Good evening North Texas Collegiate Academy parents, this is Mr. Dix, Principal of East Campus.
I have our weekly announcements.
Our character trait of the the week is EMPATHY.
This week, our 3rd through 8th grade students will be taking the TFAR 6 Week Assessments, which are important in helping our students get prepared for the STAAR Tests coming in the spring. We will do math on Monday, ELAR on Tuesday, Science for 5th & 8th grade on Wednesday, and Social Studies for 8th grade on Thursday. Please encourage your students to give their absolute best effort, which is practicing EXCELLENCE. The information gathered from these assessments will help us to get all of our students prepared for the upcoming STAAR tests.
This Friday, November 4th, is the the last day of our 2nd Six Week grading cycle. If your student has been absent and needs to turn in any makeup work please be sure they do so by Friday. Report cards will go home on Monday, November 7th.
I want to remind all parents that daily attendance at school is crucial. Please make sure your student is at school every day on time to avoid truancy. Daily compulsory attendance is mandatory by law. NTxCA follows all Denton County attendance guidelines. If your child has unexcused absences, you will receive an Attendance/Truancy Warning letter.
Parents please help your child and their class win our attendance competition, which ends tomorrow. On time students get raffle tickets and will enter a special drawing for some awesome gift cards! Also, the class that has the highest percentage of attendance and lowest tardies will win a special treat for the entire class! Let's shoot for perfect attendance tomorrow to finish out our competition!
NTxCA will welcome a production team to campuses Wednesday through Friday this week. Although these are normal instructional days and the crew will not intentionally interrupt any activities, the team will be filming various classes and activities, interviewing certain staff and parents and shadowing certain students. (If your child will be shadowed, you have been informed.)
What's the purpose for the production team and filming? Stay tuned! We'll reveal the secret in January!
Our Fall Family Fun Day is almost here and will take place next Saturday on November 5th from 11:00 – 2:00 pm at Little Elm Park. It will be a fantastic day filled with fun, games, and food! Also, please consider donating a bag of candy to your student's classroom as this is needed for prizes. If you are interested in helping in other ways or donating to assist our event, please contact your student’s teacher or call the front office.
And remember, NTxCA is more than a school!
Thank you and have a fantastic Bulldog week!
