Coming Up:

🚩Sept 4th: Labor Day -School Holiday🚩

Sept 13th & 14th: Math TFAR Assessment

Sept 20th & 21st: ELA TFAR Assessment

Sept 27th & 28th: Math TFAR Assessment

Oct 2nd - 5th: Zap the Zeros Week

🚩October 6th - 9th: FALL Break- School Holiday 🚩

A TFAR, or Texas Formative Assessment Resource, is an assessment that is in the same system as the STAAR test. Students will alternate each week by taking a 10-question math test one week, and the next week they will take a 10-question ELA test that has questions similar to what they will see on the STAAR test. This assessment will be taken by using the link from your student's teacher. The link will be posted each week in the OMHS and your student will take the test on their own. If your student cannot find the link, please have them attend office hours with their teacher on Wednesday or Thursday. This assessment is a grade, so please ensure it is complete each week.

Twice each semester we host Zap The Zeros sessions. The first one is October 2nd - 5th. This entire week is dedicated to completing missing/late work, reviewing and retaking quizzes in the OMHS that have a failing grade, and getting the student's grades up. In class, they will review and have an opportunity to ask their teachers questions to help them on their assignments.

LSOA's acceptable use policy covers inappropriate background visuals and sounds. You can find it in the student handbook linked here: Under "Calendar & Handbook" section.

Background Blur: Background Blur can be activated in two places: when you activate your device and on the device settings page. To enable background blur, toggle the feature on. This feature is currently only available in Chrome.

Tip: When toggling on the background blur, be sure to allow the background blur to start before selecting "Confirm."

Reminder: To ensure a safe and respectful learning environment for all students, members of LSOA will follow the policy outlined in the student handbook.

LSOA attendance requirements: The state of Texas requires your student to have an average of 450 minutes (7.5 hours) of daily attendance or 35 hours/2, 250 minutes each school week.

• Attendance minutes are tracked by the computer as your student logs in for class connect sessions, testing sessions and to complete daily lessons.
• The learning coach will monitor the student outside of the OMHS to ensure the student is getting the rest of their daily time in. This will be accumulated through lunch, recess, extra reading, extra practice, educational games and any other school-related activity done by the student.
