A note from Mrs. Cureton:
Wow! What a great, and fast week before spring break! We had a great turnout for our book fair-thank you to all who came to support our library at the book fair. We also had a great crowd at our Leader in Me Dream Night! Loved seeing our families at this event, enjoying dinner and conversations about your future. Please be sure to head over to our campus Facebook page to see pictures from the event and the winners of our attendance prize drawing!
Thank you to all of our families for your support and encouragement in your child's education.
Benchmark Testing: When we come back from Spring Break, we will be entering testing season on campus. Our 3rd-5th graders start us off with the district reading benchmark on Wednesday, March 22nd. Please help your child do their best on this assessment by having them at school no later than 7:50am and ensuring they get a good night's rest the night before. Dates regarding the math and science benchmark tests are found in the "dates" section of the newsletter below.
Spring Break: Tyler ISD Spring Break is Monday, March 13th--Friday, March 17th. There will be no school during the break.
I hope all of you have a wonderful, relaxing, and enjoyable Spring Break with your families!
-Sarah Cureton, Principal
