Howdy, Tiger Families! 

April is in full swing, and our campus is buzzing with learning and growth! Our students are continuing to work hard, stay focused, and support one another each day. This time of year always brings a strong sense of determination, and we are so proud of the effort our Tigers are showing. Thank you for your continued encouragement at home, it truly makes a difference!

• April 6 @ 8:30 a.m.

• April 15 @ 3:45 p.m.

As a reminder, Senate Bill 9 requires all Texas public schools to instruct students on the prevention of child abuse, family violence, dating violence, and sex trafficking. However, it also requires parental consent for a student to participate in these SHAC-recommended and board-approved lessons. Students without parental/guardian consent will not receive the instruction. The consent forms will be sent to parents via Actionaly.

🐯 This week’s tip: Testing Confidence

Testing season can bring a mix of emotions. Help your child feel prepared by encouraging good sleep, a healthy breakfast, and positive self-talk. Remind them that tests are just one way to show what they know. Phrases like, “Just do your best,” and “I’m proud of how hard you’ve worked,” can go a long way in building confidence.
