Soaring with Varnett
The Eagle Chronicle: Week of 08/13/2024
Vaping Awareness & Prevention Reminder
We want to bring to your attention a recent increase in vaping incidents on our campus. This is a serious concern that not only affects student health but also creates significant disciplinary consequences. We strongly encourage you to speak with your child about the harmful effects of vaping and reinforce the importance of making safe, healthy choices.
Additionally, we have learned that some students are bringing vapes from home. If you or other adults in your household vape, please take steps to ensure all vaping devices are stored securely and out of reach of children.
Please remember: vaping, being in possession of a vape, or selling vapes at school may lead to a disciplinary hearing with our Director of Student Support Services. Consequences may include placement in an alternative education program—or, in severe cases, expulsion.
We appreciate your partnership in keeping our school community safe and healthy for all students.
Attendance Matters—Even After STAAR!
STAAR testing may be finished, but learning is far from over! We are still actively teaching, reviewing, and preparing students for success through the end of the year.
📌 Please refrain from picking up students before 10:30 AM unless it’s an emergency.
📌 Schedule all appointments for late in the day to avoid missing important instructional time.
📌 We expect our Eagles to be at school every day unless they are too ill to attend.
If your child must be absent, we truly appreciate receiving a doctor’s note to support the absence. While handwritten notes are helpful, only three handwritten notes are accepted per school year. Any additional absences without official documentation may be marked as unexcused.
⏰ Attendance continues to count—and will be reviewed by the Grade Placement Committee to help determine whether your child is promoted to the next grade level.
Thank you for your continued partnership and commitment to your child’s success!
