Safety is always our first priority.

• Please do not ask your child to walk through traffic to get into your vehicle.
• Please use the crosswalk between Knox and Wilkerson to cross over to the neighborhood across the street. Crossing at Wilkerson's carline entrance is not safe.
• Please do not park across the street and walk over to get your child.

Thursday, October 10 was a very busy, fun day. Thank you to everyone who came out to enjoy the Fall Festival.

Referral Requests for Gifted and Talented Testing

Referral requests are now open for the Conroe Independent School District Gifted and Talented program. Although the testing will not take place until late January, referral requests are accepted at this time. Referral requests can be made by the parents and/or campus staff. If you are interested in referring your child, you may want to discuss this with your child’s teacher. Referrals will be accepted October 1- December 19, 2024. You may request a referral form from the front office or the Assistant Principal. You can also find the referral form and other GT information on the CISD GT homepage.

Interim STAAR assessments will take place on campus in November. These are not taken for a grade; they are used for data purposes so teachers can analyze and alter their instruction. The dates are listed below. The grade level testing each day will shut down and test in the morning. We will create a secure testing environment like STAAR. The grade level not testing will run a regular schedule. We will be a closed campus those days, so parents will not be allowed to eat lunch with students.

November 7th - 5th math

November 8th - 6th math

November 11th - math makeups (no altered schedule)

November 13th - 6th ELA

November 14th - 5th ELA

November 15th - ELA makeups (no altered schedule)

Please save the date! We will have a signup to serve at a later date.
