The Prowler

Teachers, Staff, Parents, and Students,

This week will mark the end of the third six weeks as well as the end of our first semester of the 2022-2023 school year. As we reflect on the events that took place this first semester, the good, the bad, and the challenges...let's think about the steps we will take to ensure the best outcomes that will positively impact our students' academic success. This is the busiest time of the year for everyone as we begin our Spring tutorials, Saturday Academies, and all the preparations for the upcoming STAAR tests. Let's stay focused on our improvement efforts as we continue moving forward toward being recognized as an "A" campus.

5th grade students participated in Braille Awareness activities. Students learned about the teenager who invented Braille, represented their names and solved riddles using Braille code, and practiced reading tactile Braille. Students also received their names in tactile Braille.

“If you have kids of your own, think about how much you appreciate their teachers who go the extra mile...who love them like their own. You can be that special teacher for all your students. You're not just making a difference for kids; but for a lot of parents too!" @SteeleThoughts

"If adults want to pursue and maintain high expectations of students, while still building a positive and trusting relationship, the ONLY way to do so is by being genuine and empathetic during every interaction. Find small ways to connect and relate." @messier_steve
