The Weekly Falcon

Northwood Hills Elementary School

Our next Cici's NHE Pizza Night will be tonight Tuesday, February 19
If your child is participating in the Six Flags Reading project, reading logs are due on Monday, February 25.
There are 9 more school days until the 3rd and 5th graders take their first administration of the Reading TAKS on March 5! On that same day, 4th graders will show off their writing skills on the Writing TAKS. Results for Reading usually arrive around Spring Break. Writing scores will be reported in May. We are shooting for at least 90% passing each of these tests!
