Good Evening, Cuda Families!
I hope you all had a restful and enjoyable holiday break! Reflecting on our memorable first semester, I want to sincerely thank you for your incredible support. Together, we navigated a wide range of events—Open House, athletic competitions, fine arts performances, Veterans' Day Breakfast, Trail of Treats, spirit days, and more. Your generosity with Travelin’ Tom’s Coffee Truck made it possible to treat every staff member to a free drink, bringing smiles to our team and reminding them how much they are appreciated. Thank you for making that happen!
As we kick off our second semester, teachers will be resetting classroom norms and expectations to maximize instructional time. This is a critical part of ensuring we close learning gaps, challenge students to think deeply, and prepare for upcoming state assessments. Your continued support at home makes a huge difference—thank you for all you do!
Important Reminders & Upcoming Events:
Lunch Policy
Please note that parents may only bring food for their own children. Food drop-offs are not permitted. If you bring food for your child, you are required to sit and eat with them during lunch.
CCEF Hearts & Minds 5K
Free registration for CCISD students. Deadline is January 10. See the flyer below for sign-up details and join us in supporting this great event!
Middle-of-Year MAP & Screener Testing
Testing begins next week, and we’ll follow a block schedule from Monday through Thursday, January 13–16. More details will be shared in next week’s newsletter.
Report Cards
The fourth grading period starts tomorrow! Report cards for the third grading period will be available online this Friday, January 10, at 4:30 p.m.
After-School Pick-Up
Please ensure your child has a clear after-school plan. We’ve noticed many students remaining on campus well after dismissal. Adult supervision ends at 4:30 p.m., and all students must exit the building unless they are in tutoring or a supervised activity. Students will not be allowed back inside after leaving. Thank you for helping us keep dismissal safe and smooth.
We are excited to welcome back all our students tomorrow! Let’s start this semester strong together. Thank you for your continued partnership and support.
Your Proud Principal,
Mr. Raymond Garza
