TES COMMUNITY & FAMILY NEWS

Thank you so much for your support via online purchases. 😊

I appreciate you so much. WE STILL HAVE MORE! Please purchase the last of them in the front office.

Details are in the flier below. Thank you so much.

Principal Day

The End-of-the-Year (EOY) Assessments will take place this week, May 5th-9th for all scholars. The purpose of these assessments is to determine the measure of growth your scholars have made from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. The data collected will be a good measure to determine the needs of scholars going into their grade level for the 2025-2026 school year.

We are almost at the end of the school year! I still can't believe it. Here is the gist:

• scholars have 19 days of school left
• scholars must come to school everyday
• scholars must be seated and ready for instruction 8:05 a.m.
• scholars must exemplify positive behaviors

We are preparing to finish strong!

*******************************************************************************************************

Las Evaluaciones de Fin de Año (EOY) se llevarán a cabo esta semana, del 5 al 9 de mayo, para todos los estudiantes. El propósito de estas evaluaciones es determinar el progreso de sus estudiantes desde el inicio hasta el final del año. Los datos recopilados serán un buen indicador para determinar las necesidades de los estudiantes que ingresarán a su nivel de grado para el año escolar 2025-2026.

¡Ya casi termina el año escolar! Todavía no lo puedo creer. En resumen:

A los estudiantes les quedan 19 días de clases.

Deben asistir a la escuela todos los días.

Deben estar sentados y listos para recibir clases a las 8:05 a. m.

Deben demostrar un comportamiento positivo.

¡Nos estamos preparando para terminar con fuerza!

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 19 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 19 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.

Padres/Tutores,

¡Por favor, vengan y apoyen la Noche del Telescopio de Primavera organizada por el ISD en la Escuela Primaria Thompson! En el ciclo escolar 2025-2026, lanzaremos por completo nuestro Programa STEM del distrito. Quizás recuerden que en otoño de 2024 se celebró una reunión informativa para padres/tutores en la Escuela Primaria Thompson.

Por favor, traigan a sus hijos a explorar actividades relacionadas con Ciencia, Tecnología, Ingeniería y Matemáticas (STEM). ¡Espero verlos allí!

Día del Director

Parents/Guardians,

Wednesday, May 7, 2025 is the day set aside across the nation to celebrate school nurses. Nurse Brown has taken care of many bumps, bruises, nose bleeds, tummy aches, headaches, etc. She has been intentional and purposeful in ensuring that all scholars are cared for in her office.

Please team up with your scholars to show our very own Nurse Brown your appreciation for taking care of all scholars since day one of school in August 2024!

Thank you all in advance for your support.

💓Happy National Nurse's Day - Nurse Brown 💓

This week is set aside to honor our amazing teaching staff. Through all things, they have maintained being on the frontline to ensure your scholars are engaged in aligned lesson activities. This is hard work that can sometime become exhausting and draining. The physical and mental toll on their bodies has not stopped them from showing up to teach every scholar assigned to them regardless of the academic or behavior deficit hurdles they have crossed with your scholars. They are steadfast and keep going in an effort to promote success in all scholars.

Help me show great appreciation and gratitude to the teachers and assistants for their hard work and continued dedication! I am proud to have lead this TimberWolf Pack! :)

Sincerely,

Principal Day

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.

Please click to veiw the requirements!

TEA ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS

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

mflore3@springisd.org

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!

Dear Parents and Guardians,

In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, Spring ISD is hosting two special events for parents and guardians. We encourage you to attend and take part in supporting mental wellness within our community. Use the QR code below to register

• Parents, this week marks our End-of-Year testing for all grade levels.
• Please encourage your child to do their very best and show all they’ve learned throughout the school year!

• We are getting ready for our Asian American Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander event!
• Please mark your calendars for Thursday, May 15 at 5pm to join us for this inaugural event.

• Our final diagnostic tests will take place this week to evaluate the growth our students have made in math and reading this year.
• Please ensure students arrive on time and get a good night of sleep.

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
