5th Graders will be taking TAKS April 6 (MATH) and April 7 (READING)!
Please encourage your child to get extra rest on Monday and Tuesday night. 5th graders must pass the MATH TAKS and the READING TAKS to go to 6th grade. Students are encouraged to do their very best on each of these tests. Students need to work carefully, check their work, read, read, and reread! These exams are not timed. Students will have all of the time they need to complete the exam even if they need to stay after school. Parents of students who are working after 3:50 will get a phone call from the school.
We should get the results for these exams two to three weeks after the exam.

6th Graders will be taking TAKS April 27 (MATH) and April 28 (READING)!

5th Graders will be taking TAKS SCIENCE April 29.
5th graders are working very hard to get ready for the SCIENCE TAKS. 5th graders continue to have a quiz every Thursday. Puzzles, which are a review for the quiz, are due each Thursday.

We appreciate all of the parental support in getting students to school on time, prepared, and ready to learn!

We had beautiful, fluffy snowflakes at our school on Tuesday,

February 23rd. The students were very excited to see snow

in our area of Texas. The snow did not last long, and we were

able to come to school the next day. We are glad that we did

not have to miss a day of school.
