Good evening, Coyotes!

Now that STAAR testing has wrapped up, I want to take a moment to share how incredibly proud we are of our students. They have worked hard all year, building skills, growing in confidence, and showing perseverance every step of the way. It has been inspiring to see their dedication and the way they gave their best during testing.

While STAAR is just one snapshot of learning, it also reflects the growth our students have made throughout the year. We are so proud of their effort, focus, and resilience.

It’s hard to believe we are already nearing the end of the school year. These final weeks are always special as we reflect on all that has been accomplished and continue making the most of every learning moment.

Thank you for your continued support at home. It truly makes a difference.

We appreciate you, are proud to be part of such an amazing community, and look forward to seeing you tomorrow!

Best,

Briana Flores
