Dear Parents, Coffee with the Principal that was scheduled for this Friday morning will be moved to a date in May for our final meeting of the year. With this week being the close of a STAAR testing week, Administrators will be closing out this year’s STAAR administration and we are seeing scheduling conflicts at the originally planned time. We apologize for any inconvenience and for a late notice, but we look forward to those that can join us next month.
Check out the latest edition of Dialogue with Diana, the monthly catch-up with Superintendent Diana Sayavedra.
