Good Evening, Ranger Families!
With only two months left in the school year, we are proud of our Rangers' accomplishments this year. We are on the brink of testing season. Please be on the lookout for any testing communication coming from various areas across campus. Whether it's EOC, AP, TSI, etc., end of year testing is important. Please encourage your children to check in with teachers if they have questions about upcoming testing.
We have quite a few exciting events as we finish up the year. Please review dates included in the Valley View and dates disseminated from groups across campus. Thank you!
Rangers We Will Be!
