Closed Campus for STAAR testing

Closed Campus for STAAR testing

STAAR testing is scheduled for May 2, and May 9. We will be a "closed campus" on those dates, which means we cannot have any visitors at all on the campus at all during the day. Families may walk children to class, but we cannot have visitors for lunch or any other reason.

Early Pick-Up and Transportation Changes

Please remember that 2:00pm is the deadline to pick up children early from school. Also, if you need to make a transportation change, please call the front office directly before 1:00pm so that we have plenty of time to ensure the teachers know about changes. Please do not contact teachers directly to make transportation changes because you run the risk of the teacher not getting your message in time for dismissal.

Looking for Lanyard Donations!

Looking for Lanyard Donations!

If you have extra "break-away" lanyards for ID badges that you would like to donate, we will take them! Please feel free to drop them in the front office! We're trying to not have to charge students for lanyards because they tend to break, but at the replacement rate, we might have to charge!

Student ID Badges

Student ID Badges

Almost all students now have a student ID. Badges are to be worn at all times.


Bus riders have 2 - one stays on the backpack and one stays on the child at school. Badges should not leave school, but please make sure your child returns with the badge if s/he accidentally takes it home.


If a child needs to replace the badge, the cost is $5.
