STAAR Reminders
- Tuesday, April 23rd all 5th grade students will take the Science STAAR.
Tips for STAAR Success
- Get a Good Night's Sleep: Get plenty of rest the night before the test. A well-rested mind is better equipped to handle challenges and retain information.
- Eat a Nutritious Breakfast: A healthy breakfast can provide the sustained energy needed for optimal performance.
- Stay Hydrated: Drinking water throughout the day helps us to stay alert.
- Healthy Snacks: Snacks and water will be provided, but if your child prefers to bring snacks from home, choose options that are easy to eat and won't leave residue.
- Stay Positive: Keep a positive attitude towards the test. Our students have prepared well and are ready to do their best.
Pre-K and Kindergarten Round-up
PreK/Kinder Roundup for BCISD will begin on April 8th and run through April 19th. The first 200 to complete the full registration will receive a swag bag of Bulldog goodies on Meet the Teacher Night 2024! Registration is completely online on the BCISD website linked under the Parent and Student page.
Attendance Matters
Bertram's ADA for this past week was 93.68%.
ADA stands for Average Daily Attendance and is defined as the total days of student attendance divided by the total days of instruction. "98 IS Great!", so 98% is our goal! We recognize that illnesses and events take place that necesitate absences, however, we do encourage every student to be in school every day he/she is able. Let's work toward 98%!
