The Raguet Review

Dear Raguet Families,

I hope you have all enjoyed a restful, fun-filled summer with family and friends. As the warm days of summer draw to a close, our teachers, staff, and administration are bustling with energy and anticipation, preparing our classrooms and halls for the return of our students.

The first day of school is August 12th and we cannot wait to see both new and returning faces. A new school year brings fresh starts, new friendships, and endless opportunities to learn and grow. Our team is fully committed to fostering a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where every student feels valued and empowered to reach their highest potential.

To help ensure a smooth transition on day one, please keep the following important details in mind:

• School Hours: Arrival begins at 7:30 and final dismissal is at 3:20. Please ensure your child arrives on time so they can settle into their classroom routine.

• Arrival & Drop-off Procedures: Remember that all students will be dropped off in the car rider line or via the bus. No parents will be permitted to walk their students to class. Please follow the traffic flow signs and remain in your vehicle while staff members assist students.

• Communication: Partnership with our families is vital. Please ensure your contact details are updated in to receive regular updates, newsletters, and announcements.

We invite you to join us for our Meet the Teacher on Monday, August 10th from 5:30-7:00 where you will have the chance to tour the building, meet your child’s teachers, and learn more about our curriculum and goals for the year.

Thank you for entrusting us with your children’s education and well-being. Together, we will make this an extraordinary school year filled with growth, learning, and success. Enjoy these final days of summer break!

Warm regards,

Heather Theiss (Stidham)

Principal, Raguet Elementary

• If you HAVE registered, please call the front office at 936-569-5052 for inquiries about homeroom assignments or let someone know at Meet the Teacher. Please remember that if you registered last week, you likely did not get a letter.

How do I register my student for NISD Transportation?

• Transportation will be at Meet the Teacher for you to speak with. You will also need to complete the registration online. Routes will be assigned by the transportation department.

Do we need to bring school supplies?

• NISD will provide basic school supplies for all students. Your student should bring a backpack and lunch box (if applicable), and a refillable water bottle. Teachers may request additional supplies.

Will students still get free breakfast and lunch?

• Yes! All students are allowed to get breakfast and lunch everyday.

Will I be able to walk my student to their classroom on the first day of school?

• No, all students will need to be dropped off in the car rider line. This will help to ensure that drop off is efficient and safe.

If you are unable to attend Meet the Teacher please come by the school either Tuesday 8/11 from 8-4 or Wednesday 8/12 from 8-1 to pick up your student's car rider tag. This tag is required any time your student is picked up through the car rider line during dismissal.

If you do not have a tag at dismissal on Wednesday, you will have to exit the car rider line and go into the front office. We will not release any student without a tag.

Coming Soon!!

It is very important that families follow the traffic patterns so that our dragons are safe! The car rider line should be left turn only into the line. When exiting the line, you will only be allowed to turn right.
