Wildcat Weekly

This past week brought celebrations of hard work by teachers and students! On Thursday we had some special visitors come congratulate our campus on our TEA "B" Rating and on Friday, we delivered some new bling to our TEA Designated Teachers! The coming week brings our Open House event! We are looking forward to seeing all our Wildcat families on Thursday and I know that many of our Wildcats cannot wait to visit the bookfair throughout the week. 📚

-Mrs. Rhoades 🐾

We want to send huge, huge congratulations to our six, yes six, TEA Designated teachers! These amazing teachers are now officially designated by the State of Texas for their teaching achievements from the 24-25 school year. Let's give them a hand!

We welcome you to attend our Open House on September 3rd! Teachers will run 2 repeated sessions to accomodate for those of you with multiple children. You only need to attend one session. See you there! We will also have a virtual opportunity for our Welcome Back Session on September 4th at 9:00am.

*Nurse Gill will also be available for any questions or student medication needs.

Can't make it on September 3rd, but still interested in hearing more about our campus? Please join our Virtual Title 1 Meeting on Friday, September 4th at 9:00am.

Our book fair is September 1-4! Set up an eWallet to avoid sending money to school. Click on the link to our Scholastic Book Fair page to preview the fair, set up an eWallet, or shop online. You can also visit the fair with your child during open house on September 3. Thank you for supporting the library! https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/worthamoakselementary

Calling all Grandparents! Save the date to come join your grandchild for breakfast on September 14. We will have an RSVP form next week so we know about how many people to expect. 🌺

✨If you ever need to change your child's dismissal, please contact both the teacher and the front office PRIOR to 2:15.

✨Every instructional minute counts and we need our students here until the end of the school day. However, we know that sometimes appointments come up. If you do need to pick up your child early, please do so by 2:15pm.

If you are visiting for lunch, please understand that your visitor's badge only gives you access to our central back courtyard. Parents should not be following students out to recess, the cafeteria or back to classrooms without authorization through the front office.

Interested in more information about the Standard Response Protocol that we follow? Please visit the website. https://iloveuguys.org/The-Standard-Response-Protocol.html

We are so close! Almost all our returning families have completed their updated registration. If you have not, please complete as soon as possible! There are forms that must be completed for her and Nurse Gill to be able to support your child throughout the year.

Mrs. Zapata will be at Open House ready to assist you if you need help!
