A note from Mrs. Cureton:

Thank you to all of our families that came out for our Math, Makers, & More Night! We had a blast learning along with you at this event! Congrats to our two students who won the family night prize baskets!  We hope you & your family enjoy a night of fun with those special treats! Please see our Facebook page for pictures of the event and prize winners! 

5th grade Science TTAP Assessment: This coming Tuesday, January 31st, all of our 5th grade students will be taking the state of Texas Science TTAP assessment. This is a state assessment, so our campus will be closed to visitors on this day to ensure a secure testing environment. We will not be able to have visitors at lunches on this date. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. 

5th grade parents: Hubbard Middle School (our feeder middle school) is hosting a preview night for incoming 5th graders! Please join them on Monday, February 13th, from 5:00pm-6:30pm to tour the school, meet the teachers, and learn more about middle school.

Early Release: We will have an early release day on Thursday, February 9th @12:30pm. Boys and Girls Club(BGC) will not be open on February 9th--if you have a student that attends BGC, please make arrangements to have your student picked up at 12:30pm on this day. We also have a staff/student holiday on Friday, February 10th--no school for staff or students on this day!

Have a great weekend!
