A Message From Mrs. Speer A Message From Mrs. Speer

Attending school every day gives our students the strongest foundation for success! Our campus attendance goal is 96%, but last week our attendance was 93.8%. We need your help to bridge that gap and finish strong!


In Texas, public school funding is calculated using Average Daily Attendance (ADA), which measures the actual number of students physically present in school each day rather than overall enrollment. This state funding directly supports essential campus operations, teacher salaries, and safety measures, while also funding student enrichment opportunities like field trips and clubs.



Most importantly, when students aren't in school, they miss out on key learning experiences, building strong relationships, and having fun with their peers and teachers. Thank you for partnering with us to ensure your student is here and ready to learn every single day!
