Wildcat Roar

Dear Wildcat Families,

As we reach the end of the school year, we are filled with gratitude and pride. It’s been amazing to witness our students grow, learn, and support each other. Their passion, hard work, and enthusiasm have made this year truly a great year.

This week, we’ve had the chance to honor our incredible teachers during Teacher Appreciation Week, and we thank you for joining us in recognizing the heart and soul they pour into our classrooms every day. Their dedication has made a lasting impact on our Wildcats.

Looking ahead, the final two weeks of school will be filled with moments to celebrate such as water days, classroom parties, and end-of-year awards are just around the corner! We encourage you to stay connected with your child’s teacher for specific details and check the flyers included in this newsletter for key dates and reminders.

Let’s finish the year strong by celebrating our students' achievements, creating lasting memories, and embracing the Wildcat spirit!

Warm regards,

Ms. Rodriguez
Principal
Blanco Vista Elementary School

These guidelines establish the minimum number of assignments, projects, and examinations required for each grading period. In addition, these guidelines establish how the student’s mastery of concepts and achievement will be communicated (i.e., letter grades, numerical averages, checklist of required skills, etc.). Grading guidelines also outline in what circumstances a student will be allowed to redo an assignment or retake an examination for which the student

originally made a failing grade. Procedures for a student to follow after an absence will also be addressed.

MEDS AT SCHOOL

If your student needs to take prescription OR over the counter medication during the school day

• I must have a medication authorization from your child’s doctor.
• I also need an emergency action plan for any student with severe allergies, asthma, seizures or any other condition that would require an emergency medication be kept at school.
• Meds must have a prescription label and be unexpired
• New paperwork must be provided to the nurse each new school year
• This applies to ALL medications - even if your student only needs it for a couple of days while at school

Medication Authorizations and Action Plans:

• Medication Authorization (English)
• Medication Authorization (Spanish)
• Asthma Action Plan (English/Spanish)
• Seizure Action Plan (English/Spanish)
