Rodeo Roundup

Our Rodeo Roundup is on Saturday, February 23rd.  Please send checks for wristbands, dinner tickets, etc in the envelope that was provided to your child last week.  Also, we are in need of donations of baked goods for the Cake Walk.  Please refer to the flyer that will be sent home on Tuesday in Dolphin Folders.  I hope to see you all there on Saturday night!!

In preparation for Rodeo Roundup, students will be able to wear western wear on Friday.
All biography projects are due on Tuesday, February 19th.  Students will present their projects to parents and family members on Thursday night in the gym at 6 o'clock.  I am really looking forward to seeing their projects and their creativity when they dress up for Thursday night!!

Students were given a note today on bright yellow paper regarding drop off/pick up procedures.  If you drop off your child or pick up your child in the afternoon, please follow the directions in  the letter.  I'm sure none of you is a culprit, but it appears that we've been having some controversy ....

On Thursday, February 21st we are participating in "Go Houston Texan Day".  Students will be able to wear a Houston Texans jersey or tshirt.  (Texans only...no other team)

In preparation for Rodeo Roundup, students will be able to wear western wear on Friday.

6th grade course selection

This morning the 5th grade students heard a presentation from the new principal at Polly Ryon, the 6th grade counselor at Reading, and Mr. Nava, the current principal of Reading.  Each student received a course selection paper, which is due on February 22.  EVERY student will be required to complete the form and turn it in, regardless of where he/she will be attending school next year.  The electives for next year were discussed.  However, if a student does not make 110% on STAAR, the elective will be Math/Reading improvement.  On February 12th at 6:30 there will be a parent informational meeting at Reading regarding electives and procedures at Polly Ryon.

Feb. 15th is our Valentine Party!! It will be from 10:00-11:00 because this is an Early Release day at 11:30. Your child will be given a note with all their classmate's names and instruction for our Valentines. Please send $5 to help pay for the supplies for our party. If you would like to help with the party, please send me an email. I appreciate all the parents who can come and make our party extra special!!

My students are quickly accumulating scholar dollars for following directions, taking pride in assignments, random acts of kindness, etc. Have they discussed what they want to create for Scholar Dollar Day? Please let me know if you have any questions regarding Scholar Dollar Day.
