Perfect Attendance Raffle for the Month of February and March
We were gifted tickets for Opening Day of the Houston Rodeo. Kindergarten-Third grade students who have four or less absences total for the months of January and February will be invited on this special field trip on Wednesday, March 1st, 2023. We will have an alternate celebration for PreK students.
Value of the Month
Our Core Value of the month is Relentless: Sparks never give up in pursuit of our dreams. We never stop working to make the world a better place.
The teachers will discuss the value daily with students and identify students throughout instruction that are displaying the value. Every week teachers will choose a core value winner and the winner is recognized during their grade level community circle and also receive an award.
