Hello Suns Families!

Please take the opportunity to read the information in the newsletter. There are lots of important updates and information to question you may have. Don't forget we have our Title I Literacy Night, Spring Book Fair, and Spring Pictures all scheduled for this month! It's a busy time of year for us at SJE and we are excited about it all!

We want to celebrate our amazing school counselor, Ms. Rieke during National School Counselor Week! On next week, let's dress as suggested below to honor her! We appreciate all that you do for our school Ms. Rieke!

Spring Pictures are scheduled for February 14th. I will share this with parents in the newsletter that will be sent this month. Please provide this information with your parents using your communication platform.

Sci-Tech is upon us! We are so excited to see the fun hands on science lessons presented by students! Please review the attached flyer below for more information.

We will celebrate Kindness Week February 19th-23rd. Please refer to the information below for dress up days! You know we are ALL ABOUT dressing up at SJE and there is no better reason to do so than kindness!

We will be hosting a Chat and Chew every third Thursday of the month to provide information to our families of the educational resources available to them. Our next event is scheduled for Thursday, February 15th from 12:00 pm-1:00 pm. A flyer will be sent at a later date for you to register if you plan to attend. We will also have a Zoom session available. Our focus for this event will be Providing Behavior Supports. Please consider coming out to enjoy some refreshments and learn various behavior intervention strategies. If there are questions, reach out to Mr. Henry.

As we continue to prioritize the safety and well-being of our students, faculty, and staff, I would like to take a moment to remind everyone about the importance of maintaining a safe and secure environment within our school community.

Creating a safe and supportive learning environment is a shared responsibility that involves the collaboration of students, parents, teachers, and staff. We encourage an open line of communication to ensure that everyone feels comfortable reporting any concerns they may have regarding the safety of our school community. If you witness or become aware of any potentially unsafe situations, activities, or behaviors, please do not hesitate to report them immediately. Your input is crucial in helping us address and resolve issues promptly. We take all concerns seriously and treat them with the utmost confidentiality.

To report any safety concerns or incidents, please use the following channels:

Speak directly to a teacher or staff member: If you feel comfortable doing so, approach a teacher, staff member, or administrator in person to share your concerns.

Submit an anonymous report: We understand that some individuals may prefer to remain anonymous when reporting concerns. You can use our confidential reporting system, Anonymous Alerts, to submit your information without revealing your identity.

Contact Conroe ISD Police: 1-888-KID-CHAT

Contact our Campus Resources Officer: You can send an email to Officer Kimberly Kidwell at kkidwell@conroeisd.net if you would like to report concerns via email. Please be sure to include as much detail as possible.

Please review the flyer below for information related to our upcoming Title I Literacy Night. The event is scheduled for Thursday, February 15th from 5 pm-7pm. We hope to see all our families there!

This is a reminder to please refrain from parking in the fire line at any time while at San Jacinto. We understand that parking in this zone allows quick access, however it does pose a safety hazard in the event emergency professionals are needed on campus. Thank you so much for your support!

Our student's daily attendance is of significance to us at San Jacinto. When students are out, they miss valuable instruction that cannot be recovered. In an effort to partner with you, we now allow a one hour drop off window from 7:00 am-8:00 am to ensure all students are here on time to begin their day. We understand that when students are ill they need to remain home to recover. However, aside from illness, please ensure students are here each day before 8:00 am. Our Campus Improvement Plan attendance goal is 96%. On Friday, February 2nd our campus attendance was 92%. Please click the link below to learn more about the attendance protocol at SJE. We greatly appreciate your support!

Please remember if you would like to check students out of school, our cut off time to accommodate those requests is 2:30 pm. Let us know if you have any questions.

At San Jacinto Elementary, the safety and well being of all our students is a top priority. Please remember when you enter the property to drop off students or pick them up, the use of cell phones is prohibited. Also, please have students exit or enter cars on the side closest to the building where our staff members are located for support. If you are unable to have students exit or enter cars on the side closets to the building, we ask that you please park and walk students in the building or enter the building during dismissal to receive them. Lastly, if your students are unable to enter or exit the vehicle independently, you will be asked to park and walk them inside at the front office or pick them up from the front office at the end of the day. For safety, staff members are unable to physically place students in/out of cars. Thank you for your support and understanding.

School Counselor Week will be celebrated February 5th-9th. We appreciate our very own Ms. Rieke for all that she does for our students, staff, and campus!

The Conroe ISD Board adopted new guidelines regarding student cell phone use during the October Board meeting. While it is not a substantial guideline change at the elementary level, there are changes in which parents need to be aware. Our Foundations team has worked to create a plan to help ensure that these procedures are being implemented on our campus and that we are helping students adapt to these changes. The student handbook is currently being updated to reflect these changes. The new guidelines state the following:

• Cell phones and smartwatches may be used respectfully and responsibly before school and after school.

• Cell phones and smartwatches should not be used to capture video, audio, or images at school or on the bus.

• Cell phones and smartwatches should be set on silent mode and kept in backpacks, lockers, or other designated storage areas and should not be visible during school hours including instructional time, reward time, free time, lunch, and in the hallways.

• Use of cell phones and smartwatches may be permitted in extenuating circumstances with permission from a staff member. (ex. to notify parent/ guardian of a late bus)

Conroe ISD is hosting YOUniversity, Saturday, March 2, 2024. This is an event for the ENTIRE family and community. Please come out for family engagement presentations, food trucks, fun, and free community resources.

The committee's efforts for establishing the 2024-2025 elementary attendance boundaries related to the opening of Janet K. Bartlett Elementary School are continuing. Updates, FAQs, and summaries of the public meetings on the process are accessible at www.conroeisd.net.
