Happy Super Bowl Sunday Jackrabbits!

A special Thank You to Board of Trustees member, Mrs. C. Najera and Mrs. Trejo, Assistant Superintendent of Schools for sharing their special books by reading to our students on World Read Aloud Day, Feb. 7th. Reading that inspired the love of literature.

Congratulations to our Math Bee Winners! All the buzz this week was about our much anticipated campus Bee. These students will be representing our school at our district's even on March 23rd. A special shout out to Ms. Estrada for coordinating the event and guiding both mathematicians and teachers in the process. Our list of grade level winners is seen below.

Valentine's Day, Feb. 14th is an allowable treat day. Treats for students will be accepted before 7:45 a.m. No exceptions, thank you for your understanding. We will not disrupt classroom instruction.

This past Thursday we were delighted to host instructional rounds in collaboration with the Eastlake H.S. feeder pattern principals and instructional coaches. With immense pride and excitement, we showcased our learning and teaching by opening the doors and receiving feedback of the best practices happening in all our classes kinder through fifth. Students and teachers were recognized with lots of glows and accolades from these walk throughs.

This Saturday's Blitz brought in over a hundred scholars for accelerated learning and possible loss of credit makeup hours. Thank you parents for allowing us to make a difference in your child's learning by focusing in on concentrated additional instruction time.

We have received several calls regarding PK3/PK4 Compulsory Attendance. Below is some clarification:

• Compulsory Attendance applies to ALL students upon enrollment regardless of age, please see snip of FEA(legal) below. This policy is tied to truancy therefore, if the student has 10 or more unexcused absences during a 6 month period, the parent is subject to a referral to truancy court.

Friendly Reminder: All students from Pre-Kinder through Fifth Grades are held accountable to state compulsory attendance rules. Although pre-k and kindergarten are not mandated by the state of Texas, once enrolled in school, parents are held accountable for their child's daily attendance. Both excused and unexcused absences are still seen as days out of school. All students are responsible to make up lost instructional times. Let us know if there are any questions or concerns. We are here to assist you!

Students who are in attendance from Monday through Fridays will have the chance to wear free dress on the proceeding Monday. Please adhere to our acceptable student dress code when wearing free dress. Other incentives will be available throughout the school year. No torn or frayed jeans are allowed at any time.

For Doctor's Appointments:

Pick up your children before 1:00 PM.

For PK & Kinder:

Scholars should be picked no later than 2:00 PM.

For 1st-5th Grade:

Scholars should be picked up no later than 2:30 PM.
