Dear Parents/Guardians,
The kids had a great time at Egg Hunts this week and you can see some great pictures HERE.
All 3rd and 4th graders have STAAR testing at the MacArthur campus next Wednesday, April 8. The MacArthur campus will be CLOSED to all visitors on this day. Please ensure your child is at school on time and ready to test on this day.
Also, all re-enrollment forms must be submitted for students by end of the day tomorrow, Friday, April 3 in order for students to not lost their spot at Rapoport Academy for next year. Please ensure that gets completed if you did not do it already.
Have a wonderful 3 day weekend!

Where to focus: Check out the designs in Question One in this survey —those are our students' work!

Spring Photo Day

Spring Photo Day is coming to our elementary schools on Wednesday, April 15.
We’ll be capturing both homeroom class photos and individual Spring portraits. Whether it’s a memento of their favorite classmates or a fresh solo shot with a fun springtime background, these are memories you won't want to miss!
Photo packages from our vendor start at $18, and you can select a specific springtime backdrop for your child’s portrait.
Paper order forms will be sent home soon, but you can skip the paperwork and order online today! Help your student pick out their favorite outfit so they’re photo-ready on the 15th.
