A Message from Mr. Symank
Thank you for allowing your students to participate in the district wide food drive last week. Through our Penny Wars: The Greatest Showman campus competition last week, we raised approximately 62,000 pounds of food for the Brazos Valley Food Bank. Wow! I am truly blown away by the generosity of our campus. It was a lot of fun for a great cause and our students did an amazing job! I couldn’t be prouder of their efforts.
We will begin another round of STAAR Testing in two weeks beginning on Monday, May 14. Our 6th grade students will take the math test on Monday and their reading test on Tuesday, May 15. Our 5th grade students will take their science test on Wednesday, May 16. Our campus will be closed to visitors Monday – Wednesday.
At the end of this month we will have a faculty student basketball game for all students, 5th grade movie field trip, talent shows, and 6th grade field trip to Grand Station. Our students have been informed that participation in these events is a privilege and that their participation will be determined by their behavior. Students with multiple behavior incidents or serious offenses will not be allowed to take part in these events. We will certainly communicate this with you directly if anything occurs that will keep your child from participating.
We will be out of school on Monday, May 28 in honor of Memorial Day. Our last day of school for the 2017-2018 school year will be Thursday, May 31. This will be an early release day as the students will be dismissed at 1:30 PM. Students will have the opportunity to eat lunch and our buses will run as usual.
It has been a wonderful year and we are looking forward to finishing strong. A lot is going to happen over the next month and it will all be over before we know it. Please let us know in advance of any absences that you foresee for your student. This will help us ensure that they receive all their makeup work.
Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to work with your children.

With remind & Facebook, parents can receive helpful reminders and interesting news where it is most convenient.
We share even more info for parents through Facebook for the school here and for the PTO here. It is encouraged that parents toggle on "Get Notifications" on the top of our pages. Otherwise, many posts will not be included in your news feed without being boosted with an ad buy. We'd rather spend our money on the kids:)
