On May 7th thru May 9th - high school students will take the remainder of their EOC exams. 3rd thru 8th grade students will take the rest of their STAAR tests on May 14th thru May 17th.
We are confident that our students are ready.

In addition, a number of 9th thru 12th grade students will be taking their AP exams from May 7th thru May 18th. The dates and times of these exams cannot be altered, and students cannot make up an exam if it is missed. The tests that will be administered in May are on the following dates. Please be advised that no visitors are allowed during testing periods. Also, by state law, students will not be allowed to have any electronic devices in the testing areas.

Lunch Menu
Meal Account Balance
Nutritious meals are available daily for a price of $1.70 for breakfast, $3.00 for lunch, and $0.50 for a la carte milk. Each student is provided a lunch account on to which money may be deposited. Households are encouraged to set up an account in School Cafe (www.schoolcafe.com) to view meal balances, make a payment, set low balance alerts, and schedule automatic payments. Payments may also be made in the school office.
Should a student’s meal account balance fall below $0, he /she will be allowed to charge up to -10 $ DISTRICT LIMIT. Once the negative meal account balance limit is reached, the student will receive an alternate meal. Alternate meals consist of cereal, fruit, and milk for breakfast; and for lunch, a sandwich, vegetable, and milk. If a student is later approved for free meals, he/she will begin receiving meals immediately. However, the household is still responsible for paying the negative account balance.
