is an exciting Friday Assembly day!  We will have Anderson Trojans Football players welcoming students at the front entrance and the carline. During the assembly we will recognize Kids’ Heart Challenge winners by giving them a chance to slime a coach, we will celebrate our Special Olympics basketball team and give a huge shout out to our Future Problem Solver teams that are heading to the state competition.  

A friendly reminder, when you come to have lunch with your student, please only have your student join you at the designated visitor tables you may not bring friends with you. When you check in the office, your destination is logged so it is important for you to go directly to the cafeteria for safety reasons.  

Have a wonderful week, 

Principal Sheridan
