Principal's message

Parents and Guardians,

As we approach the upcoming STAAR testing season, our campus is working diligently to ensure every student is fully prepared and confident. These assessments are an important opportunity for students to demonstrate the knowledge and skills they have worked hard to develop throughout the year.

To support daily instruction and STAAR preparation activities, it is essential that all students bring their school-issued Chromebook fully charged each day, along with their charger. Many of our review lessons, practice activities, and instructional resources are delivered digitally. Having a charged device ensures that students can fully participate in these important learning opportunities without interruption.

We ask that you please help your child establish a routine of charging their Chromebook each evening and placing the charger in their backpack before coming to school. This simple step makes a significant difference in maintaining a smooth and productive learning environment.

Our teachers are providing targeted instruction, practice assessments, and individualized support to help students feel confident and prepared. With your partnership at home, we can ensure every student has the tools they need to succeed.

Thank you for your continued support and commitment to your child’s education. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the school.

-Mr. Lancaster
