From 3rd Grade:
Mark your calendars! Our 3rd grade field trip to the Frisco Sci-Tech Discovery Center will be April 5th.

Please ask your child if he or she needs headphones at school! It makes using technology a little easier when everyone can hear. 😊

Cafeteria expectations: It is a school-wide expectation that when the lights are off, our voices are off. Please help us with following these when you are eating with your child in the cafeteria
