Principal's Corner
5th grade Science STAAR is this week! They have been working very hard with our guest teacher, Breanna Molix and Ms. Gonzalez. I cannot wait to see how well they do! Please remind your child that we are expecting their best and we know that they will do GREAT! It is very important that your children arrive to school on time so that they can be calm and start on time, as well as eat breakfast! Thank you for your support!
Have you voted? We want our children to understand what a privilege it is to participate in the voting process. As you cast your ballot in the May election, either during the early voting period, April 24-May 2, or on actual election day, May 6, we ask that you partner with your child and let them bring your “I Voted” sticker to school so we can create a huge “I Voted” display at our campus.
This is a reminder that there may only be 1 adult attend parent lunches on FRIDAY. We just do not have enough space to house multiple people. We have a new data clerk in the office that was not aware of the rule- so if you were able to have 2 last week, you will not be allowed 2 moving forward. Thanks!
