I am excited and looking forward to being back in the library!

Message from Ms. Jones
Good afternoon, QVE!
As you know, we have STAAR testing the week of May 9th. I have modified the enrichment schedule so that each grade level will have a planning period on each day.
Please review the schedule that was emailed to you last week so that you are aware when your grade level will have enrichment.
The lunch schedules have been modified in the afternoon as well to allow the maximum testing time for each grade level without interruptions.
Let me know if you have questions.
Thanks.
