- Economics Fair: Next Thursday, March 9th is our 3rd grade Economics Fair. Your child hopefully has been working on his/her 35 - 40 items to be sold at the fair. Only 5 more days to work on it at home! Your child will need to bring in his/her 35 - 40 items on Thursday morning. We will begin to set up for the fair right away in the morning around 7:55am. The fair starts at 8:10am. Parents are more than welcome to come and help out.
- Home Access Updated: Please, check this regularly to stay on top of your kiddos performance in class. I will forewarn you that second semester can be more challenging as we prepare these kiddos for STAAR and 4th grade. Expectations on graded work will increase. Home Access Link
- STAAR tests (early-May): They are just around the corner. Want to help prepare your child at home?
