WINTER BREAK IS HERE!
The spring semester is going to feel a lot different with STAAR being later in the year, except 4th grade writing, and us not getting out until the second week of June. We are all going to need the stamina to keep going in these crazy times! Take time to rest and relax over break.
Dr. Lopez in his speech to principals yesterday said 'Let 2021 be the year of hope'. I really like the saying, it encompasses so much and it might be my new hashtag #2021yearofhope.
One thing I feel is important at the middle of the year and at the end of the year is to get a sense of where we are as a school community, what's going well and what can we make better.
If you've been at Park Crest you've seen the survey before, it's not long and completely anonymous. I would appreciate it if everyone could take the time to fill it out (link below).
