Also on Thursday, we will induct new members into the Elementary and Jr. Beta Club at 6:00 p.m. in the gym. Inductees and members should have received a letter with information regarding the event. Please contact Mrs. Nobles or Ms. Nelson if you have any questions.
On Friday, October 3rd we will begin our “Mustang Fast Break”. Students who have met our weekly iReady goals (80% proficiency on at least two lessons) and met our weekly Mustang Excellence Expectations (no bus or office referrals) may participate. Students will also be able to purchase snacks during that time.
We appreciate your support as we continue to help students grow and achieve excellence and mastery in learning and life. Please don’t hesitate to contact our office if you have any questions. We hope you have a wonderful week!
