"Setting the Stage for Learning/Success!"
Week of March 21-25
Mission Statement
A Note from your Principal...
Welcome Back! Whether your time off was spent at home or away, I hope that you were able to unplug and enjoy life!
The next few months will be busy as we enter the assessment season. First, on the horizon, is 4th and 5th grade STAAR testing. With that being said, it is imperative that we protect classroom instructional time and provide our scholars with the most effective instruction. Your presence during this crucial period is paramount to the success of our scholars. TEACHING AND LEARNING must be our main priority! EVERY INSTRUCTIONAL MOMEMT MUST BE PROTECTED!
School is back in session so here's to a great week of teaching and learning!
