Happy Sunday PK-8 Coyotes!
We are glad you are here! We are heading into the last and most critical six weeks of this school year. Thank you for your continued involvement in your child's education. Our 3rd-8th grade coyotes continue with the next round of state testing this week. Our PK-2nd grade Coyote students begin their end of the year assessments to compare growth from the beginning of the year.
Science STAAR 2023-2024
STAAR testing continues this week for our 5th & 8th grade students for science. Parents, the best way to help is by ensuring that your child is at school on time, in class everyday, & that they attend tutoring if they have been recommended by their teacher. Our students & teachers have been preparing extremely hard to ensure students show academic growth
In case you have any questions regarding your child's progress, don't hesitate to reach out to your child's teacher for more information.

Student Attendance - When you miss a day, you miss alot.
We will continue to make daily contact with all families when a student is absent. As Texas law requires, a warning letter is sent to families when they have unexcused absences, are below 90% in attendance, or have extreme tardies. Please remember to submit your doctor's or parent note within 48 hours.
"Every child. Every day. Whatever it takes!"
