Week of April 22, 2024

SO SUPER EXCITED for STEAM NIGHT and our BIRTHDAY BASH tonight!  Thank you for being present at these two campus events and to everyone for all of their hard work and preparations!  PTO says the food trucks should be here at 4:00 if you want to beat the lines.  You did a great job with STAAR Reading and STAAR Science testing so far.  Only one more test next week.  



DID YOU KNOW:
  • STEAM Night will mean there are people all over the building?  Please lock the closed classrooms and make sure your open spaces have items put up that you do not what disturbed.  If you have time to read the blog before you go, please remind learners about expected behavior at STEAM Night and our Birthday Bash.

  • some of you are getting out of the practice of turning off your Vivitek Boards each day?  Please work on this practice for us. 

  • we are continuing to work with the maintenance department regarding HVAC needs? Thank you for keeping us informed of issues.  WE ARE TRYING TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITY to get action for you.


VOLUNTEER APPRECIATION BREAKFAST
Thank you Hannah B for helping to lead this important event.  If you need a reminder of what you signed up for, here is the Sign Up Genius.  There are still some items that need signed up for, so please take a look.  This event will take place in the Library Flex Space and Kinder will sing a song for our guests as they enjoy breakfast and leave with a sweet treat funded by Admin.
