A note from Mrs. Cureton:

Next week, our PTA is hosting a fundraiser at Marcos pizza! Your students have worked hard to decorate their very own pizza box and are excited for families to purchase a pizza at Marcos, January 17th-19th, and see their artwork! Your student should have brought home a flyer on Thursday of this past week with ordering details. The flyer is also posted below. This is a great way to see your student's artwork and help give back to our PTA. PTA uses fundraiser monies to help with our field day events, student celebrations, and teacher treats!

No School: There will be NO SCHOOL this Monday, January 16th in honor of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. We will see all of our Cougars back on campus Tuesday, January 17th!

Math, Makers, & More Night: Our Math, Makers, & More night is quickly approaching! We are excited to host our families on Thursday, January 26th from 5:30pm-6:30pm. We hope to see you there!

PE Curriculum Survey--Parents: your input is needed

QuaverHealth.PE is the curriculum for your student's elementary health education. Parents can preview the materials by visiting this link: https://apps.tylerisd.org/public/quaverhealth_pe_opt_in_links_fy2023.pdf

Please fill out the following health form to select what you want or don't want your child to learn in class regarding health topics. 

The Health Opt-In Form is located in the Parent Self-Serve Portal at https://frontline.tylerisd.org...

You are your child’s primary educator and the most important influence on your child's health decisions. The QuaverHealth.PE lessons are designed to reinforce what you teach at home. 

If you have questions about the curriculum, please email Hayley Skinner, Coordinator of Health and Physical Education at Hayley.Skinner@TylerISD.org.

Have a great weekend!

-Sarah Cureton, Principal
