Happy Administrative Professional's Day to Shannon, Marie, Kleymer and Kerrie! We hope you enjoyed your special day!!
Many, many thanks to Kelly, Georgia and the entire FLEET of staff it took to make this year's STAAR Testing so smooth. We have undoubtedly exemplified this year's theme of being one TEAM of many strengths to prepare each of our Texans to give us their best this week.
Our primary teachers and students did an AMAZING job keeping the halls quiet during transitions and providing tasty treats! Our wonderful Custodians and Cafeteria teams showed unwavering patience and flexibility with the schedule changes. THANK YOU!!!
