Majestic Messenger

Thank you for choosing Majestic Gardens and for trusting us with what matters most, your children. We are so proud to partner with you and are grateful for the opportunity to support your students each day.

As a reminder, there is no school on Friday, September 4, or Monday, September 7. We hope you enjoy some well-deserved rest, relaxation, and quality time with your families.

We look forward to welcoming everyone back on Tuesday, September 8!

Have a wonderful long weekend, Lions! 🦁💙💛

Progress reports will be posted in parent portal for grades 2-5 on Friday September 11th. Parents can log in and check their students progress. Students in grades kindergarten and 1st do not receive progress reports. If the teacher is having any academic concerns at this time the teacher will reach out and discuss with you.

We have a new Parent Portal link! Please use the link below to access the Parent Portal

Every minute of instruction matters! We have noticed an increase in students being picked up early on a regular basis, and we want to remind families that consistent attendance for the entire school day is essential to student success.

When students are picked up before the end of the school day, they miss valuable instructional time, classroom discussions, interventions, and opportunities to practice and apply new learning. Those missed minutes add up quickly over the course of a school year.

Additionally, under Texas attendance requirements, students must be in attendance at least 90% of the school year to receive credit for the school year. Regular early pickups count toward missed instructional time and will impact a student's attendance records. We do NOT allow or support regular early pick ups on our campus.

We understand that occasional appointments or emergencies arise, but we ask families to avoid scheduling routine early dismissals whenever possible. Please schedule what you can to Friday's as we have many of them off from school. Thank you for partnering with us to ensure our students are present, engaged, and learning throughout the entire school day.

MG Elementary Families, We want to make sure every student in our school community has access to the food they need to thrive. Through our partnership with Frisco Fastpacs, eligible families can receive a weekly bag of nutritious, kid-friendly food to help provide additional support at home. If your family could benefit from this program, we encourage you to complete the Frisco Fastpacs application. Participation is confidential, and our goal is simply to connect families with resources that can help. https://www.friscofastpacs.org/receive-fastpacs If you have questions or need assistance completing the application, please reach out to me. I am happy to help! Thank you for allowing us to partner with you in supporting the well-being and success of your child.

Warm Regards,

Join us at Majestic Gardens Leadership Prep for a Cyber Safety Parent Seminar led by the Children’s Advocacy Center. This informative session will help parents better understand the digital world their children are navigating and provide practical strategies for keeping them safe online. Topics will include common online risks, inappropriate content, privacy, online grooming and enticement, and how to have important conversations with your child about internet safety. Come learn, ask questions, and leave with tools you can use at home to help your child navigate technology safely and confidently.

For families choosing Walker dismissal, students are currently dismissed from the front doors at 3:55 p.m. Parents/authorized adults should meet their student at the designated walker area at the front of the school.

To help ensure the safety of our youngest students, we will be holding our Kindergarten and 1st grade walkers a little longer before releasing them from the front doors. This additional time will allow our staff to monitor students and help ensure they are able to safely connect with their parent or authorized adult. If your student is a walker, we do not have a student check out. If you prefer a check out, the carpool is your option. If parents are consistently late for walker pick up, you will no longer be able to be considered a walker and must pick up in the carpool lanes.

We appreciate your patience and partnership as we continue to refine our dismissal procedures and, most importantly, keep our students safe.

We are not permitting visitors or volunteers in the school until after 9/14. This allows us time to establish routines and procedures with minimum distractions. Thank you for understanding.

Please review the Parent/Student handbook prior to the first day of school. HERE is the UPDATED link. You can access information regarding:

• Attendance
• Uniform expectations
• Technology
• Student code of conduct
• And so much more!

We will NOT have additional clothing on hand for students to change into during the school day if needed. Parents, you will need to ensure your student is in dress code everyday as well as provide additional items for students or you will be called to drop off items or pick up your student.

Our doors open for drop off at 7:00am each day in the gym, students K-5. All students will enter the building through the gym doors on the south side of the building only. Students will follow their regular schedule each day. Dismissal is at 3:55 pm everyday. Please see more information below regarding our new process for dismissal with PikMyKid as we are diligently working to streamline our process.

PLEASE AVOID ENTERING THE DRIVEWAY DIRECTLY FROM MAIN STREET FOR ARRIVAL AND DISMISSAL! BACKING UP MAIN STREET IS BECOMING AN ISSUE!

Thank you all for your patience and for working with us to streamline our process as our goal is efficiency but more importantly safety!

The safety of our students is our top priority, and we need the participation of ALL families to ensure arrival and dismissal run safely and efficiently each day. Please review the traffic routes below and enter the car rider line as indicated in the image. Following the designated routes helps keep traffic moving and creates a safer environment for everyone.

As we begin the school year, please be patient with us during the first few weeks. Students, families, and staff are all learning and adjusting to the procedures together. Your cooperation and flexibility are greatly appreciated as we work to establish smooth routines.

Arrival & Dismissal Reminders

Please help us by following these important expectations:

• Remain in your vehicle at all times while in the carpool line. NEVER park and get out of your car while in the carpool line. This is a drive though line ONLY where cars should NEVER be parked.

• Students must be able to unbuckle/buckle seatbelts and exit/enter the vehicle with little to no assistance. If you feel that your student needs assistance, you may park in a designated parking spot to assist them but NOT in the carpool lane.

• Students must enter and exit the vehicle from the PASSENGER SIDE ONLY for everyone's safety.
• Students may NOT be dropped off or picked up on Majestic Gardens Drive at any time. YOU are risking YOUR student's safety by doing so. Student entry is only allowed at the front of the building.
• Students are only able to access designated entry/exits during arrival and dismissal.
• Families requesting "walker" dismissal must provide proof of residency within one-half (½) mile of the school. Students will only be designated as walkers AFTER approval from the campus. This must be YOUR residence that is on record, not a friend or family member.
• At this time, we are NOT permitting parent "walk ups" as our students are dismissed from inside the building.
• You MUST have your dismissal car tag displayed while in the carpool line. If you do not have your tag, you must park in a designated parking spot and enter the building with your drivers license/passport. We will be printing an additional car tag for each student within the first few weeks of school.

Thank you for partnering with us to keep our students safe and make arrival and dismissal a positive experience for everyone. Working together, we can ensure a smooth start to the school year!

PikMyKid App

We will be using a new app this year for dismissal called Pikmykid. Below is a video and the parents information guide. We hope that this will be an easy transition and help with the dismissal process. Please review prior to the first day of school for a smooth transition. We truly believe this will make our process more safe and more smooth moving forward. See map below.

Water Bottles

To help maintain a safe and clean learning environment, all students need a spill-proof water bottle each day. This helps prevent spills that can create safety hazards and disrupt instruction.

Snacks

Students may bring a healthy, dry, and easy-to-eat snack for designated snack times. Choosing simple, mess-free snacks helps students quickly refuel while minimizing distractions and keeping our classrooms clean. Snack items should be easy to open by the student and not include utensils or preparation. We also prefer to avoid peanut products in the classrooms as well.

Some snack suggestions include: protein bars, dried fruit, goldfish, etc.

If you are unable to pick up your child by 3:55 p.m., we encourage you to enroll in our after-school care program. Our teachers and staff dedicate long hours each day to supporting student learning and are not able to provide supervision beyond the end of the instructional day. Enrolling in after-school care helps ensure your child is safely supervised while also allowing our staff to conclude their workday as scheduled. We appreciate your partnership in helping us maintain a safe and efficient dismissal process.
