GROWING LEADERS!!
Furr Families!
Hello Furr Families!
AND here we are! Another month is upon us! This week was another week of reading, writing and arithmetic....and history, music, technology, art, PE, swimming.....and Social Emotional Learning! I am amazed at what goes into the planning of one minute of school versus a whole week of school, with our students in mind.
There is only 1 week left in this 9 weeks. SPRING Break is nearing! Some upcoming events before we break for spring are...Book Fair (Mar. 2-6); Science Fair (Mar 3-5) and OPEN HOUSE (Thursday, Mar 5th---6:00-7:30 PM)
Science Fair:
Just a reminder Science Fair #ProsperInnovates project are due on Tuesday, March 3rd. Take them to the gym either before school from 7:15 - 7:45 or after school from 2:45 - 3:15. If you need to make other arrangements, please contact Mrs. Harkey at tahrkey@prosper-isc.net.
OPEN HOUSE! You won't want to miss this spectacular event at Furr Elementary! Please carve out some time in your week and save Thursday, March 5th (6:00-7:30 PM) to visit your child's classroom. Our students have been working hard and want to show you everything they have been diligently working on!

STAAR TEST Dates are on the horizon. Parents! I wanted to make you aware of these dates. They essentially will affect EVERYONE. No visitors will be allowed in the building during these days. This also pertains to our lunch visitors, as well. I also ask that if your 3rd, 4th or 5th grader has a scheduled doctor's appointment on these dates, to please reschedule it. Thank you, in advance, for your patience and support with these testing dates.
