Mustang Families,

What an amazing start it has been to March so far. SNOW on March 6th. It seems impossible, but we are reminded that the groundhog may just be correct this year and winter will continue Please continue to use parent square for weather-related updates. Also, plan on having students dress for warm weather and to check the lost and found for their items.

THANK YOU to our PTA for sponsoring the awesome family dance. Mrs. Casillas reported that the students were absolutely adorable all dressed up. Please be on the lookout for conference sign-ups. The last week in March is conference week!

Mrs. Lee
