REMINDER: Sign ups for the Spring 2023 Lamar University dual credit program close on Friday!
The details and registration form have been sent to all high schoolers via their school email. So please, check there for all needed information and documents! The email subject line is: Lamar SPRING Courses and Registration and was sent on Nov 7, 2022. If the students are new to the program, they must fill out an Apply Texas application using the step by step instructions provided in the email. Once that has been accomplished, they must email or turn in a completed registration form (also in the email) to Mrs. Thompson. Mrs. Thompson will then submit that registration form on the students behalf after filling out her part. Returning dual credit students only need to submit the registration form to Mrs. Thompson. For students new to the program, one TSI testing opportunity will be today at 8AM and another after Thanksgiving Break. Any questions? Email lthompson@chesterisd.com

Last week our 6th and 8th grade science classes were calculating speed with their own hot wheel races. Using the 5 different tracks Mrs. Powell laid out, each group had to measure the distance, use a stopwatch to time the car, and then use their speed equations to figure out who had the fastest car. Speed = distance/time. Way to go junior high science!
Please see the image for Thanksgiving Break date reminders!
On this day every year, November 11th, we celebrate Veterans Day to honor America's veterans for their patriotism, love of our great country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good. We would like to honor one of our very own, Coach Hilliard, and thank each and every veteran for their service.
5th grade celebrated reaching their goals on the reading CBA (curriculum based assessment) that they took yesterday with ice cream and extra recess today! Mrs. Handley couldn’t be more impressed with how hard each student worked. It’s a great day to be a Yellowjacket!! 💜💛
