CFES Parent Update

Good morning, Cougar Families!

Thank you to our amazing PTO for sponsoring our kindergarten field trip to the Oil Ranch! Our students had an incredible time exploring, learning, and making memories with their classmates. We are so grateful for the support of our PTO and the many opportunities they provide for our students throughout the year.

Don't forget that Thursday is the final day of our PTO's Friends of Creekside fundraiser! Thank you so much for your generosity and support. We are looking forward to one final push as we wrap up this exciting fundraiser.

I'm also looking forward to the Wishkoski Car Wash finale, and I know our students are too! Thank you for helping make Creekside such a wonderful place for our kids to learn, grow, and thrive. Together, we can finish strong!

Tomball ISD and CFES values your feedback. On Monday, November 2, you received an email from TISD Communications with a brief survey to tell us about your experience of CFES. To ensure we continue to provide high quality, rigorous learning experiences that meet the needs of our learners and prepare them for their best futures, we need your feedback. We want to know what you think.

The survey will begin on November 2 and close on November 20. You will be able to take the survey online at home or on the go on your mobile device.

We thank you in advance for your thoughtful responses. If you have any questions about the survey administration, please don’t hesitate to contact us at 281-357-4526.

WATCH D.O.G.S.® (Dads Of Great Students) is a family and community engagement educational initiative. There are 2 primary goals of the WATCH D.O.G.S. program: 1. To provide positive male role models for the students, demonstrating by their presence that education is important. 2. To provide extra sets of eyes and ears to enhance school security.

Remember to apply every year to volunteer for Watch D.O.G.S. on this link. It may take a couple of weeks to process. You will receive your schedule upon arrival!

We ask that dads sign up for one spot per year so all families have the opportunity to participate. Thank you for volunteering!

DO NOT SIGN UP FOR WATCH D.O.G.S. UNTIL YOU HAVE BEEN CLEARED AFTER FILLING OUT THE VOLUNTEER APPLICATION.
