Welcome!I am Ms. Malveaux and I teach English I & II. I am very excited about this year. This is my sixth year teaching and I can't believe it! I am a graduate of Westfield High School and received my BA in English from Fisk University in Nashville, TN in 2000.

The TAKS Test is fast approaching. The actual date for the exam is March 5, 2008. We have been reviewing objectives that your child will be tested over frequently in class. I believe they will blow this test away! Please sit down with your child and talk with them about the importance of doing well on this exam. Please make sure that they have a good nights sleep and eat a well balanced breakfast the morning of the test.

The final days of TAKS Tutorials: Tuesday, February 26th and Wednesday, February 27th. Tutorials are from 2:45 - 3:30. There is an activity bus on these days that departs the school at 4:00. Hope to see you there!

TAKS is only two days away. Your child has been equipped with everything that he/she needs in order to be successful on this exam. I am attaching a link to the TEA website which has several release test that you and your son/daughter may look over together. These test have the answer keys so that you may review the answers with your child. There is also a practice under the "Downloads" section of my website that you can review with your child. www.tea.state.tx.us/student.assessment/resources/release/taks/index.html
