We are looking forward to a joyful December on campus with themed dress days, staff incentives, and student fields trips. In addition, your student has at least one summative assessment to take between now and the holiday break. Please be sure they are in school, on time, every day, to support their academic excellence and growth.
December Field Trips:
We are excited to end the semester with grade level field trips. All students meeting behavior expectations in the month of December will be invited, and it is expected that students do not have more than 1 unexcused absence starting December 4th until the day of the trip (December 20th). All trip fees include transportation, entrance to the location, and lunch. Students are expected to be in uniform to attend the field trip. If you pay for a trip and your student becomes ineligible, you will be reimbursed. Below are the trip locations for each grade level and the grade level chairs contact information. Your student will bring home a permission slip on Monday, December 4th that must be turned in on or before Friday, December 15th to attend the trip.

For any Aviator who has taken and failed or not taken a STAAR EOC exam (Algebra I, English I, Biology), retakes are mandatory. Remember, passage of all 5 STAAR EOC Exams before graduation is required to earn a High School diploma! Please ensure, if your Aviator has STAAR EOC Retakes, that they are on time, ready to engage in their exam(s) with a charged laptop, laptop charger, and a focused mindset!
