PRINCIPALLY SPEAKING

Congratulations to our Falcons for surviving the STAAR.

We are so proud of our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders who worked so very hard and took advantage of this opportunity to show off. Our teachers at every grade level have invested in these students and contributed to their success. Thank you to our STAAR volunteers who assisted during the administration. We are so appreciative of your time and effort. Thank you for helping us do our best.
