1. Do guardians have to purchase uniforms from a specific place? 

   1. No, parents can buy uniform pieces wherever they want. We suggest they start looking now so you have enough time to find the right sizes.

2. Is it too late to do choice sheets? 

   1. No, guardians will fill it out when they come in and register with Ms. Forward. If they need to take it home to discuss it with their student, they can! All they have to do is snap a picture and email it to Ms. Forward so she knows what they picked. 

   2. Choice sheets are not based off of academic grades or STAAR scores. 

3. Do I have to write an essay or apply to get into Garcia YMLA?

   1. Nope! Enroll like normal.

Counselors’ Corner

Rincón Consejero

Dear families,

It has been a great week at Wooten! 5th graders buckled down to prove their science knowledge in STAAR on Wednesday. I’ve been enjoying my ongoing counseling lessons, which have been very fruitful this week, with several students embracing a body scan relaxation technique that can be challenging even for adults. 

This past week we celebrated Office Staff Appreciation Day (Genesis Cazares, Marianny Alcantara, and our devoted volunteer, Leticia Hernandez). Next week is for Afterschool Professionals (Tanisha Pemberton). Help us show gratitude to our amazing staff that keep Wooten running smoothly, with a kind word or note, or through AISD’s RAVE website. 

This month’s character trait is Courage, “choosing what is helpful, right, and kind - even when it’s hard or scary.” Practice at home! Reflect, think, and discuss things you would like to do, but find intimidating or scary (individually or as a family). Maybe it’s a new hobby, trying a new game, sharing your art or invention with others, or going on an adventure somewhere. Give 1 of these things a try together this month and take a selfie to capture the memory!

Our most Courageous students will be celebrated this coming Friday, April 25 at the Breakfast of Champions. Be on the lookout for an invitation from your child’s teacher!

Finally, as the final STAAR testing day for 3rd-5th grades approaches, remember that the best way to help students prepare is plenty of food, water and sleep before the test. Test anxiety can also hold us back from demonstrating our knowledge. Help your child prepare to ease that anxiety with some calming strategies. One practice is positive affirmations, which students can practice beforehand to remember during the test. Here are some examples. Choose a few that work best for your child, or come up with your own, and repeat them over the next few days. 

As always, don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions, concerns or suggestions:

Como siempre, no duden en comunicar conmigo por cualquiera pregunta, preocupación o sugerencia:
