Check out our Leaders of the Pack this week! Their teachers say...

"Brixley shines as leader in our class. She recognizes when others need help, including the teacher, and will step in to fill any needs!"

"When given a direction on the playground, Emma responded with, 'Yes, Mrs. Cook!' She was a leader to her peers, and a role model of respect."

We're thankful and grateful for the acts of character shown by our youth!

Academics + Character = Success

During Texas Public Schools Month, Masons and elementary schools celebrate and encourage reading by asking students to Take Time to Read every day!

Your child will bring home a Take Time to Read calendar for the month of March. Here's how it works:

-Mark the calendar each day your child reads.

-Turn in the Take Time to Read calendar to the classroom teacher by Wednesday, April 3rd.

-Scottish Rite will bring a prize for students who turned in the completed calendar!

It's that easy! We hope you and your kiddos TAKE TIME TO READ!

Surf's up with school breakfast! Let's get more students stoked about free school breakfast! Be sure to view the parent information flyer below! Hawaiian dress up on Friday!

Read Across America Day, also recognized as Dr. Seuss Day, is an annual event that promotes the joy of reading, especially among children. It is celebrated in honor of the birthday of Theodor Seuss Geisel, famously known as Dr. Seuss. Darlene Denton, our amazing Parent-Volunteer Coordinator, coordinated volunteers to read a Dr. Seuss book to every one of our 30 classes this past week! Students were able to learn about some of the contributions of Dr. Seuss and enjoy some of the iconic stories that have charmed generations.

Thank you to our guest readers!

Sandy Hook Promise’s Say Something program teaches students to recognize the warning signs of someone at-risk of hurting themselves or others and how to say something to a trusted adult to get help before a tragedy can occur.

March 1st is Texas Girls in STEM Day! This day marks a chance to celebrate and encourage the participation of girls in this state in fields related to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Texas Girls in STEM Day gives many young girls the opportunity to learn, ask questions, and dive deeper into subjects they may not have been encouraged to explore otherwise.

Academics + Character = Success

The 5th six weeks is a clean slate and brings a new opportunity to earn the 5th six weeks incentive which is BUBBLES and CHALK! Students who have no more than 1 absence OR one tardy earn the incentive!

SGE's ADA for this past week was 94.37%!

ADA stands for Average Daily Attendance and is defined as the total days of student attendance divided by the total days of instruction. "98 IS Great!", so 98% is our goal!

A parent must provide an explanation for any absence within 5 days of the student’s arrival or return to school. The student must submit a note signed by the parent. The campus may accept an email from the parent sent to the school’s attendance clerk, but reserves the right to require a written note. The form below will send an email to SGE's Attendance Clerk and then the campus will determine whether to classify the absence as excused or unexcused.

This information may also be found on the BCISD website:

Parents & Students » Notification of Student Absence
