π½οΈLunch Drop-offs: Our office staff has noticed an increase in parents dropping off lunch late into the lunch periods, resulting in leaving the students very little time to eat. If you plan to drop-off lunch for your child, please make sure that it is at the school and on the appropriate lunch cart before the lunch period begins. Our bell schedule indicates lunch period times.

Stop the Bleed Training
Texas Education Code 38.030 requires school districts to offer Stop the Bleed training to students in grades 7-12 to equip them with lifesaving skills in emergency situations. This training empowers students to respond effectively to severe bleeding incidents, potentially saving lives before first responders arrive. By providing this training, we are ensuring that our students are prepared for emergencies and can contribute to a safer school environment. Click here to learn more about this valuable training. All students who are interested in the training need to complete the online portion and bring the certification to Nurse Hannah by March 31st.
