Bus Transportation: Smart Tags Required
We are in full implementation of Smart Tags for bus transportation. ID's must be worn in school as a part of dress code and as a part of entering the bus. Students will not be allowed to ride the bus without a Smart Tag ID. Replacement IDs can still be purchased online.
The flyer below also shows the link to download the Smart Tag app to track your student's bus.
Although we begin dismissing busses at 4:25PM, we have busses that arrive later due to multiple routes. You can monitor your child bus route each day to see when it arrives by clicking here. When a bus arrives, the route will appear. When it leaves, the route turns green. Please contact the transportation department with any questions or concerns about bus routes and pick-up times. 281-891-6490. http://www.infofinderi.com/ifi/?cid=SI3EP1SK4WO

Privacy and Data:
Our student ID cards are safe and secure. We use PVC cards with a passive RFID chip containing only a unique identification (UID) number. The UID in the chip is read by our card reader, and our system uses it to reference student information. The latest cloud technology, encryption, and security protocols ensure your child’s information is secure.
Happy Holiday!

Counselor Corner- 7 MINDSETS SEL CURRICULUM
Hello Parents,
Lesson 4.3 Focus Your Energy Students will be participating in SEL lesson using 7 Mindsets. The 7 Mindsets are based on a three year research effort that began with the simple question: What do the world’s happiest and most successful people have in common? What emerged from their research was a set of 7 mental habits foundational to an enriched life. The 7 Mindsets are a comprehensive blueprint for happiness, intentionality and success, written in simple, powerful language to teach and activate success strategies for people to live the lives of their dreams. The 7 mental Habits are: Everthing is Possible, Passion First, We Are Connected, 100% Accountable, Attitude of Gratitude, Live to Give, & The Time is Now. Each week you will get a brief description of each of the 7 Mindsets, along with one immediate action you can take as parents to help instill a 7 Mindsets culture in your home. This weeks topic is : Focus Your Energy-- The people who get the most out of life do the most with the 24 hours each day that we all have. These individuals spend more time doing things that give them energy and use this energy to learn and accomplish what’s most important to them. We must constantly restructure our time in order to get the most out of the moments we have. When we do this each day, we take powerful steps toward reaching our dreams.Sincerely,
Mrs. Jannelle Taylor
