Parent Newsletter April 2017
A Note from Mrs. Conway
Our first round of STAAR testing is over! I am so proud of the work ethic shown by our students.
We are in the spring months of the school year and kids tend to be less focused. Please partner with us to help your child continue in their academic growth.
Please keep in mind that your child's attendance is really important. Our campus attendance rate has been great this month...96.11%!! Awesome Job!
We have lots of fun things going on this 9 weeks!!! Good behavior is a requirement to be able to attend.
April is another busy month, please read this newsletter carefully so that you don't miss anything important.
