E. Ray Elementary School

Good afternoon Families,

Please take a moment to view our newsletter on ClassDojo. Thank you for another great week! We hope you enjoy the 3-day weekend, and we look forward to seeing our students back on Monday.

Mrs. Pate's 4th Graders are enjoying their math camp.

Best surprise today! Mr. Shelton, our first grade teacher, came in disguised as a substitute for an unforgettable April Fools' Day joke. His commitment to the costume brought so much joy and laughter to students and staff. This is a memory we’ll always cherish!

It's Wellness Wednesday! STAAR tests begin next week. Here are some strategies you can do at home to help your student be their best:

Great job Friday announcement helpers - thank you for bringing the energy going into the weekend!

Professor Brainius had our students chanting, "I love science!"

A special thank you to our families for supporting our Spring Showcase/STAAR Information Night.

Our Spring Showcase/STAAR Informational Night has everything from classroom activities to a live science show. Thank you Professor Brainius for joining us this evening.

Does your Spring Showcase have a flying T-Rex? Ours does! Come on out tonight and see 5th grade student Jonathan Manriquez' 'Sue the T-Rex' display in the cafeteria! The event runs from 5:30-7:30.

Our first graders had a fun time with movement and music with Mr. Gerton.

Congratulations to our IXL Reading Challenge winners!
