It's been great seeing so many of our parents in the building for parent/teacher conferences. Our teachers were excited to talk about student progress and learning goals. Be watching for 3rd-5th grade report cards that were sent home today! Wednesday was the beginning of the 2nd Nine Weeks grading period, and we look forward to seeing our students' continued academic growth!
We want to congratulate the students listed below for their artistic work that was chosen to be on display for the Plano ISD Elementary and Middle School "Exploration" art exhibit. The exhibit is located in the Plano ISD Administration Building and can be viewed from Wednesday, October 13, through Friday, November 12, during regular business hours. What an honor!

Parents,
Masks are recommended at school and although we do have some on hand for students who forget theirs, we are running out quickly and cannot provide them every day. Please be sure to send your child to school with a mask if you prefer for them to wear one. Thank you for your help with this.
