For Kinder and 1st grade, please email your child's teacher if you give permission for your child to be released by an older sibling. We must have this parent permission documentation on file. 

We will not release students to parents parked in the parking lot. You must meet your child at the flag pole.

Astronotes for March 29, 2017

Mar 29, 2017 | Bud Whileyman


We have just completed our first round of STAAR tests and won’t have to start the next round until the 2
nd week in May.  The students enjoyed their Chick-Fil-A breakfast chicken biscuit before starting their tests.  Thanks to PTO for purchasing these treats.  I know the students are much more excited about the sandwiches than the test. 

This Friday we will have our 3rd nine week’s success assemblies.  We will follow the same schedule as in the past. The schedule is shown below. 

We have our 2nd grade choir program this Thursday at 1:15 pm and 7:00 pm.  We invite you to come out and support our 2nd grade choir directed by our dynamic choir teacher, Ms. Laura Brown. They always put on a good performance.
