THANK YOU for an incredible Open House and for showcasing your children and their learning in such creative ways! We heard countless parents brag on the work, displays, schools, and PEOPLE in the building. There were many smiles and LOTS of pictures with happy and proud famiLEEs! The best part was having alumni CHOOSE to come back, even when they don't have a siblings still in our building. You all make a world of difference in the lives of children and we are truly grateful for YOU!!
THANK YOU for pumping up our Fun Run this first week and for encouraging the fundraising and participation with your learners. Our success is because of YOU.
Have a wonderful Spring Break! Be safe as you make memories with your loved ones and friends.
DID YOU KNOW
- there is a recommendation for a new Asst. Supt. for Curriculum and Instruction? Town Center Principal, Dr. Angie Applegate, will be going to the CISD School Board, and if approved, she will start her new position on April 2.
- we will clean out the refrigerator tomorrow at 1:30? Please have your items out of there so they don't spoil while we are off.
- your technology is supposed to be locked in your storage closets over a break? Please roll them in there and plug them in so your devices are charged when you return.
- we have a tour after our Spirit Rally tomorrow? You may recognize one of the participants.
- Karli will finish out the year in Blue 2? We are ecstatic that our learners will have her helping them grow into third graders! CONGRATS, Karli!
- that CISD has a calendar of upcoming Professional Learning Events for summer and next year? Take a look here. We are starting to add these to the campus calendar for you, as well.
Please be patient with our front office when we return from Spring Break. In addition to the number of families they will continue to enroll, they will also be registering new Kindergartners through the end of March (and we haven't filled Viana's place, yet).
Please give the front office a 24 hour turn around on color print copies (for now). We can speed up the process when we are fully staffed. Until further notice, the laminator is offline. It needs to be serviced.
Please do NOT text Deepa or Shanna when you are going to be absent or need a sub after school hours. Please text Chantel and after hearing from Chantel, you will be advised to put your absence in Smart Find on your own. Deepa and Shanna are hourly employees and should not be getting texts outside of the 7:00-3:30 day. HR has been very clear on this, so we thank you for your cooperation with this matter.
Report cards will go home the Friday we return from Spring Break. Please have your grades in the system by 8:00 on Tuesday, March 20th. Thank you!
PTO MEETING
Please have learners ready to present on Tuesday night's meeting.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
In light of recent events, Mr. Hunt has requested that ALL STAFF review the CISD updated Emergency Procedure Plan. He requested this be done by all, immediately. Thank you for your cooperation.
CIP REVIEW
Please review our Campus Improvement Plan with your house. We request that you input any formative review evidence in the October and February columns by Wednesday, March 21.
BWW NIGHT
Thank you, Green and Purple Houses for attending BWW on Wednesday night. Let's see if we can pump our famiLEEs up to attend so that we earn money for the school.
FUN RUN
Please remember we will have an adjusted schedule for the Fun Run on Friday. Please look at the FUN RUN SCHEDULE tab on the Master Schedule document. Please share this sign up with your parents to help volunteer for the Fun Run day.
SCHOOL SUPPLIES
It is important that we revisit our school supply lists for PTO for next year so that PTO can secure the best pricing from EPI. Please review, as a grade level, and make any adjustments. Once your adjustments are made, change the date on your tab to "Your Grade 2018-2019" so we know you are done. PLEASE do not increase items without taking other items off and also visit lists that are already completed to make sure you are not duplicating house supplies. The total should be as close to $50 as you can get it. Please have this done by March 23. Thank you to some of the grades that already got this done and to Art for updating before the deadline!
DADS CLUB CAMP IN
Please share this flier and sign up with your parents so that Dad's Club can plan accordingly for their event. The deadline to register is March 21.
CISD FOCUSED WALKTHROUGH
This week we will continue to give feedback on Domain 2 Dimension 5: Monitor and Adjust. We will be looking for evidence of input from learners, how you adjust instruction and activities to maintain learner engagement, pacing of your lesson, how you check for understanding along the way, and how you adjust to meet the varying needs of your learners throughout the lesson.
ESL STRATEGY OF THE WEEK:
Consult a Fellow Writer
For whatever part of the process you’re in, if you feel stuck you can consult with another writer who may be able to get you jump-started. Discuss what you think you might write about, the challenges you’re having, or how you think it might go. Listen to yourself as you talk. Once you feel like you said aloud what you want to say on the page, go back to your writing. (Taken from The Writing Strategies Book by Serravallo)
LEE LIFE PRINCIPLE:
Fortitude- strength of mind that enables a person to encounter danger or bear pain or adversity with courage.
LESSON IN LEADERSHIP:
If someone in the class wins a game or does something well, we will congratulate that person. If you win or do well at something, do not brag. When you lose, do not show anger.
LEE QUOTE OF THE WEEK:
"He who knows others is wise. He who knows himself is enlightened." -Lau Tzu
