• Storytime and concert at City Place in November?

  Sarah, parking in the garages there is usually free for the first few hours but check the signs. Sam, if you are bringing a foster kiddo just a heads up the face painting line can get very long and overstimulating. I usually skip that part and head straight for the balloon artists.

• Anyone doing Ren Fest in November?

  It is finally getting cooler so I was looking at the Texas Renaissance Festival themes for next month. Looks like Barbarian Invasion is Nov 14-15 then Highland Fling the next weekend and Celtic Christmas for the three day weekend Nov 27-29. Has anyone taken a double stroller lately? I want to see the jousting but I am worried about the crowds.

• Spring ISD ratings jumped from D to C

  Booker jumping from an F to a B is meaningful for families in that zone. I have had foster placements over the years who attended Spring ISD schools, and constant campus administrative shifts make handling ARD meetings and caseworker check-ins much harder. If a campus stabilizes its academic scores, it usually means leadership is staying put long enough to establish routine.

• Spring ISD STAAR EOC results out today

  It is not just teaching to the test when you are looking at a 37 point combined bump in Meets and Masters across an entire district. That takes actual structural changes in core subjects. If anyone here has a student in Spring ISD and needs to see their actual individual EOC scores right now, you can log into the Texas Assessment Family Portal with your child's access code. If you do not have the portal code, you have to call the district directly at (281) 891-6000 to get it. Do not rely on whatever paper report comes in the mail weeks from now, especially if you have high schoolers needing to plan for summer retests.
