It was a packed house for each of our lunch periods yesterday at our VES Cookout!! We had to set up extra tables to handle all the parents, grandparents and other family members who came to eat with their student! It is great to see so many of our parents on our campus and enjoying time with their student. The smiles on our students' faces are always bigger when their family spends time with them at school, and yesterday there were ear-to-ear grins everywhere!!

Starting next week, on April 10, we will have one STAAR Test day a week for three consecutive weeks (April 16, April 24). Check out the information below and the helpful tips to make sure your student has the opportunity to do their very best on those testing days.
