Patriot Family Gazette 4/11/25

Patriot Families,

Next week we will begin our STAAR testing for grades 3-5. On Tuesday, April 15th, the campus will be closed to visitors for the Reading STAAR Test. The following week, April 22nd and April 24th we will be administering the 3rd-5th Grade Math STAAR and 5th Grade Science STAAR tests. On these days the campus will be closed to visitors as well. Thank you for all of the support for our Patriots as we have been working extremely hard all year in order to be successful on this test.

Don't forget we have a 4 day week next week as we will be closed on April 18th for Good Friday. Next year is just around the corner and it's time to order school supplies! Please see the flyer below for details. We are looking forward to another great week!

Thank you for partnering with us and we are blessed to serve,

Brett Shelby

- We cannot release kids after 2:45 due to dismissal procedures. If you have appointments, please make arrangements to pick up by this time.

- If you are dropping off before 7:15, please use the back loop. This area is staffed and students are directed to the cafe or gym. After 7:15, our front loop will be open.

We are pleased to announce that we are already hitting goals with our PTA enrollment! What a great way to start the year. Remember, it's not an obligation of time, it's a donation that can help our programming on our campus. Please use the link below to join as soon as possible.
