Message from the Principal

Welcome back from Spring Break! I hope our students had a well-deserved opportunity to rest, recharge, and return ready to finish the year strong. We are now officially in testing season—the most critical stretch of the school year.


Before the break, all students completed their RLA Mock STAAR exam, and our 8th graders also tackled their Science Mock STAAR. As we analyze the data, our teachers are working diligently to tailor their lessons and reviews to address student strengths and areas for growth. The first STAAR exam is quickly approaching on April 16, and RLA classes will begin focused review sessions this week, continuing until test day. Attendance is more important than ever—we need students in class daily to ensure they are fully prepared for success on these assessments.


Night Quest Begins This Week!


Starting this week, Night Quest will be available for students who need additional academic support or attendance recovery. These sessions will be held Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:30–6:00 PM. Invitations will be sent to students who are encouraged to attend, but all students are welcome.


8th Grade Social Studies Mock STAAR – Wednesday


This Wednesday, all 8th graders will take their Social Studies Mock STAAR exam. To minimize disruptions, the 8th-grade hallway will be closed for testing. Lunch shifts will be adjusted:

  • 6th grade will attend 1st lunch
  • 8th grade will attend 3rd lunch

6th and 7th graders will follow their regular schedule.


We’re excited to welcome everyone back and hear about their break! If there’s anything our counselors or admin team should be aware of, please don’t hesitate to reach out.


As always, thank you for your continued support—let’s make it a great week!


Your Proud Principal,

Mr. Raymond Garza

As we begin March, we are now seven 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.
