A Message from the Principal:

Dear Parents,

I am proud to announce that our students are off to an outstanding start. I am so excited to have opportunities for our parents to join us for various campus events, especially our Curriculum Night held on September 23rd.

We have completed beginning of the year assessments in all grade levels and this information will be shared with parents very soon. Our campus leadership team has been analyzing the data and is working with teachers to put a strong action plan in place to address any areas of weakness. We will then continue to assess students and monitor their progress through small group targeted learning sessions and possibly after school tutoring. Please know that teachers are creating prescriptive lessons to assist your child in meeting learning goals.

Our Rayburn PTO is excited for our Annual Fall Festival! Please support our school with this. We are looking for sponsors and volunteers. Please go to Sam Rayburn PTO Facebook for more information. We have been able to add many improvements to our school with these funds as well as pay for many student activities/incentives. Future projects these funds will potentially assist with our playground upgrades, cafeteria decor and field trips for students.

I am asking for parent support in after school transportation arrangements. While I understand that emergencies do arise at times and changes must be made, these instances are happening more and more frequently causing a disruption in dismissal procedures. Please refrain from making changes for your child's afterschool pickup once the school day has started. Teachers are working hard providing instruction and many times are not able to check their messages until the end of the day.

Please stay attentive to our district and campus emails and posts. We have a lot of October activities scheduled and encourage your children and/or family to participate. Please know that we are here to support your child any way we can and we look forward to celebrating more successful moments for your child. Remember attendance plays a vital role in your child's education and our school's success. Please make sure your child is on time and at school everyday all day. Thank you for your support!
