Principal s Message Hi Everybody! We saw so many sweet, excited students and parents at Open House. Thank you for taking part, and for being involved members of our school community! After a rest for Labor Day, we head into a solid six weeks of learning before the first quarter ends. During that time, we will gather detailed information about your student s abilities with our iready diagostics, to better guide their individual learning. We will present our School Improvement Plan to our School Advisory Council on Sept. 19 th. We will also send our donations and our hearts to Houston, where families have lost so much. Their ongoing struggles remind me to be grateful for every single thing: for professional and loving teachers, for bright and eager students, for caring and supportive parents, and for a beautiful 44- acre campus with solid facilities.
