PRE EXCELLENCE ON DISPLAY’

PRE’s 3rd grade Gifted and Talented scholars proudly presented their educational game board designs at the Lancaster ISD State of the District Luncheon. Each game challenged players to strengthen their understanding of multiplication and division while making learning fun and interactive.

In addition, our two newly identified 3rd grade GT students led a hands-on helicopter design challenge, demonstrating creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving in action.

Our scholars represented PRE with pride and showcased the innovative learning happening in our classrooms every day.

Ms. Harris has dedicated 37 years to public education, including 20 years serving the students and families of Lancaster ISD. Currently a Pre-K teacher, she has faithfully impacted scholars across multiple grade levels throughout her career, including 5th, 3rd, 2nd, and 1st grade.

PRE K–2 Families — Our Scholars Are Growing!

Our recent MAP Middle-of-Year assessment results show exciting progress for our Kindergarten–2nd grade scholars in Reading and Math.

Since the beginning of the school year, more students are performing above the national average, and many of our scholars have met or exceeded their individual growth goals. This means students are making strong academic progress and building the skills they need for continued success.

This growth reflects the hard work of our scholars, the dedication of our teachers, and the support of our amazing PRE families.

Thank you for continuing to encourage reading, practicing math, and supporting learning at home. Together, we are helping our scholars reach their full potential.

WE are PRE!
