Parents,
WOW! What a great first week we had. It was a smooth start to the new year!
** I have listed the 2020 STAAR Dates below - please put these dates in your calendar as it is very important that your child be present on these days. Please avoid making any appointments during these dates. If you have any questions, please let me know as soon as possible

January Pirates of the Month
Jack & Jill Donut Shop
Students are not allowed to take donuts to class with them once class has started. They may bring donuts onto campus and eat them in the cafeteria before the first bell rings.
Please help me out by reminding your students that they will NOT be permitted to leave campus once on campus.
Bringing Your Student Lunch
- If you are bringing your student lunch, please be sure to check in at the Front Office. Due to safety concerns, you are unable to drop off lunch at the Cafeteria. Please make sure that you are only bringing lunch to your child, please do not bring lunch for other students.
Eighth Grade Banquet Meeting and Class Meeting
*PLEASE NOTE: this is an Eighth Grade Banquet, and it should be a nice, low-key event where every eighth grader feels welcome. Church attire or casual dress is expected, NO prom dress attire. Other important information will be discussed at our first meeting.
Eighth Grade Banquet will be held on May 2nd!
Eighth Grade Parents....Update!
Balfour had some technology issues last week. Balfour is working to resolve the website issue, and will extend the deadline for dedications.
Contact Mrs. Hall for questions.
