Greetings Longhorn Families,

As we welcome the festive month of December, we want to take a moment to emphasize the importance of following our PBIS expectations of being Responsible, Accountable, Problem solvers. Students can show these qualities in many ways. A few items we could use your support with are maintaining academic integrity and responsible decision making at school. With the advancement in technology it is imperative that we talk to our students about upholding honesty in their academic work, respecting their peers by not calling out in class this helps create a positive and productive learning atmosphere.

December's resiliency skill: Empathy. Empathy involves understanding the thoughts, feelings, and actions of others. To support this at home, please refer to the attached Empathy Parent Guide for ways to discuss this important skill with your child

FAST PM 2

Beginning Monday , we will begin FAST PM 2 assessments on Monday, December 9th. It is crucial that students are present for the three weeks we are in school during December to ensure we can assess them without delay.
