Anton Elem. Dec. Newsletter

Dear Parents and Guardians,

We will begin our middle-of-the-year NWEA assessments the first week of December. These assessments help us measure each student’s academic growth since the beginning of the school year and guide our instructional planning moving forward.

Please remind your child to get plenty of rest, be on time to school, and bring a positive attitude as they show what they have learned. We are proud of the hard work our students and staff have put in so far and look forward to seeing their progress. Remember: growth is our goal!

Thank you for your continued support!

Sincerely,
Megan Scroggins, Elementary Principal

We have several illnesses circulating right now. Please help us keep everyone healthy by keeping your student home if they are showing any symptoms. Students should be symptom-free for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication before returning to school.

Our awesome custodial staff will be fogging classrooms to help prevent germs from lingering when we return from Thanksgiving break.

When students return, please send either a doctor’s note or a parent note documenting the absence. As always, be sure to communicate with Mrs. Hembree if your student will be out.

Thank you for your understanding and support!

Please click on the following link to see a brief letter from Nurse Williams pertaining to spinal screenings that will occur on Dec 1st (the day students return from Thanksgiving break).

We are so thankful for our wonderful families and our amazing little turkeys! Thanks to the generosity of Littlefield United Supermarkets and a kind-hearted donor, each winner received a turkey to take home. We are truly grateful for our ongoing partnership with United Supermarkets and for the support that helps make special moments like this possible.

A huge shout-out to our fantastic Elementary PE team, Coach Duncan and Mrs. Hodges! Your energy, dedication, and hard work made this event such a success—we couldn’t have done it without you!

My name is Anita Rogers, and I have been an educator for 37 years . I have taught at Anton ISD for 35 of those years, with my first two years were spent teaching in Tulia ISD. I have taught Kindergarten, math Intervention, and elementary special education. I am a certified Dyslexia Therapist. I later earned my master’s degree from West Texas A&M University as an Educational Diagnostician. I now serve as the district’s Special Education Director, Dyslexia Therapist and ESL Bookkeeper. Anton ISD has been a meaningful part of my life for many years, and I am now teaching my second generation of students. I enjoy the small-town atmosphere.

I am married to my husband, Randal Rogers. We enjoy spending time with our family, traveling and going to estate sales. I also enjoy reading and cross-stitching. I have twin sons, Cody and Carson DeFever. Cody is married to McKenna. Together Randal and I have 4 kids, a daughter-in-law, a son-in-law and 2 grandkids.
