            We are jumping right back into our routine.  This week is the beginning of our 4th Six Weeks. 

Your student will be getting their new A/R goal for the 4th Six Weeks.  Please encourage your student to read daily.  When possible, please ask them to tell you about their book.

This Wednesday, January 8th, is Pearson Night at CiCi’s Pizza at the Rowlett location.  Please come and support our school.
