Hello Bush Families!

I hope you all were able to enjoy the cool weather this week. Thank you to our wonderful PTO for the Chili Luncheon today! Our teachers and staff greatly appreciate everything you do for us.

Monday is our Chick Fil A Spirit Night and the Bucks for Bush Kick Off Rally! We are excited to have our first pep rally of the year with our students, and to get them excited for our Fall Fundraiser. I hope to see you all at Chick Fil A Spirit Night on Monday.

Next Friday is Trunk or Treat. This is one of my favorite events of the year. It is a wonderful event hosted by our PTO. If you are interested in decorating a trunk, please scroll down to the PTO section to sign up!

Have a great weekend!

Referral Requests for Gifted and Talented Testing Referral requests are now open for the Conroe Independent School District Gifted and Talented program. Although the testing will not take place until late January, referral requests are accepted at this time. Referral requests can be made by the parents and/or campus staff. It is recommended that parents of 2nd grade students wait until CogAT scores have arrived before nominating their child because CogAT scores are part of the GT assessment. If you are interested in referring your child, you may want to discuss this with your child’s teacher. Referrals will be accepted October 1- December 19, 2024. You can request a referral form from the front office or the Assistant Principal. You can also find the referral form and other GT information on the CISD GT homepage linked here.

Parents are welcome to have lunch with their child. Due to limited space, we ask that you only have lunch with your student.
