A note from Mrs. Cureton:
We've had a great week of learning in Cougar Nation! Next week is the end of our first 9 week grading period. Thank you for trusting us to educate and love on your amazing kids these past 9 weeks of school. We can't wait to see what all our kids accomplish these next 9 weeks of school!
Our fall break is fast approaching! Students will be released at 12:30pm on Thursday, October 13th, and will not have school on Friday, October 14th. If your student attends Boys and Girls Club after school, they will not be open on Thursday, October 13th--please make plans to have your student picked up from school at 12:30pm. Our students that normally ride Tyler ISD busses home, will ride the bus home at the early release time.
PTA is collecting bags of individually wrapped candy for our Fall Festival! If you are able to donate a bag of candy for the festival, please send with your student to school. We will be collecting bags of candy from Tuesday, October 4th--Thursday, October 20th.
Spirit Gear:
Unfortunately, the company PTA is using for spirit gear does not have their online ordering site functioning at this time. Therefore, PTA will only be able to accept spirit gear orders via the paper forms that were sent home with your students earlier this week. The new order deadline date is Monday, October 18th. Spirit gear will be delivered sometime in early November. Please bring your completed forms, with cash or check payments, and place in the PTA box in the front office.
Have a great weekend!
-Sarah Cureton, Principal
Cougar Nation Reminders:
--Please drop off by 7:50am. Our tardy bell rings at that time & we want our Cougars ready to learn with us! The cafeteria entrance is open from 7:00am-7:50am. Any students arriving after 7:50am must come to the front entrance and be checked in at the front office by an adult.
--All visitors must check in at the front office and have a valid ID with them.
--We cannot release students after 2:30pm due to dismissal procedures. If you have appointments, please make arrangements to pick up by this time or you will be asked to wait until dismissal at 3:10pm.
