Booker Bengals,

Thank you for your hard work as we start the new year! Transitioning back to our routine can be challenging, but your efforts have created a great atmosphere for teamwork and collaboration.

The TEA Accountability system has changed, and despite the challenges we faced last year, we made impressive progress! Moving from an "F" to a "C" rating is a huge achievement, and we applaud our staff for their dedication. Even with a "D" rating, we believe our talented students and committed staff can achieve a "B" rating this year.

To reach this goal, we need to focus on two key priorities: improving academic success for all students and ensuring a safe environment. This requires all of us to commit. Let’s work hard on academics and celebrate our students' progress and achievements along the way!

This semester holds great potential, and together, we can do amazing things. By building trust and a problem-solving mindset, we can promote growth and success. I’m dedicated to this mission—are you? Let’s embrace the challenge of being data-driven and student-focused to make a lasting impact on our school's success!

I look forward to another awesome semester serving you and your child! Together, we are better!!

Sincerely,

Keisha Womack

Principal

A Targeted Improvement Plan (TIP) is a strategic plan that helps schools identify and address gaps in their systems and practices. The goal of a TIP is to achieve the campus's vision and improve student and leadership outcomes.

Provide feedback on how we can improve student achievement through building capacity in instructional leadership. Use the quick reference guide to help you understand Instructional Leadership from a parent/community member perspective.

Instructional Leadership: Defining the Importance

Instructional leadership is the process where school leaders, like principals and teachers, guide and support the teaching and learning happening in their schools. Their main goal is to help improve student performance by ensuring that teachers have the tools, resources, and support they need to teach effectively.

How Instructional Leadership Enhances Student Performance

When school leaders focus on instructional leadership, they create a positive learning environment. This includes:

• Setting clear goals for student learning.
• Providing professional development opportunities for teachers.
• Encouraging collaboration among teachers.
• Using data to track student progress and make informed decisions.

By doing these things, instructional leaders help ensure that students receive high-quality education, which ultimately leads to better academic outcomes.

Ways Parents Can Help

Parents play an essential role in supporting instructional leadership. Here are some ways they can help:

1. Stay Informed: Keep up with school updates and understand the goals set by school leaders.
2. Communicate: Share feedback and ideas with teachers and school leaders about what works best for your child.
3. Participate: Get involved in school activities and meetings to show support for educational initiatives.
4. Encourage Learning: Reinforce the importance of education at home by helping with homework and promoting good study habits.
5. Prioritize Student Learning: Work with school staff members and be mindful of the work that has to be done. Keep learning the priority and minimize distractions that may pull teachers or administrators away from instruction.

By working together with school leaders and teachers, parents can contribute to a thriving educational environment that enhances student performance.

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.

You can also call for assistance 281-891-8750.

It is important for us to communicate with you. If you would like to meet with any administrators or teachers, please be sure to contact us in advance to schedule a meeting so that we can best serve you. Often times we are in classrooms meeting with our students and providing strategic instruction, meeting with our staff, or attending off-campus meetings.

We appreciate you scheduling an appointment, in advance with the campus secretary in order to avoid a long wait or a return to trip our campus.

Thank you for understanding, it is greatly appreciated.

Parents...

We are looking for volunteers and parents who are interested in supporting our scholars and staff this year. There are many ways to get involved. You can get involved behind the scenes, holding a PTO Board Office, volunteering at campus events, or so many other ways. Please complete both forms below:

BOOKER VOLUNTEER FORM 24-25 Spring ISD Volunteer Form.

It is important to do both forms. One is tailored just for us and specifies what you'd like to do as a volunteer and the other application is a district mandate for all Volunteers in Schools.

Booker Volunteer Interest Form

Spring ISD Volunteer Website

Spring ISD VIP Volunteer application:

We must get you approved by the district before serving on campus as a volunteer. Booker's volunteer interest form is just a way that we can try to track our interested parents and community members on the district's spreadsheet and get them in faster! However, it is not the actual volunteer request form! So, please visit the VIP Website and complete the application! Please call the front office and let the front office know that you have been approve as a VIP for our district! This system will allow us to track your status and get you registered for next year. We would like to start developing our Parent Engagement Team interest to hopefully roll out BIGGER AND BETTER THINGS FOR BOOKER!

Your child will be issued a chromebook for school use only. They will be assigned a chromebook and students must take care of that chromebook. Talk to your child about not allowing others to use their chromebooks or borrow their charges. All chromebooks will remain at school, due to the number of damaged chromebooks and lost cords and the cost. Thank you for your patience and cooperation!
