SAFETY ALERT....TES Traffic Flow Plan
Parents,
Please be reminded of the TES Traffic Flow plan that is in place for the safety of all our scholars and staff. All car riders are to use parking lot B for morning drop off and afternoon pick up. Please follow these procedures to ensure scholars are safe when entering and exiting vehicles!
The safety of all persons is of utmost importance and I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter.
You can view our traffic plan at the link below and if you have any questions, please contact the front office.
Thank you,
Dr. Amerson
Parents,
It's that time of year again for our teachers and staff to show you what our scholars have worked on all year in preparation for the upcoming STAAR test for all 3rd- 5th grade scholars.
Join us on Thursday, March 30th @ 5:30 pm for fun learning, prizes, and refreshments!
BONUS: FOR EVERY 3RD- 5TH GRADE SCHOLAR WHO ATTENDS WITH A PARENT OR GUARDIAN, RECEIVE A FREE DRESS PASS!
Parents, we are encouraging our scholars and families to bring in pictures and short explanations of "Wonder Women" in their lives to be displayed on the front bulletin board of our school. Also scholars in 4th and 5th grades have been invited to complete a more in depth profile of an Influential Woman to be placed in the main hallways. Please let Mrs. Hammel, Mrs. M. Diaz, and/or Ms. Harrison know if you have any questions.
