Cheers to Ms. Elsi!

We are both excited and a bit sad to announce that Elsi Ventura, our beloved custodian and friend to all students, will be retiring this January after a long tenure with HISD. Her final day will be January 7th, when we return from the holiday break. Ms. Elsi has dedicated herself to our school community since our first year of inception and has always greeted everyone with a smile. To show our gratitude, we will celebrate her with well wishes and a small gift. Students, teachers and staff will have a Clap Out for Ms. Elsi on January 7th at 2 PM:

  • 1st floor: by classrooms
  • 2nd floor: in cafeteria
  • 3rd floor: in gym

Thank you to everyone who organized, wrote cards and/or contributed donations and gifts. She will truly appreciate all of your kinds words and generosity!

In addition, the PTO is providing a cake and gift card to her.

Used Uniforms

The change of seasons is finally here. Time to clear your wardrobe and donate your children' outgrown uniforms! Now we have clear bins designated for used uniforms in the parent room (the room left to the front desk). Please drop off your gently used uniforms to the clear bin. Parent volunteers will sort and organize them periodically. 

Jackets/sweatshirts that are dress code compliant are especially welcome. 

Please check the updated dress code policies for references

 Thank you!
