Tweens Read is a book festival that celebrates and promotes reading. After being online for the past two years, the authors were finally back in person and ready to get their “read & write on”. Thank you, Mrs. Simms, for taking the students to see the people behind the books.

The Book Fair will be hosted in the library this week from 8:20 – 4:15, Monday – Friday with a special night on Thursday. When you come out to support our Lady Eagles take on Space Center Intermediate stop by our book fair from 5-7:30 pm. To help make your life easier set up an e-wallet account; this awesome feature allows your student the convenience of cash-free shopping. Come stop by your book fair.

It's that time of year again. We need donations for the CCEF silent auction gift basket. This year's theme is "Caffeine Fix"!!! This is the time to donate anything caffeine-related: tea, coffee, food, candy, coffee and tea shop gift cards, coffee makers, coffee grinders, cups, teapots, and anything else caffeine-related that you know and love. Please bring your donated items or money to the office. All items and cash donations will be accepted till Friday, October 21st. Mrs. Collins, in the office, will put the donated items and money together to create an awesome basket. The baskets from CCISD schools will be part of the silent auction to benefit CCEF. Clear Creek Education Foundation supports CCISD by awarding grants to teachers for classroom and teaching enhancements and so much more.

Thank you in advance and have a wonderful week!!!

GRACE PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 29.

If your child received F&R program services last year, but you have not submitted your application for this year, you child will be removed from the program by Child Nutrition . This means that your student will not be able to purchase breakfast or lunch on campus without cash-in-hand or a SchoolCafe account from you. Please make sure that you have re-upped your child's account ASAP if you need these services.

How to Apply

To qualify for benefits, a parent/guardian must complete a F/R Benefits application each year. Please only complete one application per household.

Online Applications may be completed online here. Please use the following link for detailed instructions on completing the online application:

• How to Apply for Free and Reduced-Price Meal Benefits Using the Online Application
• Cómo solicitar beneficios de comida gratis o de precio reducido usando la aplicación en línea

Parents are welcome to visit the Child Nutrition Office to apply online. Our office is located at 2145 W. NASA Blvd., Webster, TX 77598.

A new application MUST be completed each school year. Students who participate in the Free and Reduced-Price Meal Program in Clear Creek ISD during the previous school year will continue to receive the same benefits for the first 30 days of the new school year or until a new application has been processed. After the first 30 days if a new application has not been received and processed, the student will return to full-pay status.

Free and Reduced-Price Meal Applications may take up to 10 operating days to process. Online Meal Application processing will result in a faster response time. Parents will be notified by email or letter once the application has been processed. Students not on the free or reduced-price meal program will be charged for all meals until the meal application is processed and approved. Payment for those charged meals will be required.

Proof of residency, required each school year, can either be turned into the front office, or emailed to ccollins@ccisd.net (include the student's name in the email).

Acceptable proofs of residency are:
• Current electricity, gas, or water utility bill in the name of the parent/guardian.
• Mortgage payment coupon, or deed to a house in the name of the parent/guardian.
• Current signed lease in the name of the parent/guardian.
• Current residency affidavit

Proof of residency is past due! Students who still do not have proof of residency on file will not be able to attend classes after October 11.

Not sure if we have yours? Please email ccollins@ccisd.net

EAGLE MONTHLY INCENTIVES PROGRAM

The Eagle Monthly Incentive is separate from the Eagle Yearly Incentive Program. Each month, Eagles that take care of their Academic, Attendance, and Behavioral Responsibilities within that month will receive a small incentive. For the Monthly Incentive Program, ALL Eagles that meet the following requirements will receive the monthly incentive reward.

• Must be passing on the most recent grading period within the month only (Academic Responsibility),
• Must not have received ISS, or greater, within the month only (Behavioral Responsibility),
• Must have 2 or less total absences within the month (Attendance Responsibility).

We encourage all Eagles to attend and support our Eagle Teams by attending as many events as possible to root them on. (We also encourage our parents to attend with them as well.) If you send your Eagle by themselves to CLI Athletic Games this is acceptable, however, we do have expectations to ensure that our events remain safe for all. Please note the following:

• Students must meet the requirements to attend the event,
• Students attending independently must have their badge to get into the event,
• Students are expected to follow all campus and district rules,
• Students are not able to leave and then re-enter,
• Students will be given 1 warning for any behavior not aligned with campus and district expectations. On the 2nd offense, the student will be expected to be picked up by their parent immediately.

School safety is our (both home and school) most important jobs within our school. Our district has taken additional precautions for this school year, to which you can review on our district's website (www.ccisd.net). Specifically at CLI, please help support the safety of our campus by adhering to the following:

• It is imperative that you talk to your student every day before and after school. Ask your student what parts of the day they liked the most and what parts of the day did they not like. Although some of our students, at this age, act like they do not 'appreciate' their parents asking a lot of questions, they really do. And, as parents, it is still our responsibility to do so, pushing through the urge to let them opt out of conversations with their parents. How does this help with safety you ask? Staying connected with our children (with open communication being the norm) is an incredible safety support!
• Students will not be able to come in our school building until 8:15 a.m. Please do not allow your student to come onto campus until 8:15 a.m. We do not have adult supervision before 8:15 a.m., therefore any student dropped off before this time will not be supervised, and we highly discourage unsupervised students outside of our school building at any time.
• After school, students are expected to go to the designated place that your family decides (not on campus), unless a teacher has asked them to stay after. If this is the case, prompt pick up is required so that we do not have unsupervised students around our campus.
• CLI encourages everyone to come out and support our after school sporting events. However, students are required to "go home" after school. Students are not able to "hang out" around our campus after school due to no adult supervision available.

Please help support our student/staff volleyball game by donating items for the concession stand. Thank you!

Congratulations to CLIS PTA we have 125 members so far! We have met the requirements for the Head Start Award, the Early Bird Achievement Award, and the Snappy Increase Award. We would love to keep the momentum going and get that Golden Apple Award. This requires 100% of the faculty to join our PTA by the end of November. We know this is a BIG ask but we feel that we can make it happen. Please consider joining our PTA and helping us Back the Future at

www.joinpta.org

If you want to volunteer with PTA or one of the other organizations on campus, including chaperone opportunities, please go to the CCISD website and apply to be a volunteer. Volunteer application (ccisd.net then community. Under the title "Support CCISD" click on Mentor and Volunteer - then on the right you will see a blue box to click on for the volunteer application) This needs to be done at least a couple of days before you want to volunteer at a campus event or chaperone.

Parents can set up a SchoolCafe account for their child by following the link below. Money for breakfast and lunch can be deposited and students will use their identification badge to purchase food from the cafeteria. Depositing money helps parents keep track of their child's lunch money spending and keeps your child from having to keep up with their cash during the day.

The Clear Creek Independent School District has many district-level committees from school safety and student health to educational improvement and finances. To learn more, visit here.

Class fees (usually for electives) may be paid by cash or check to your student's teacher now. Payment for fees shown in Skyward can be made online by credit card.

Cell phones continue to be a major distraction during the instructional day for a majority of school-age students. While current District policy allows students to bring their cell phones to school, students at Clear Lake Intermediate will be required to put their phones on silent and in their backpacks when entering into our school building. Students will not be allowed to have cell phones and/or ear buds in their ears throughout the day.

Eagles are expected to model Core Values at all times. By placing cell phones out of sight so that you can stay actively engaged in your own learning, you are demonstrating Responsibility and Respect. For students who choose not to comply, your phone will be confiscated by your teacher and returned at the end of the school day. Multiple infractions will result in disciplinary consequences.

Do you know how to help your student with the various online platforms he or she might need to be successful in intermediate school? Here are some resources to help you and your child.

For STUDENTS:

Login to the CCISD SSO Portal

The SSO portal makes logging in to other applications more seamless. The portal has links to all the main web tools you will need (Skyward, itsLearning, textbooks, etc.).

https://ssoportal.ccisd.net/

* You should use the same username and password that you used to login to your laptop.

Finding your classes in itsLearning**

Once you login to the SSO portal, you can click on the itsLearning app, and you do not need to login to ItsLearning separately.

Unsure about what is acceptable dress at CLIS? We follow the CCISD Dress code, which can be found here. Remember that we strive to provide a culture where all students can achieve high levels of learning. If attire is so distracting that students can't learn, we might call you to bring them a change of clothes. While we encourage creativity and individuality, we also want to preserve the learning environment.

Absent excuses should be turned in to Cyd Bourg in the front office. We are encouraging parents to email or fax any absent notes to Ms. Bourg, our attendance clerk, at EagleAttendance@ccisd.net or fax to (281)284-3207 or scan the QR code below. This is in lieu of bringing the note in person. Please make sure your signature is on any notes you submit.

Please see the CLI Athletics website for details: including Rank One instructions, approximate sports season dates, and coaching staff contact information. If you have any questions, never hesitate to let us know!

Respectfully,

Coach Brockmyre, CLI Girls Athletic Coordinator

Coach Milburn, CLI Boys Athletic Coordinator

Football and Volleyball schedules below and individual games listed in the Important Dates section earlier in the newsletter.

Drop off and pick up at CLIS allows for several options that parents can use. Through an agreement with St. Bernadette's Catholic Church, parents can park in their large parking lot located on the El Camino Real side of their building in the afternoons to wait for their children. Please park in a parking spot while you wait for your student. Avoid parking in the small area next to the St. Bernadette Pre-school wing. In addition, we allow students to be dropped off in the front by the flagpole, as well as the back parking lot by the gyms. Please make sure your students know where you will be picking them up BEFORE school gets out. See the map below to decide what's best for your family. PLEASE NOTE - IN MORNINGS AND AFTERNOONS, PARENTS SHOULD NOT USE THE BUS LANE LOCATED ON EL CAMINO REAL before 8:40 am and between 3:15 and 4:20 pm.

CCISD continues to implement and improve upon our anonymous system for reporting safety concerns. These concerns can include safety violations on campus, threats, harassment, bullying and self-harm. Because school safety is dependent upon every member of our community, if you see or hear of something that concerns you, we ask you to report it, or submit your concern using the Anonymous Alert system.

When submitting concerns, please make sure that you report all information (names, description, location, time, etc.) in order to help with a quick response. We investigate every tip submitted.

We also ask that parents and students load the app on your phone. Emergency alerts and school closure information is sent out via this application.
