Due to predicted inclement weather, we are postponing Saturday's activities, but no worries, we are finalizing the details on an even better event on another day!
*The Character Trait for this week is EMPATHY
*Our 3rd thru 8th grade students will be completing their 6 weeks exams this week. For testing security purposes, our campus will not accept guests or visitors during testing times.
*The END of our 2nd Six Weeks of school is Friday, November 4th. Please make sure your student has visited with their teacher to complete assignments and / or make up tests. Grades will close at 3:30 on Friday. Report Cards will go home on Monday, November 7th.
*Parents, please remember that we would like 100% parent participation in our Effective Schools Framework Survey. The link has been sent via text message, email, and can also be found on our Facebook page. Please provide your anonymous input to improve student learning for our campus
*Please remember that our Fall Festival is Saturday, November 4th from 11 – 2. If you have not already done so, please consider volunteering for your class. We are still in need of candy donations so if you can, consider donating candy to your classroom.
*A reminder about attendance! Remember attendance at school is MANDATORY and it’s the LAW! Please make sure your student is at school on time daily! We have had SEVERAL students who arrive to school late and are considered TARDY. To prevent the 3-tardy turn into an absence rule, please make sure your student is on campus and in class at 8:00. Students are considered TARDY at 8:01.
*Parents of students who have missed 3 or more days of school this past week will be receiving Truancy/Compulsory Attendance letters on Monday. You will be required to have a meeting with me to discuss student attendance.
*Don’t forget our morning Pep Up! Our Pep Up was scheduled for last Friday, but unfortunately it rained and we had to postpone our dance! Remember to arrive at school by 7:30 for the GREAT DANCE with our JAGUAR STARS !
These are your Jaguar announcements for this week. I hope you have a great rest of your evening and until your mid-week announcements, gooooooo Jaguars !
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!
