Principal's Corner
Happy Sunday!
Reading STAAR has arrived! Thank you for your diligence in preparing our students. Now's the time to show off our hard work. On Monday at 2 p.m. we are hosting an assembly for our 3rd-5th graders, "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?" (I could use another two staff members to go up against our fifth graders.) The assembly will be followed by a clap out. We will make an announcement when it's time for our Pre-K-2nd grade students to line the halls.
On Monday, Ms. Brinkman will be providing 3rd-5th grade classes SEL lessons to support our test takers. Please sign up for a time slot if you have not already.
