Wrangler Weekly
Week of January 26, 2025
Message from Mrs. Bratton, principal
One more week and then goodbye to January!
There is a buzz on campus -- all competition seasons are revving up: we have One Act Play who competed this afternoon, band is setting its sights on UIL Contest, and spring sports are right around the corner as are cheer and dance tryouts. While the Wranglers are pushing to excel in extra curricular events, our teachers are continuing to push for growth in our classrooms.
Our goal is to show growth in every student. Granted, no one excels in every area every year. However, the more we solidify each student's understanding and then mastery of the extensive topics in our full curriculum, the stronger steps we can take the next year to achieve even more growth. Some years the growth feels like we've scaled a mountain; other years it feels like just a few steps -- but if those steps are solid and those steps are secure and more confident... that too is growth.
So here's to growing some Wranglers in the coming months -- please help us get there by getting your Wrangler to school EVERY day and ensuring they get a good night's sleep EVERY night. (Tired brains don't grow at the same rate as rested ones.)
Reach out to your child's teacher if you have any academic concerns or your child's counselor if there's a wellness issue. We are here to help.
With Wrangler Pride,
Mrs. Bratton
