Greetings Timberwolf Parent,

Just a reminder that students without signed Accelerated Instruction waivers have mandatory after school tutorials Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Late buses will be provided for students. Please see email for tutorial dates. If you have any questions, please contact the Academic Achievement Office.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

If you plan on having your student leave early because of a doctor's appointment or non-emergency, please follow these procedures:

• Send a handwritten note with your student information and the time needed to be excused (please make sure your student gives it to attendance before 1st period).
• If sending a note through email, please make sure you attach a photo of your ID and you must send it an hour prior to leaving.
• No emails or early releases after 2:30 pm due to the dismissal process starting.

Other helpful tips:

• Make sure if your student is absent, please send a doctor's note when your student arrives back to school.
• Only emergency contacts listed can be allowed to take students with previous approval from guardian.
• If a student arrives at school after 7:55 am, make sure to sign them in or send a note. Otherwise, they will be counted absent.
• Only 8 absences are allowed per semester.

If you have any questions or concerns, please email Naavyah.Jenkins@cfisd.net for any

attendance needs.

However, these devices are not permitted during instructional time; and should be off and stored in their backpack at all times. District personnel will NOT assume responsibility for damaged, lost, or stolen electronic devices. Devices may be used during non-instructional times, athletic events or other school-related activities or special events with permission. Recording or taking pictures of adults and students while on campus is strictly prohibited, without permission.

Title I is a federally funded program meant to provide opportunities for disadvantaged

children to acquire the knowledge and skills they need to help close the

achievement gap. As a parent of a student receiving Title 1 funds, federal law allows

parents to ask for information about the certification of your child's teacher and/or paraprofessional.

Are you a dad, stepdad, granddad, uncle, or older brother? If so, we would love for you to come and volunteer as a Truitt Alpha!! It's very similar to the Watch D.O.G Program and it provides positive male role models on campus!

Your presence provides:

• School security
• Reduction in bullying
• A greater sense of safety
• Emphasis on the importance of education and attendance
