Welcome to this week's edition of The Nest News! This week was full of accomplishments and celebrations!
We wrapped up our TELPAS testing and took time to honor the dedication of our amazing diagnostician, Mrs. Wells, during Texas Educational Diagnostician's Week. We also had a blast participating in fun theme days to celebrate Read Across America Week. The week ended on a high note with House Day, exciting pep rallies, and an early dismissal today. Now, with Spring Break just beginning, we're all looking forward to a well-deserved week off to relax and recharge. It's been a week full of hard work, joy, and community spirit!
Please continue to read for upcoming events and news.

It's time to put your gently worn, used, or new shoes to good use! We're collecting shoes for those in need, and we're accepting both kids' and adults' shoes. Whether they're sneakers, sandals, boots, or dress shoes, every pair makes a difference.

Our 4th graders will participate in 7 days of swimming instruction as part of the LCISD PE curriculum, beginning March 17.

Girls are required to wear a one-piece swimsuit and those individuals with long hair must wear their hair up. No t-shirts, or cut-offs are allowed - swimsuits only. No electronics, jewelry, sprays, lotions, or gels are allowed. Please contact your child's teacher with any questions. |
