Dear Families,

To ensure the safety of all students, our microwaves are now available for use during lunch for grades 5th through 8th only.

This change is a direct result of several safety incidents involving younger students who have accidentally burned food and other items in the microwaves. To prevent future incidents and ensure a safe and smooth lunch period for everyone, we have made the decision to limit microwave access.

Students in grades Kindergarten through 4th grade will need to bring a lunch that does not require heating.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we work to keep our students safe.

Saddle Up, It's Rodeo Day! 🀠 East Texas State Fair Roundup Day is Friday, Sept. 19

Howdy, families!

Get ready to kick off the excitement for the East Texas State Fair with Roundup Day on Friday, September 19, 2025. We are celebrating our community and the Fair's traditions by bringing a festive, Western spirit to our school.

What Is Roundup Day?
Roundup Day marks the opening day of the East Texas State Fair with a community-wide celebration. It's a fun opportunity for our students to show their school pride by dressing in Western-themed attire like cowboy boots, plaid shirts, jeans, and hats.

Please help your student get in the spirit by encouraging them to wear their best Western outfit on September 19!
