FROM THE PRINCIPAL

I have had such a fabulous and busy week!  I’ve met so many warm and friendly people. Thank you so much for welcoming me into the Hopewell family.  I enjoyed meeting some parents and students last night and sharing my excitement and ideas for our great school.  I hope to meet each and every one of you this year, and I’m looking forward to being at Hopewell for many years to come.  Have a wonderful weekend!

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.

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.org.  All students interested in taking the AAPPL test must have a “Consent for Testing Form” signed by a parent or guardian and returned to the Ms. Galindo by November 16, 2016. Testing will take place on December 1^st and December 2^nd.

Band Notes

Please join me in congratulating some outstanding performers from this Saturday at District Band auditions.  Though all of our students came a long way and we are proud of their growth, 5 students were recognized as District honorees.  In addition to District honors, 12 students will progress to the next round this coming weekend!
