January 2012 Proclaimed School Board Recognition Month
January 2012 is School Board Recognition Month—a great time to focus on the crucial role an elected board of trustees plays in our communities and schools. Plan now to show your school board members you appreciate their dedication and hard work. They are extraordinary people who voluntarily tackle the enormous job of governing school districts. Their actions and decisions affect the present and future lives of our children.
Recognizing board members for this commitment and sacrifice takes a combined effort on the part of all those they serve: administrators, school staff, students, and the community. Even though showing appreciation should be a year-round process, taking advantage of the designated School Board Recognition Month in January ensures that these important people receive some of the thanks they deserve.

Beginning in spring 2012, the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR ™) will replace the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS).

Old Elementary School/Student Photos Needed
We are in the process of searching for old photos depicting elementary students, classrooms, or Indian mascots from years gone by. These can be actual photos of Grand Saline students or photos in general of scenes that would remind us of elementary children or activities over the past decades.
Photos may be sent to the elementary office or the superintendent’s office. If you would like to have your photo back please make sure your name and contact information are on the back.
The structure of the new Elementary School is
beginning to take shape.
