The Raider Report for Parents

Dear Sam Rayburn Families,

First and foremost, thank you to everyone who attended and supported our Family Engagement Night. Your presence made the evening special, and we have a great opportunity to continue strengthening the partnership between our families and school.

I would also like to thank our Sam Rayburn community for the wonderful birthday wishes and thoughtful gestures. In all my years, it was the best birthday I have ever had at work! I am truly grateful to be part of this community.

This week, I spent time with our 8th-grade Science team reviewing student data and planning how to reengage learners. Our teachers are using evidence of student learning to make focused instructional adjustments and continue growing every student academically.

Just as importantly, we remain committed to building positive relationships with our students. Research consistently highlights two important factors in student success:

1. A meaningful relationship with a trusted adult.

2. A strong connection to school—both inside and outside the classroom.

Coach Medina’s Drone Club was a wonderful example during Family Engagement Night. It was inspiring to see so many students and families gathered around the club, learning together and sharing in the excitement.

We are reviewing our clubs, committees, and student organizations so we can expand opportunities for every Raider to discover an interest, build relationships, and feel connected to Sam Rayburn. Please encourage your child to participate when these opportunities are shared.

Relationships create connections, connections build engagement, and engagement opens the door to learning. Thank you for partnering with us as we continue moving Sam Rayburn from good to great.

Raider Up!

Sam Rayburn Middle School is one of the few campuses without an active Parent Teacher Association, and I would like your help changing that.

A strong PTA gives families a voice, supports our students and staff, and strengthens our school community.

If you are interested in helping us establish a PTA, please contact me at Lawrence.Carranco@nisd.net. Together, we can build something meaningful for our Raiders!

It's that time of year we honor our loved ones who are no longer with us.

In lower B the Spanish club is sponsoring a Dia de Los Muertos altar.

You are welcome to bring a picture of your loved one and place it on the altar.

The altar will be up from October 26-November 6

Thank you,
