❄️🐎 Thank You, Cracker Trail Team! 🐎❄️
A huge thank you to our Safety Patrols and staff members who braved the cold mornings to help get our Mustangs safely unloaded and into school. Our patrols were even given the option to go inside several times a day—but they chose to tough it out and continue serving others.
We also appreciate Deputy Acuna for braving the cold alongside our team. Your dedication, teamwork, and care for our students do not go unnoticed. Thank you for keeping our Mustangs safe! 💙

❄️ Weather Update for Monday Morning ❄️
Good morning, Mustang families! 🐎
Due to very cold temperatures expected tomorrow morning (Monday, February 2, 2026), some of our classrooms may feel cooler than usual when students first arrive. Our heating systems may need a little extra time to warm up after the overnight cold.
Please have students wear or bring a jacket or sweater, especially for the start of the school day. Classrooms should become more comfortable as the morning goes on.
Our District Facilities and Energy Management teams will continue to monitor conditions throughout the day.
Thank you for your understanding and for helping keep our Mustangs comfortable and ready to learn! 💙
