Spring Issue (March-April 2022)
Spring Break is almost here!
March 14th-18th
We hope everyone has a restful Spring Break. From this point on, things will be happening fast as we begin the last nine weeks of the school year. Spring is also a time when testing season begins. Mid-term exams will be administered right before Spring break and SAT & ACT/STAAR EOC/TSI/ and AP testing will begin soon after. With all this testing, students may show signs of anxiety and stress. The counselors know this is a stressful time of year and we are here to support them in any way possible. We know this year has been tough but our students, teachers, and staff have shown resiliency and perseverance! Let's keep focused so we can end the year successfully.
Fourth nine weeks begins Monday, March 21st!
