Superintendent's Message

District

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week. Our staff, like staffs all across the state of Texas, have done an amazing job this year while navigating a minefield of uncertainty that we have never experienced before. Please take a moment and thank our teachers for their commitment to our students and district. Thank you, teachers!

Friday was School Principal Recognition Day. We are blessed to have a tremendous group of campus leaders that work tirelessly for our students and staff. If you haven’t had the chance please let them how much you appreciate the work they do on a daily basis.

Student of the Week

Congratulations to our Student of the Week, 3rd grader Mary Thomas. She is the daughter of Michael and Sarah Thomas. Mary's favorite subject is art and music and when she graduates from school she hopes to become an electrical engineer. A school activity that Mary is involved in is 3rd-Grade Leadership Academy. A hobby that she enjoys is music. Mary used to play the ukulele but right now she plays the guitar.

The Eaglettes will face North Lamar in the area round starting Friday night at 7 at Texas A&M Commerce. Great job ladies!
