Every scholar, every day! May 2021
A Message from Leslie Thomas
Hello Diamondbacks!
We are down to our final weeks of the 2020-2021 school year! This school year has been like no other. Our teachers and scholars have worked under circumstances that were all new to us. We all found a way to continue learning and growing and making the best of the situation. I am very proud of all our scholars for doing their best this year. I am grateful to our teachers and parents for their support and resiliency. Hopefully we will all be together again in July!
Next week is STAAR testing for grades 3-5. Please mark your calendar, get a good night's rest and a eat healthy breakfast. It's time to shine!
We are beginning a virtual fundraiser to assist us with campus purchases for our scholars. Please see the link below to contribute! We truly appreciate your support!
1st grade and 5th grade scholars will be turning in their IPADS and devices at the end of this school year. We will be sending out more information soon.
Should you have any questions please call the campus and we will do our best to assist you. Please make sure to check our campus web page frequently at sisd.net/cactustrailses as important information is posted there. You can also follow me on Twitter to keep updated and informed about school openings and schedules.
Cactus Hugs & Hisses,
Leslie Thomas
