Campus Reminders
Arrival
Safety is our top priority so we are asking that parents please do not be on their cell phones during drop off times. This will help all parents be vigilant to their surroundings.
Due to the constant changing of Texas weather, we now have both entrances in the front of the school open for scholars to enter through. We have an adult standing at each door to welcome scholars.

- Make reading a part of your daily routine.
- Ask your child questions.
- Play rhyming games to build phonemic awareness . . . and just for fun.
- Bring reading and writing into everyday life.
- Be attentive and engaged when you communicate with your child.
- Read together.
