Attention Parents and Students:

This is the 1st week in the 5th Six Weeks; that means we are starting the next Six Weeks. Students are starting a new Six Weeks, and tardy numbers are restarting this week.

Also, if your child is missing multiple days of school, please call Ms. Christina Trevino to get information on how to make up hours if necessary, 956-748-1200. Students can lose credit if they have unexcused absences that can only be made up through making up hours during the Spring semester. Students will not be able to make up hours during the summer, so please stay informed on hours owed.

Teachers:

Update grades weekly to keep parents informed on their student's progress.
