Message from the Principal
Welcome to Week 5.1!
We are officially kicking off the fifth six-week period! It’s hard to believe how quickly the school year is flying by—only two report cards remain before summer break. In the meantime, we are fully engaged in academics and gearing up for upcoming district assessments. During the first week of March, all students will take the RLA Mock STAAR assessment, a key indicator of their progress and readiness for the state test. This data will be essential in guiding our efforts to ensure every student is prepared for success.
As we approach Spring Break, it’s natural for students to feel excited and restless. This time of year often brings an increase in misbehavior, so we appreciate your support in reinforcing the importance of following school expectations. Our priority remains fostering a productive learning environment where students can thrive. Your partnership in encouraging positive behavior at home makes a significant impact, and we appreciate all that you do.
Cell Phones
As we near the end of February, we are now six months into our No Cell Phone policy. Please remember that any confiscated phone will result in a $15 fee. We have made multiple announcements and continue to provide daily reminders about this rule.
We ask for your support in reinforcing this policy at home by reminding your child of the importance of minimizing distractions to create an environment that maximizes student learning and engagement.
Restrooms
To help keep students in class and limit unnecessary time in hallways, we will be implementing Securely, an e-Hall pass monitoring system. This platform will allow us to:
✅ Monitor restroom usage and track patterns of frequent hall passes.
✅ Limit the number of students in hallways at any given time.
✅ Encourage students to manage their time responsibly and make positive choices.
Our top priority is ensuring your child's safety and academic success. Every minute out of class is missed instruction, and our goal is to help students develop self-discipline while maintaining a focused learning environment.
Testing
Please review the testing calendar in the flyer below to stay informed about important test dates for your child. Attendance is crucial during these assessments, and we want all families to be aware of dates that will impact student grades and academic progress.
Home Access Center
Report cards are available on Home Access Center. If you need help logging into your account, please email our registrar and she will be able to help you reset your login information.
