Week of October 30, 2023

Thank you for those of you that participated in our third annual Trunk or Treat!  I know there are going to be lots of memories from this fun event. I also appreciate all of your participation during Red Ribbon Week. You always make this such an amazing week. The pictures on Twitter are WONDERFUL! Have a fabulous fall weekend and enjoy all the things that you LOVE!


DID YOU KNOW: 
  • your Vivatek boards do not turn off on their own and the still image will burn on the screen if left on repeatedly? Please remember to power these off before leaving each day. 
  • the district will be sending out links to complete the fall Panorama Survey?  Info to come from CISD soon.
  • our leaders accepted a trophy for Samira and our LEEdership Council for their service to the community?  Thank you, Samira, for guiding this group of role models.  Our new fifth grade leaders are pictured below and represented us well at their training at Wilson Elementary.


BOOK CHARACTER PARADE
We will start the parade at 8:00AM on Tuesday.  Please exit out the PE doors closest to the 3-5 playground and come in through the cafeteria doors.  We will walk one lap of the track.  Parents, and learners who do not want to participate, are welcome to cheer on the parade inside the track.  Since guests are not coming in the building, they do not need to sign in.



STRESS AWARENESS DAY
Join your counselors on Wednesday.  Dress comfortably.



COLLEGE SHIRT DAY
Can't wait to see everyone sporting their college gear on Wednesday!



SCHOOL PICTURES
Please remind families that Friday is picture day.  

We will start school pictures immediately following morning broadcast on Friday at 8:00 AM.  We will follow the Specials schedule so we will start with Kinder Purple, followed by 1st Purple, 2nd Purple, etc. Once Purple House is done we will go to Yellow-> Red -> Green -> Blue.  Pictures will take place on the stage and teachers can take their pictures with their classes or before school.  Specials and support staff, please get your pictures made between 7:40 AM and 8:00 AM.  Specials Designers, we "might" need you to wait with your classes in the cafe if they are not done by their Specials time.  Please help us by getting kids to the cafeteria, promptly when the volunteer gets you.  Also, please help by passing out the learner ID cards before they get to the photographer.  Thank you for your flexibility on this day and for excusing the interruption to your teaching and lunch routines.
