Message from the Principal
Good afternoon, parents!
I hope you and your families had a chance to enjoy the beautiful weather this week. On campus, we are full steam ahead with STAAR reviews, and I’m loving the energy and engagement I’m seeing from our students as they prepare for their upcoming exams!
Mock Results & STAAR Testing
Please review our testing schedule below—our first STAAR exam is RLA on April 16. It’s important that students take advantage of every opportunity to prepare. We recently mailed home the results of your child’s Mock STAAR exams. These include your child’s score along with the performance cut scores for the actual STAAR test. This information will help you gauge their current level of readiness. If you have questions about your child’s progress, please don’t hesitate to reach out directly to their teacher.
E-Hall Pass Rollout
Some classes have begun piloting our new E-Hall Pass system. This tool helps us manage hallway traffic and monitor restroom usage, ensuring a more structured and safe environment. This grading period will serve as a trial run, allowing us to refine the system before a full launch next school year.
End of Grading Period
This is the final week of the grading period. Please take a moment to review your child’s grades and partner with them to finish strong. A successful end to this grading period sets the tone for a strong finish to the school year.
Thank You!
As always, thank you for your continued support. Let’s make it a great week, Cuda families!
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.
