Virtual book fair is open; additional teachers have added wishlists

Our book fair is open! You have one week to shop the Junior Library Guild's book fair, hosted by the Secondary Library. Find books designed for PreK through 12th grade, as well as wish lists to stock teachers' classrooms and libraries!

This is a new company for our school, and we are excited for parents to check it out and let us know what they think. JLG has only been available to librarians in the past.

Every purchase from the online book fair supports the growth of our secondary library. Books ship directly to your house and shipping is free with orders over $30.

To shop, click on 'Find Your Book Fair.' Enter our school’s Zip Code, 78664, and select "Spring into reading 2021!"
COVID-19 Safety Measures Reminder

While we're so grateful to have our staff mostly vaccinated (many just received the second round or will be soon), positive cases continue in Williamson County, and the school recently recorded two student cases.

We remind families to keep students home if COVID-19 is suspected and you're waiting test results. It's important for students and staff to continue to wear masks properly and to wash hands often (sanitizing when that's not possible).

Thank you for keeping our community strong and for helping to protect our more vulnerable populations!
