π½οΈLunch Drop-offs: Our office staff has noticed an increase in parents dropping off lunch late into the lunch periods, resulting in leaving the students very little time to eat. If you plan to drop-off lunch for your child, please make sure that it is at the school and on the appropriate lunch cart before the lunch period begins. Our bell schedule indicates lunch period times.
πLost & Found: Our Lost & Found is VERY FULL! If you've misplaced lunch boxes, water bottles, shirts, jackets, pants, shoes ... you name it, we might have it in Lost & Found. Please stop by and check for your items. Unclaimed items will be donated on March 25th!

Academic UIL
The Middle School Meet is tomorrow, 3/7! The competition is at Jones Middle School. Most times are the same as the last meet EXCEPT, due to the number of entries, we are going straight to finals at 8:00am in both 7th and 8th grade Prose so there will ONLY be ONE round. Same thing for 7th grade Poetry - straight to finals at 8:00am. 8th Grade Poetry will have prelims and then the top 6 advance to finals. All details at Hays UIL Website. Good luck to all competitors!
