    ANNOUNCEMENTS

    • McCormick Family,

      This is going to be a busy week! We will be conducting benchmark testing for all 3 grade levels. We would like to have have no early checkouts while your child is testing. Testing will be begin at 8:30 am and should end by 1:30 pm. 

      Here is the testing schedule:

      • Monday: 6th/7th Grade Math
      • Tuesday: 6th/7th Grade Reading and Algebra
      • Wednesday: 8th Grade Science
      • Thursday: 8th Grade Social Studies

      This Friday we will have Tiger Day. Students will be able to take part in activities throughout the campus. Tiger Day will be from 1:45-3:30. If you are planning to check out your child early on this day, please notify the front office prior to arriving. This will help us find your child quicker. Any student that received a referral last week or this week will not be able to attend Tiger Day.

      Please take a moment to review our policy for students riding home on a bus with another student:

      • A note is needed from both parties. The student that is going home with a friend AND a note from the friend's parent.
      • Both notes must have a parent signature and a phone number. The campus will contact both parties.
      • Notes can be provided ahead of time for verification.
      • Students will not be allowed to go home with their friend on the bus if we have not had verbal confirmation from both parties.

        If you are unable to receive phone calls at work, please email Cassie.Vela@hayscisd.net (front office receptionist) and/or myself James.Cruz@hayscisd.net. You can also text me at 512-698-7007.

      I appreciate everyone’s understanding with this policy. Please let me know if you have any questions, I will be happy to assist you.
