Hello Cardinal Families,

I hope you all are enjoying your summer vacation! We are busy planning for the upcoming school year!

Some important information:

As a reminder STAAR results will officially be released in August after the state finalizes the cut scores. I will share more information when it becomes available.
You can access your students report card via your Parent Portal log in (https://lifeschool.net/enrollment/parent-portal), or you can contact the school office for a copy.
The campus will be closed for summer break beginning June 16 through July 9, and will reopen on July 10 from 7:00- 4:30, Monday-Thursday.

Mark your calendars for:

Wednesday, July 26 from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm for our annual Kickoff Meet and Greet at Oak Hill Splash Park,
Saturday, August 5, 8 am to noon for Orientation. More information will be shared as time gets closer!

Quickly approaching deadlines:

Order your school supplies by July 1 if using our prepackaged service through First Day School Supplies. See information below.

As always, we are here to serve. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need any assistance.

Sincerely,

Principal Villavaso
