Message from Ms. Robertson
We are now into the month of February and itβs hard to believe we are officially past the halfway point of the school year. As we reflect on our strengths and weaknesses this year we will analyze and renew our goals for the remaining four months of the school year. Our students, parents, and staff continue to work together to ensure student success. We are a true educational community and are so fortunate to be in this together! The students are working hard and making strong gains in their learning. To the students, keep up the great work! Parents, your ongoing support of your childβs learning is vital to their success. Staff, I think I speak for everyone when I say thank you for all that you do on behalf of our students!
Your children are such a gift; every single one of them has unbounded potential. They are our Valentine's and they remind us of why we love what we do!

W.I.N. (What I need time)
One of our most important goals for our campus is to close achievement gaps, make sure that our students are performing on grade level and to provide challenging instruction . Part of our plan for academic success this year will include W.I.N. time. W.I.N. time is spent every day addressing each student's individual targeted instruction. Kudos to our teachers and staff for meeting each of our students' individual needs!

HB 114 Update: Important Changes In The Law Regarding Vaping, E-cigarettes
The 88th Texas Legislative session passed H.B. 114 and adds the following to the Texas Education Code:
...a student SHALL be removed from class and PLACED IN A DISCIPLINARY ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION PROGRAM... if the student: possess, uses, sells, gives, or delivers to another person an e-cigarette within 300 feet of school property...or while attending a school-sponsored or school related activity on or off school property.
With the passage of this new legislation the student code of conduct is updated to make vaping violations result in removal from campus and placement at a disciplinary alternative education program (DAEP) on the first offense. The legislation also clarifies that vaping at school sponsored events off of campus, including district vehicles, will result in a DAEP placement.
Parents, please discuss with your child both the negative effects of using a vape or e-cigarette and the consequences of possessing a vape or e-cigarette on campus or campus sponsored events.
Parents can find anti-vaping resources at the Texas Department of Health and Human Services.
