Our 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade Dillos will take the STAAR Math test this Wednesday, April 24th. And the make-up will be Thursday, April 25th.

Parents, caregivers, visitors, and volunteers are not allowed on campus during school hours. Here’s a short list of STAAR-ready reminders: get a good night’s sleep, have a healthy breakfast, arrive at school on time, and bring healthy snacks and a book! Go Dillos!

The tents may have been retired and the food a delicious memory, but it’s not too late to whoop it up with a Hoopla Buy-in Party. There is something for everyone! Choose a grade-level party like Skating into 1st Grade, or Margaritas & Tennis (the combo you didn’t know about but now you need) for the parents, or a fun (and bittersweet) send-off for 5th grade moms. Check them all out HERE.

These offers are open to everyone, and they’re a great opportunity to get to know our community! In the famous words of Wayne and Garth: PARTY ON!
