Dear Parent or Guardian:
Texas law now requires school districts to distribute information to parents and guardians about the safe storage of firearms. The attached information will help you learn about options for, as well as how to talk to your child and others about, the safe storage of firearms.
It is unlawful to store, transport, or abandon an unsecured firearm in a place where children are likely to be and can obtain access to the firearm. Under Texas Penal Code 46.13, a person commits the offense of making a firearm accessible to a child if the child gains access to a readily dischargeable firearm, and the person with criminal negligence:
• Failed to secure the firearm; or
• Left the firearm in a place to which the person knew or should have known the child would gain access
The penalty for allowing a child access to a firearm can range from a Class C misdemeanor (punishable by a $500 fine) to a Class A misdemeanor (punishable by a $4000 fine, a year in jail, or a combination of the two).
Texas exempts the purchase of firearm safety equipment from Texas Sales and Use Tax.
Remember, a gun should be stored unloaded in a safe or locked container, with ammunition stored elsewhere. You can learn more and find additional resources from the Texas Department of Public Safety at https://safegunstoragetexas.com.

ACT UPDATE:
Good news! Your scores from the Spring 2026 school-day ACT online test are once again available in MyACT.
ACT had previously removed scores from online testing this spring in MyACT. After a rescoring process to ensure all scores are fair and reliable, your Composite score and section scores have either stayed the same or have slightly increased based on your individual performance. Your scores are not lower than what was previously available in your MyACT account.
We have shared reissued scores with your school. In addition, if you had ACT share your results with colleges or scholarship agencies, ACT is providing revised scores to each organization you identified. If you sent your scores outside of the ACT process, you should resend your updated scores (if affected) so that those institutions have the most up-to-date information.
If you have questions, please submit an online inquiry form.
Be assured that student Composite scores and section scores either remained the same OR went up slightly based on individual performance. No scores are lower than what was previously released.

Wrapping up our Lady Cats Basketball Fundamentals Camp. The future is bright for these girls! 🏀🖤🤍😼💪
Wow wow wow!! These students have gone above and beyond this year in CDE’s, LDE’s and more. We attended the Area 2 Convention Monday through Wednesday this week, where the students received awards, mingled with friends, and competed in speaking events. Furthermore, Hayden Kolster retired from his Area Officer position as the Secretary. We are extremely proud of everyone’s efforts this year and are humbled by the opportunity to celebrate them! 🐾✨
One final performance of the The Miracle Worker by William Gibson is officially in the books. ❤️🎭
Thank you to our community for supporting the Water Valley One Act Play program throughout this incredible season. We are so proud of these students, their hard work, dedication, and the memories made along the way.
