Notes from the Heart
Welcome Back as we begin our journey “SOARing Beyond the Stars!!! Here we are already completing the 3rd week of school and headed into September. There are already so many wonderful things going on in the classrooms. I have seen some great science experiments, heard some wonderful reading, read some amazing writing, and seen some great math skills throughout the grade levels. Routines and procedures have been practiced and our PBIS matrix taught, to ensure all students are aware of our SOAR expectations.
Once again this year we have many events and special days planned for our students. We have included in this newsletter some important “Save the Dates” for the fall semester that are already on the calendar, and will continue to make you aware of more experiences as they get added. Please also follow us on our Facebook and Instagram pages for reminders and additional pictures of our students learning and growing.
Thank you for joining us again this year and entrusting us with your children. We are looking forward to a great year of learning, growing, and celebrating our success!

General Reminders
2026 - 2027 School Hours
School Hours - 8:15am - 3:35pm
Doors will open to allow car riders in starting at 7:50. Students must stay in cars until 7:50 when doors open. Students who enter after 8:15 will be considered tardy. If interested in after-school care, Club Rewind operates on campus, but parents must register separately. Additionally, several area daycares have vans that will pick up from campus and/or use CFISD transportation. Please call our front desk at 281-897-4512 for more information.
Francone Lunch Procedures
Visitors are welcome beginning Monday, Sept. 14, 2026. There may be later dates we are closed to visitors due to schedule changes. Parents should pay close attention to monthly newsletters for these dates.
Seating
Seating is limited for visitors. You may only sit with your child at the visitor table. Your child's friends must remain with the teacher.
Food
Parents can only provide food for their personal child. Other children should eat what their parent has sent for them or from the cafeteria. Once lunch ends, your child should throw away what they have not eaten. Please do not send them back to class with sodas, etc.
Arrival/Departure
Please remain in the front office until 5 minutes prior to your child's start of lunch. This helps with congestion at the visitor table. When the signal for the last 5 minutes of lunch is announced, please say your goodbyes, so that your student may return to their homeroom table to prepare for exiting directions from his/her teacher. Please turn in your "visitor sticker" to the front office when you depart.
Volunteer
Consider volunteering if your schedule allows!
Safety Reminder!
Please be sure students are not dropped off in the parking lot outside of school in the morning prior to doors opening at 7:50 AM. All students should arrive in the car rider line, as bus riders, or as walkers (for those who live within walking distance of the campus).
Parent Quick Reference Sheet
Your one stop to "KNOW IT ALL!" The attachment that will be below will take you to our parent guide for the year. This is a great resource to reference for questions about arrival, dismissal, lunch procedures, dress code, etc. A hard copy of this document was sent home at the start of the year, as well.
