Dear Longhorn School Families,

Welcome to the 2022 - 2023 school year!  I am excited to welcome you back to school. It is truly a blessing to continue as principal of this amazing school. I hope you are enjoying a wonderful summer. I also hope you are relaxed, recharged, and ready to start a new school year. I am honored that you are part of our amazing learning community. I welcome and value your positive energy and dedication to excellence in education, and I look forward to working with you and your children to ensure the success and well-being of all of our students. We will continue to focus on learning and accelerating student achievement. 

We have exciting news to share with you all! Office Depot has an awesome back-to-school program called Start Proud!. Start Proud! is a community investment program that benefits students, teachers, and parents of select public schools in select U.S. school districts.

As a Start Proud! school, each and every student at our school will receive a high-quality backpack filled with common elementary school student supplies. These supplies include (subject to minor changes): 2 Wired Notebooks, 4 Composition Workbooks, 4 Folders, #2 Pencils, Highlighters, Eraser Caps, Crayons, Markers, Colored Markers, Pourable Glue, Glue Sticks, Pencil Sharpener, Wood Ruler and Index Cards. Please do not purchase a backpack or these listed supplies!

The backpack filled with supplies for each child will also include a $20 Office Depot Gift Card; parents/guardians, you may shop for additional school supplies throughout the year, in-store or online!

Students will receive their backpacks and supplies on August 3, 2021. Office Depot will host a special and vibrant distribution at our school for our students, teachers, and staff.

Office Depot will be starting our students’ school year prepared, confident and proud. We could not be more thankful for their partnership and look forward to welcoming your child(ren) back for the 2022-2023 school year with Start Proud!

I encourage families to stay connected and informed by following our district website for important updates and information regarding our reopening plans.
