FYI - I will be out of town on Monday.
- Teachers - please make sure your students do not take any writing utensils (or erasers) with them when they go to the restroom. The custodians are having to spend much time cleaning graffiti off the walls. Periodic checks by you in the stalls might help us find the culprits!
- Courtney Thibodeaux will be conducting surveys for Community in Schools on Friday. Look for more information from her email.
- All certified staff (and any paras that might help with testing) need to attend a staff meeting on Wednesday at 3:30 for Confidentiality Training.
- All around the campus we are seeing great learning because of your lessons and activities. We set the bar high on MAP growth and need to keep the momentum going so we gain even more ground from now until the end of April when we will take the spring MAP. Then after that, we hope to see 100% success on the STAAR assessments in 3rd-5th.
- Tutoring - when you tutor a student after school, please complete this form. If you have tutored since January and have all the information needed, you may fill out a retroactive form.
YOU have the power to make such a difference in the lives of your students!

Restorative Progress Check In
Meal Train for Holly Carnes
We wanted to put together a meal train for Holly and her family to help make dinner time easier for them for the two weeks after her surgery. Holly pours herself into her job and our students daily and we'd love to show her how loved she is.
This can be anything from homemade meals, store bought meals, fast food, take out, delivery or even gift cards to local places.
You can sign up as a team, in groups or individually.

Meal Train for Holly and family
