Arnold MS Highlights Feb - March

Dear Arnold Families,

We hope everyone is having a great February! Our Buccaneers have been busy, and we are proud of the energy and dedication we continue to see across campus. Basketball season is in full force, with our student-athletes working hard in practices and games as they represent Arnold with pride. We appreciate the continued support from our families and fans—good luck to all of our Basketball Bucs as the season continues!

We are also excited to highlight several upcoming performing arts events. Our 6th Grade Choir Pop Show will take place on February 27, and our choir students are eager to showcase their talents in a fun and engaging performance. In addition, our Symphonic Band and Concert Winds will participate in Pre-UIL on February 27 and 28. These students have been working diligently in preparation, and we are proud of the commitment and musicianship they continue to demonstrate.

As we move through the semester, expectations will remain high. Please continue to support your student by reminding them to dress for success, wear their ID badge daily, bring a fully charged Chromebook, and arrive to class on time. These daily habits help ensure a positive and productive learning environment for all.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership. We truly appreciate our Arnold families and look forward to the exciting events ahead. As always, please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Sara DiCaro, Director of Instruction

Welcome to the Counselors’ Corner! Each month, we’ll share helpful tips, resources, and updates to support our students’ academic, social, and emotional growth. Our goal is to partner with families and staff to ensure every student feels supported, encouraged, and ready to succeed. Be sure to check back here for important reminders, guidance activities, and ways we’re bringing out the best in our Buccaneers!

It’s that time of year again—time to start searching for any overdue library books!

Starting in January, overdue notices will begin heading out, so now is the perfect moment to help your student search high and low for any missing library books. Mrs. Taylor, our amazing librarian, is on campus every Wednesday, and the book return is open daily, making returns quick and easy.

Thank you for helping keep our library shelves full and teaching our students to be responsible book lovers. Happy hunting!

Accelerated Instruction (AI) tutorials began last week and are by invitation only.
Communication with tutoring dates has already been sent to parents by email. If your child was invited, please be sure to review that information carefully.

If you have any questions, please contact the main desk and ask for Ms. DiCaro or Ms. Eberhart at (281) 897-4700.

PBIS Rewards has a Family App that will give you some insight into how your child is doing with respect to our PBIS program. The Family App will run on most smart devices, including smartphones and tablets. You can find it in the iPhone/iPad App Store, Google Play, and the Amazon App Store. Just search for "PBIS Rewards Family."

Once you have installed the app, you can scan the QR Code below. You will have to confirm your relationship to STUDENT NAME by certifying that you are a parent or guardian. Once you have done this you will be able to see STUDENT NAME's progress with PBIS Rewards.

You can add more than one student to the app, even if they go to different schools, as long as the school is using PBIS Rewards.

We encourage you to talk with your student about what they must do to be successful with PBIS Rewards and to encourage them when you see them being successful.
