Principal Notes
What a great week to be a STALLION!
What an interesting few weeks of school! As of this writing, all activities and school is back to normal for next week. We are going to try and file a waiver with the state for the 2 days that we missed. Monday will be business as usual. Please tell your kiddos to came to school with their IDs and minds ready to focus. The first round of STAAR testing begins next week. Three days of missed instruction this time of the year really hurt, but we tried to make it up. We need your help. We need the kiddos to come to school well rested each day and focused. As long as you can help us with those things, we will take care of the rest.
See you around the campus...
Remember, we are the Best school with the Best students and the Best faculty and staff. Good, Better, Best!!! Never let it rest, until your good gets better and your better gets best!
Sincerely,
Leroy Bradley II
