We have several things to be excited about this week. The 5th and 6th grade campus now has an official name. The school board unanimously voted to name the school: Argyle Intermediate School. Teachers, parents, and community members recommended this name and then I presented it to the school board at Monday’s meeting. We can also celebrate the fact that the demolition crew began work on Wednesday morning. Demolition will be completed in approximately four weeks. At which time we should begin to see the school transform from a state of disarray to one where parents, teachers, and students can be excited to attend.

Parents, students, and teachers can all celebrate how well our students have done on the recent TAKS test. I know that this tradition of success will carry over to our new campus. Please continue to encourage your child to stay focused through the remainder of the school year.

The PTA will be meeting on Tuesday, April 29th at 8:15 AM, at the administration building to elect officers. I encourage you to not only attend this meeting but to join the PTA if you are not already a member.

Argyle Intermediate School will be having a “Meet the Staff Night” on May 29th, at 5:30 PM. We will meet at Hilltop Elementary in the cafeteria. The purpose of this meeting is to introduce the staff for next year, give an update on construction, and have a short question and answer session. We will have a traditional “Open House” at Argyle Intermediate once construction is completed and before the start of the school year.

Registration packets and a parent letter will be sent home with the 5th graders after all of the TAKS Test are completed. The 4th graders have already completed their registration packets.
