April Testing Season
We have officially entered the testing season! We are excited for students to show what they know and what they have worked on all year. Although the STAAR test is not the end all be all, we encourage our students to do their very best on them! This is a great opportunity for them to practice the skills their teachers have taught them. It is always great when students can get a good night's sleep and can be focused on the day ahead.
Money can be added to student accounts at MySchoolBucks
Lunch Accounts and Balances
Letters will be going home with progress reports and reports cards for students with an negative lunch balance.
Swings have arrived!
Our swings made their way onto our recess area last week and are ready to be used! We are grateful for all of the support that parents and our awesome PTO group have provided us with. This is a great move in the right direction for developing this area.
Grass and drainage support will be coming soon!

The JNCISD Transportation Department has communicated new Bus Behavior Expectations and Consequences. They can be found on our district website or by clicking here.
If your student is a bus rider, please continue to remind them of their behavior while on the bus. We want to keep everyone safe. Behavior concerns on the bus are reported back to student's home campus and consequences will be given. First offenses result in a 5 day bus suspension.
