MARCH 2025

FROM YOUR PRINCIPAL
Dear Parents and Guardians,
MARCH IS HERE! It's so hard to believe that we are already looking at Spring Break (Next Week), getting ready for our Mock STAAR Testing (This week), and are in the midst of Track Season!
A few reminders! We work hard in the safety aspects of our school. During the spring storm season, we monitor the weather and have a clear communication process when we know weather is coming. We communicate multiple ways to make sure that we are prioritizing the safety or our students and staff.
We are VERY excited about Texas Public Schools Week this week! Be looking for some pictures of what great things we have accomplished this year! We truly appreciate the opportunity to get to work with you and partner in the education of your child.
It's a Great Time to be a Junior High Panther!
Kindest Regards,
Geoff Gregory
