Waggoner’s Word: WHAT’S HAPPENING IN THE HIVE
Hopewell Parents:
It has been a fun and challenging week at Hopewell:
Pep Rally Fun-- Ask your students about our Wednesday Pep Rally. School spirit was bouncing off the rafters thanks to our cheerleaders, dancers, and band!
Hundreds of flu shots were administered on Thursday.
And with the 1st Six weeks grading period ending tomorrow (9/30), teachers and students are hard at work making sure all assignments are turned in, tests completed, and retakes finished. Whew!!
Picture day is tomorrow, 9/30.
Have a great weekend,
Rebecca Haynes, Interim Principal
KEEPING IT SAFE WITH SRO HARPER-HILL:
BIKES: Recently we had a bike stolen from the bike racks. I have noticed that some students leave their bikes unlocked. Please encourage your student to lock his/her bike so that we can decrease the incidence of bike theft and make our school grounds safer.
Cyber Security Please see attached link of the Cyber Security Presentation, presented by our SRO, Harper-Hill. Your student attended this presentation during grade level assemblies this past Monday. We want to make sure our community is informed of the issues we are seeing on our campus and educate our students, parents, and staff. Things highlighted in RED were the key points presented. Please take the time to view the presentation and have a conversation with your student about Cyber Security. Thanks for your help!

COUNSELOR’S CORNER
Would your student like to earn high school credit early?
If your student knows a language other than English, he/she may be eligible to take the AAPPL test to potentially earn high school credit in Foreign Languages. Foreign Language tests offered to Middle School students are: Arabic, French, German, Mandarin Chinese Traditional, Mandarin Chinese Simplified, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish.
The AAPPL test or the Assessment of Performance toward Proficiency in Languages is an online, self-paced test that will measure your proficiency in a language other than English in four different areas: reading, listening, speaking and writing. Depending on the student’s results on this test, your student may receive high school credit and also be placed in higher-level LOTE courses, if offered.
If you think you would benefit from this test and/or would like further details, please contact Ms. Galindo in the counseling office at Maricela_galindo@roundrockisd.
