Hello San Jac Families!

Spring has arrived! What beautiful weather we have had the past few days. March is my most favorite month of the year as this month typically spoils us with the beautiful rays of sun, flowers start to bloom, and we can begin to put away our coats and scarves. Its also a reminder that just as the weather changes and evolves, so have we!

This year has brought tremendous growth within each of our students and I could not be more proud of the success we have seen. Our teachers and paraprofessionals have poured their all to ensure each learner has made great strides. They are truly the heroes of our campus! As we journey through the spring, please be mindful of email and text message blasts that will be sent regarding important upcoming events. We want to ensure you know all the wonderful things taking place on our campus and can be a part of them!

Know that I am incredibly thankful for each of you. The achievements we have seen and all the WINS would not have been possible without your support. Thank you so much for all that you do! If you have questions, suggestions, or concerns please reach out to us.

Dr. LaTory Jacobs, Principal

We will celebrate our Rodeo Days on March 7th and March 8th. While this event is for students only, we are still in need of volunteers. Please contact us at the school if you are interested in volunteering and supporting us in making these days a success for our students!

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, March 21st at 12:00 pm and 6:00 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 will be student attendance supports. Please consider coming out to enjoy some refreshments and learn more about the significance of daily student attendance. 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.

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, March 1st our campus attendance was 96.3%!!! Since March 5th is a student holiday, please consider using this day for any appointments or check ups needed. 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.

Election Day is Tuesday, March 5. Be a voter in all elections! Learn more at elections.mctx.org.

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.

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)
