TES COMMUNITY & FAMILY NEWS

We are so proud of the growth that the vast majority of our Timberwolves have made with their behaviors! Please help us by continuing to encourage them to keep the positive choices going. :)

That being said, we are at the time of the year where all scholars have been given the expectations for appropriate behaviors. They have been allowed to reset and make correct choices. That being said, scholars in the last 3.5 days of school that continue to make the choice to not follow behavioral expectations will not be allowed to participate in any extra curricular activities. This includes, but not limited to:

1. Field Trips
2. Field Days
3. Classroom End-of-the-Year Celebrations
4. Promotional Ceremonies (they will still advance to the next grade level if they are passing)

If a scholar is deemed not eligible to participate due to behavior, you will be notified by their teachers.

¡Estamos muy orgullosos del progreso que la gran mayoría de nuestros Timberwolves han logrado con su comportamiento! Por favor, ayúdennos a seguir animándolos a mantener buenas decisiones. :)

Dicho esto, estamos en la época del año en que todos los alumnos han recibido las expectativas de comportamiento apropiado. Se les ha permitido replantearse y tomar decisiones correctas. Dicho esto, los alumnos que en los últimos 3.5 días de clases sigan incumpliendo las expectativas de comportamiento no podrán participar en ninguna actividad extracurricular. Esto incluye, entre otras:

Excursiones

Días de campo

Celebraciones de fin de año en el aula

Ceremonias de promoción (aún avanzarán al siguiente grado si aprueban).

Si un alumno no es elegible para participar debido a su comportamiento, sus maestros se lo notificarán.

• May 26: Memorial Day Holiday / NO SCHOOL
• May 28: PK Promotion Ceremony / 9:00 am
• May 29: 5th Grade Promotion Ceremony / 9:00 am
• May 30: Early Release at 12:55 pm / LAST DAY OF SCHOOL

Parents/Guardians,

It is that time of the year where we celebrate the promotion of PK scholars to Kindergarten and 5th grade scholars to 6th grade! Please take note of the fliers below. Each scholar will receive four (4) tickets for entry into their assigned ceremony.

The expectation of four tickets per scholar, in each of these grade levels, is strictly enforced. Please understand that we MUST stay within the confines of the Harris County Fire Marshall Code with visitor capacity.

Thank you so much for your understanding.

Walker Rainy Day Dismissal Procedures

As for any SEVERE WEATHER DAYS designated by Harris County or heavy rain days, your child will not be released to walk. We will initiate our RAINY DAY DISMISSAL procedures and dismiss all walkers with the car riders. Therefore, parents you will need to come and pick up your child from school on these days in the car rider line with your orange tag visible or in the front office.

The state of Texas has a mandatory Attendance Requirement of 90%. Please know that under the Compulsory Attendance Law, all students must be in attendance at least 90% of the time they've been enrolled in a public school. In order to receive credit for a final grade for a class, a student is required to attend class 90 percent of the days a class is offered regardless of whether the student's absences are excused ] or unexcused.

TEA ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS

Be sure to contact our Attendance Clerk regarding your child being absent for any reason.

Appointments & Excuses

If your child has a doctor's appointment, please try to schedule it after snapshot attendance time at 9:30am. Any student who arrives after 9:30am is counted absent, regardless of what type of appointment it is. However, it is recommended that in this instance, you still provide the documentation for any medical appointments to ensure the absence has been resolved versus left unexcused. Unexcused absences do not tell the story. But doctors' notes and parent notes do! Please submit doctor's excuses and parent notes within three days of the absence.

Tardies

School starts at 8:00AM. We have free breakfast each day and students can arrive as early as 7:35am! Students who are late, enter the room frustrated or off task, causing a disruption to the instructional day. Help our scholars learn meaningful lessons about life and work, by getting them to school on time to assist them in getting a GREAT START!

Student IDs Mandatory

Starting this school year, student IDs are mandatory for all Spring ISD students. IDs for elementary students must be worn on a lanyard and be visible at all times. All students will receive an ID and lanyard during the first two weeks of school. Once the IDs have been delivered to the campus, we will send out detailed information.

Important Updates to the Spring ISD Student Code of Conduct

Spring ISD has a Student Code of Conduct to promote a safe and disciplined learning environment for every student that will be strictly enforced on our campus. Therefore, please review with your family these standards of conduct along with the disciplinary consequences for infractions.

Safety is everyone’s responsibility, and I ask you, as parents, to partner with us by speaking with your children about appropriate behavioral expectations to ensure a positive learning environment in our school.

Your continued support is needed with following the established safety protocols set on campus to ensure the safety of all scholars.

1. When dropping scholars off to campus, please do not leave scholars on the school property before 7:35am as there will be no adult supervision before that time.

2. Please do not drop your scholars off on the curb or sidewalk. Please utilize the car rider line to ensure a potential accident does not happen.

3. If you walk your scholars to school, please do not enter through the doors beyond the cones but rather stop and allow your scholars to enter and walk to class.

4. If you drop your scholar off after 8:05a, you must walk them into the building and sign them in at the front office.

It is necessary that all protocols are followed daily and consistently to ensure the safety of all scholars and staff. We appreciate your diligence and support.

Thank you,

Principal Day
