Interim STAAR Testing Next Week
STAAR Interim Testing will be held next week for students enrolled in English I (January 19), English II (January 17th) and Algebra I (January 18th). Students in these courses will receive an email with a room assignment the night prior to each test. We will be following a regular bell schedule during testing. Some classrooms will be rerouted to temporary locations as dedicated classrooms will be utilized to administer the tests. A list of rerouted classrooms will be posted for students and shared via Remind, School Messenger, and through student/teacher communication channels. Interim STAAR test data is used to help refine curriculum and support students in their mastery of course state standards. Questions, please email Debbie Campbell.

Library News
Welcome back to the Spring Semester, Cardinal Community!
This week has been a busy first week back. In the first week we have had about 924 visits (student visits and students with classes) and we have checked out 93 physical books, 3 eBooks/audiobooks , and 45 graphic novels through Comics Plus database.
Ms. Carpenter had classes come visit the first week back. One spotlight is Ms. Stone's Forensic Science classes. The forensic science classes are doing a comprehensive collaborative project to apply their prior knowledge of forensics to some gruesome tales. In the classes, we read and analyzed one of the original fairy tales from Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen. These stories are much darker than the widely known versions we see through current media, as they were cautionary tales. The students looked at setting, characters, and plot specifically to help generate and analyze the crimes committed in these original stories, and the evidence scientists would find on the scene.
The library also helped these classes to use educational technology: Book Creator, Sway, and others to create their final in-depth Forensic report on their chosen tale.
