Hello Longhorn Families!

Fiesta is in the air, and we hope your weekend is filled with vibrant colors, joyful celebrations, and some much-needed rest! 🌺🎉

This school year has been nothing short of amazing, and it’s all thanks to your continued support and partnership. We are so grateful you’ve chosen to be part of the Longhorn family!

As we approach the end of the year, there’s still so much fun to be had! Make sure your scholar is present and soaking in every exciting moment. One highlight you won't want to miss is our Fiesta Float Parade on April 30th!

• K–2nd grade families may begin checking in at 1:00 PM
• 3rd–5th grade families may begin checking in at 2:00 PM

Don’t forget to bring your lawn chairs, snacks, and festive spirit to sit back and enjoy the fun with us!

Remember—school is the place to be right now! It’s also the perfect time to re-register and secure your scholar’s seat for the upcoming school year. Let’s keep the momentum going strong together.

Wishing you a colorful, cheerful, and restful weekend—Viva Fiesta, Longhorns! 🎊🐮

KINDER - 2ND 1:30P-2P
3RD - 5TH 2:30P-3P

Our little Longhorns were able to watch our 2025 Senior Longhorns celebrated their college signing day! We even had one of our own 1st graders draw a picture of how this was her best day at school! The dream to going to college is real and we encourage our little Longhorns until they become our big Longhorns, ready to graduate!

IF YOU ARE PICKING UP YOUR STUDENT EARLY, PLEASE KNOW THAT WE ARE TEACHING AND SOMETIMES MAY MISS MESSAGES FROM THE FRONT DESK. WE DO WORK TOGETHER TO GET OUR STUDENTS TO THE FRONT OFFICE, BUT IT MAY BE A BIT WITH ALL THE PREPARATION FOR STAAR TESTS OR TEACHING.

THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING AND SUPPORTING US. WE APPRECIATE YOUR HELP!!
