Warrior Wire

Greetings, Warrior Families!

Fall-like weather is finally starting to arrive, and similar to the 100 degree heat, the first grading period has ended, too. The first 9-weeks report cards will be available to you on October 20th. As we begin our second grading period, I hope you will engage in conversations with your student if they struggled academically with any classes, and encourage them to attend tutorial sessions. As we approach the holiday season, we often see a drop in grades and attendance. Please continue to communicate with your child's teachers if you have any concerns.

We are already a quarter of the way through the school year, and I am very proud of the effort our students and teachers give each day. We have many students advancing beyond the first round of UIL and TMEA Competitions at this time of year, and it is a true joy to see the students' hardwork continue to be recognized as they advance towards the state-level of competitions. I look forward to seeing everyone at upcoming school events.

Have a great week!

With Warrior Pride!
