TES COMMUNITY & FAMILY NEW!

• Attendance: Please help your child be at school on time each day, ready to learn. Every day counts in their success.

• Learning at Home: Take a few minutes each evening to ask your child about their day, read together, or review homework. Small moments make a big difference.

• Positive Behavior: Encourage your child to follow our P.A.C.K. expectations—being polite and prepared, paying attention to academics, cooperating with others, and showing kindness to all.

• Communication: Stay connected with us through newsletters, phone calls, emails, and campus events. We value your voice and partnership.

Together, we are ONE VISION. ONE VOICE. ONE PACK. With your support, we know this school year will be full of growth, joy, and success for our scholars!

We need you help with traffic safety. All car riders scholars should be dropped off in the mornings and picked up in the afternoon in the car rider line in Lane B; that is on the Wellington Street side of the building. Please help us and the SISD Police Officers on campus keep our scholars safe.

Necesitamos su ayuda con la seguridad vial. Todos los estudiantes que viajan en automóvil deben ser dejados por la mañana y recogidos por la tarde en la fila para estudiantes en el carril B, que está al lado de la calle Wellington del edificio. Por favor, ayúdennos a nosotros y a los oficiales de policía del SISD en el campus a mantener la seguridad de nuestros estudiantes.

Please make sure your scholars have headphones at school for their use. In addition to having our beginning of the year assessments beginning this week, many of our computer programs will need headphones so your scholars can focus on their program and not be distracted by others. Thank you for your help with this!

"Beginning-of-the-Year testing begins this week for Pre-K through 5th grade. Please ensure your scholar gets a good night’s rest and eats a healthy breakfast so they can do their best work. Thank you for your continued support!"

Your continued support is needed with following the established safety protocols set on campus to ensure the safety of all scholars.

1. When dropping scholars off to campus, please do not leave scholars on the school property before 7:35am as there will be no adult supervision before that time.

2. Please do not drop your scholars off on the curb or sidewalk. Please utilize the car rider line to ensure a potential accident does not happen.

3. If you walk your scholars to school, please do not enter through the doors beyond the cones but rather stop and allow your scholars to enter and walk to class.

4. Please be sure that your scholar(s) is in their grade level dress code daily.

5. Please be sure that your scholar(s) arrive between 7:35 a.m. - 8:00 a.m. This will give them time to eat their breakfast before it is over and instruction starts at 8:05 a.m. sharp

6. If you drop your scholar off after 8:05a, you must walk them into the building and sign them in at the front office.

7. Please be sure that your scholar(s) have their transportation tags daily: (Car rider, Bus, Daycare, Walker/Biker)

8. Lost tags will incur a cost to be paid at the front office for new ones.

9. If you plan to pick your scholar(s) up early, make sure it is before 2:45 p.m. We will not be able to release anyone scholar(s) after this time to ensure that their is no interruption in the dismissal process.

10. Please understand that we will not allow routine transportation changes for any scholars. Choose one mode of transportation so that there will not be any chances of scholars being lost. This aids all staff and Guest Teachers in knowing the one mode of transportation for a scholar.

It is necessary that all protocols are followed daily and consistently to ensure the safety of all scholars and staff. We appreciate your diligence and support.

Thank you,

Principal Day
