Additional Information

If you are interested in advertising your business in our yearbook we have a few advertising slots left. We also have a few slots left to leave a shoutout in the yearbook. visit ybpay.lifetouch.com to sign up for an advertisement or a shoutout.

The school year is winding down! I am looking forward to us finishing strong!! We are planning field trips, events, and activities for the end of the school year. I do ask that you please pay attention to deadlines when information comes out. It is my goal to get information to you as early as possible. With any event my staff is planning, the top priority is safety. I will not tolerate any of our Prep community to not follow guidelines we set in place. At any moment that I feel that our guidelines are not being followed, our event will be canceled. Thank you for ensuring that we are keeping your children safe by following the rules.

I want to ensure all parents remember the expectation to be apart of the Collegiate Pathway. Scholars should not have behavioral issues, have at least a 98% attendance rate, and work towards ensuring all grades are 85% or higher. As a reminder I am providing our process for being placed on probation from the student code of conduct.

Probation process - Collegiate Prep Elementary

1. A Collegiate Student Review Meeting is held. The Review Committee will include a
building administrator, classroom teacher, and the school counselor/magnet advisor
when appropriate. Parents will be notified in writing about the meeting and will serve
as a member of the committee.

2. The Review Committee will develop an individual probationary plan that addresses the
identified area(s) in which the student did not meet Collegiate expectations. The
purpose of the plan is to assist the student in making improvements in the identified
area(s) and for overall student success in the program. If a student is identified for Tier
2 or Tier 3 intervention support, the committee will consider the RtI plan established by
the intervention team.

3. At the end of each grading cycle, the Review Committee will evaluate the student’s
progress and determine whether to remove the student’s probationary status, extend
the probation, or exit the student from the program.

The library’s last day to check out books for scholars will be May 4th. All books must be returned to the library by May 12th at the latest. I will be passing out overdue notices in all classes to remind students which books they owe and how much the fine is if they cannot find the books. All fines must be paid through My Payments Plus after you have notified Mrs. Salgado that you cannot find the books and the we set up the fine. Students will not be allowed to attend the awards ceremony on May 22nd if they have a fine, including a library book fine. Please reach out to Allison Salgado via email at Allison.Salgado@chisd.net if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you for your help in returning these library books and keeping our library running smoothly.

Greetings Prep Family,

My name is Mrs. Tyler-Johnson and I serve as the campus Instructional Facilitator. In my role I'm tasked with supporting teachers and scholars. I will be collaborating with our teachers this school year to help develop effective plans and provide engaging classroom experiences to help all scholars THRIVE. I will also support in the area of small group RLA intervention in grades 3-5. I'm a servant at heart so my desire is to help in assisting all that I serve reach their fullest potential.

Last week we read My Name is Not Isabella by Jennifer Fosberry to celebrate Women's History Month. It is an awesome story about a little girl who pretends to be a multitude of history making women. Library classes discussed the following amazing women: Sally Ride, Annie Oakley, Rosa Parks, Marie Curie, Elizabeth Blackwell, and of course mothers, since they play such a big roll in their children's lives! The kids loved learning about these amazing women.

We won't have library classes this week since we are TELPAS testing in the library, but after Spring Break we will pick up with Malala Yousafzai's biographical picture book. As always, please ensure that your scholar brings their library books back every week. They can always ask their teacher to come exchange books, even when it is not their library day since I have been teaching the scholars how to check in and out on their own.

Thanks for making our library a success and as always, don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!
