Welcome

This week was Counselor Appreciation Week - shout out to Ms. Koerth for everything that she does for our students!

Next Tuesday there is both a CAC Meeting (3:30) and a PTA Meeting (6 pm), both in the library - we hope you can join us for one or both to get caught up on all of the happenings around the school.

STAAR Interim Testing will continue next week for grades 3 - 6. You can see the schedule and details here.

Library Classes will also adjust to accommodate for testing - please see the schedule below and help your student remember their library book on the right day!
