Cuero Junior High

We have so much to celebrate this week! Congratulations to our students who earned All-A Honor Roll recognition for the first six weeks and to our first Gobbler Good Citizen award recipients. We are proud of the hard work, positive choices, and commitment these students bring to our campus.

We also wrapped up a great cross country season, with both our seventh-grade girls and eighth-grade boys winning district championships! Our choir students added to an exciting week with a fantastic concert Thursday night. Thank you to our students, coaches, directors, and families for making these accomplishments possible.

This Wednesday, students will participate in our Level Up Benchmark during the school day. Please encourage your child to take the benchmark seriously and give their best effort. The results will help us identify each student’s strengths and areas for growth so we can develop an individual action plan to support their progress.

Progress reports will go home Thursday. Please take a few minutes to review your child’s grades together, celebrate their progress, and discuss any areas that need attention.

We will also conduct hearing, vision, and acanthosis screenings for all seventh-grade students this week.

At Cuero Junior High, we believe every choice, every action, and every day matter. We look forward to helping students focus their minds, level up their effort, achieve their goals, and take each day up a notch.

Thank you for being an essential part of the Gobbler family. Let’s level up together!

We are excited to celebrate school spirit together during our upcoming themed dress-up days! Students are encouraged to participate while continuing to follow the campus dress code. All shoes must be in dress code. Leggings may be work IF they have fingertip length shorts or a skirt on top. No hair dye, body paint, or face paint covering the majority of the face.

Wednesday, October 14 — Bag the Wildcats

Dress like Adam Sandler and wear your favorite baggy clothes.

During the month of October, students are allowed to wear Cuero ISD/school-spirit shirts that incorporate pink in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In addition, we will have a Pink Out week where students may wear any school appropriate pink attire.

October 19–23 — Pink Out Week

Wear pink all week to help raise awareness for Breast Cancer Awareness Month! Let’s show support, spread kindness, and stand together for those who have been affected by breast cancer.

This is a reminder that all students are expected to bring their charged Chromebook and charger to school every day.

Students may receive consequences for:

• Arriving to class without their Chromebook

• Excessive Chromebook checkouts (more than 4 per semester)

• Failing to return a loaner Chromebook on the same day it is checked out

Please help us by ensuring your child brings both their Chromebook and charger to school daily.

Thank you for your support!

Attendance matters every day. Regular, on-time attendance helps students stay connected to instruction, keep up with assignments, and earn course credit. Please review our Attendance, Absence & Tardy Expectations for documentation requirements, the 90% rule, and tardy consequences.

Students who arrive more than 10 minutes after the tardy bell are counted absent. Please help students arrive on time each day.

Students may only be checked out by a Parent/Guardian or someone listed on their Parent Portal Account. Please be prepared to show a valid driver's license or ID Card.

Please note:

• Regular School Days: No student pick-up/check-out after 3:00 PM
• Early Release Days: No student pick-up/check-out after 12:00 PM

Students may bring a lunch box to school for lunch, but no outside food or drinks may be brought in for students. If a student forgets their lunch, it must be dropped off by 9:00 AM

Parents MAY NOT bring outside food or drinks for athletes between 1st and 2nd period unless it is in a lunch box.

Thank you for your understanding!
