Firefly Families,
What a fantastic week we’ve had! This was only our second full five-day week of the month, and we made every moment count. A huge shoutout to our incredible nurse and outclass team for organizing a successful and engaging STEAM Night—our students and families had an amazing time exploring hands-on science, technology, engineering, art and math activities.
We also kicked off the 100th Day of School a little early due to upcoming testing next week. It was such a joy to see our halls filled with creative shirts, festive attire and the most adorable "young elders" celebrating this milestone.
To top it all off, our PTO brought the Houston Museum of Natural Science’s Sky Dome and Cool Chemistry performance to our Fireflies! Our student volunteers had the opportunity to interact and watch science concepts come to life in a truly unforgettable experience.
Just a reminder: we will be closed for lunch on Monday, February 3, 2025, due to interim testing. Thank you for your understanding and support!
Filled with Firefly Pride,
Carla

News from Nurse Peluse
To ensure the health of our school community, please keep your child home if they are experiencing symptoms such as fever, vomiting, diarrhea, severe cough, or any other signs of illness. A fever is anything above 100 degrees.
Contact Nurse Peluse if you have any questions about when your student can return to school. If you are unsure whether to send your child to school, most likely the student should stay home to rest and recover.
Please consult your child's healthcare provider for specific guidance regarding their health concerns. With flu season being in full effect, we must prioritize the health of all students and staff.
