25 DAYS!!!!

It is August 1st--you know what that means?  School starts in 25 days!  I am super excited for the return of our teachers and staff.  Once they return and get their rooms set up, then we will be ready for the kids.  This is my favorite time of the year--so much hope surrounds our building--the hope of our kids to make new friends, make good grades, make their parents proud, and the hope of our teachers to make a difference in the lives of their students!  The next 25 days will fly by, and soon our halls will be filled with laughter and hope!  :o)

We are finally completely staffed.  Our new counselor is Alileah Hoke--she is coming to us from Manor ISD.  I know you are going to love her.  Also, I would like to welcome:

• Kalee Mallonee as our new 7th grade Accel teacher---Karen Nanninga accepted a position in Pflugerville as an instructional coach.
• Vanessa Brown as our new reading teacher--Lean Magnon accepted a position in Georgetown, closer to her home.
• Elizabeth Alarcon as our new Functional Communications Class teacher---we are adding a Functional Academic Class to our program, so we were able to hire an additional teacher.
• Rachelle McClellan as our new Assistant Choir Director--Patrick Mann accepted a position at Round Rock High School.

It is going to be a great year--we are Ranger Strong!
