A note from Mrs. Cureton:
Today, we celebrated the work and growth our 3rd-5th graders have had so far this year at our STAAR Pep Rally. Please check out our Facebook page for pictures from this fun event on campus. Next week begins our STAAR testing period for grades 3-5. Please help us set your student up for success by getting your student to school no later than 7:50am. STAAR testing will begin right at 8:00am. Thank your for your help with this!
STAAR Testing : The campus will be closed to visitors on the days we have state assessments. This means that all students are expected to be at school (PK-5), but we cannot have visitors on campus for lunches, meetings, etc. Our first state test is the STAAR Reading test on Tuesday, April 25th. Good luck to our 3rd-5th graders taking this assessment!
Talent Show: We are excited to host our Talent Show again this year for grade 3-5. The Talent Show will take place on May 24th, during the school day. Talent show forms have been sent home with all students in grades 3-5. If your student is interested in participating, please make sure to return the permission slip to Ms. Lynch by Monday, May 1st. Auditions for the talent show will be held on May 1st & 4th during grade level specials times.
Have a great weekend!
-Sarah Cureton, Principal
