To help make the first days of school safe and smooth for everyone, only Pre-K and Kindergarten parents will be permitted to walk their child to class during the first two days of school.
Our youngest Tigers are just beginning their school journey, and this extra support helps them transition safely while allowing our staff to learn routines and ensure every child arrives where they need to be.
Thank you for your patience, understanding, and partnership as we work together to provide a safe, welcoming start for all of our students.
We can't wait to see everyone on Monday… Ready to ROAR! 💙💛
💙💛 WOW… WHAT AN INCREDIBLE MEET THE TEACHER EVENT! 🐯

☕ Scooter's Coffee kept the energy going.
🦔 We even had a special visit from the Texas Roadhouse Armadillo.
