Mrs. Eilers' Kindergarten Class Wins the Right to Dunk Ms. Russ!
Mrs. Eilers' Class Leads the PTO Membership Drive
The fabulous WCHE PTO held a membership drive that ended September 30. And, the PTO promised a special treat for the class with the most new members. The class with the most new memberships won the right to DUNK MS. RUSS!
Mrs. Eilers' Kindergarten class, pictured above, lead the way with the most new memberships. Therefore, on Thursday, October 6, they will have loads of fun dunking Ms. Russ in our official WCHE PTO Dunking Booth. A good time will be had by all.
Thank you to all of our Tiger families who joined the WCHE PTO. We appreciate your support. Thank you, fabulous WCHE PTO, for sponsoring this fun event, and thank you, Ms. Russ, for being such a great sport.

Discovery/Gifted and Talented Program - Parent Referrals Due by October 21
Attention LTISD Parents and Guardians,
The Discovery Program, otherwise known as Gifted and Talented, is now accepting parent referrals for GT Screening via this google form.
Transfer students, who were already identified as GT coming from their previous district, should submit their google form as soon as possible, as the transfer student screening will be set within 30 days of the first day of school. Parents should send proof of their child's selection/participation in the previous GT program directly to the campus GT coordinator.
Parents can submit referrals for screening up until the end of the first 9 weeks, by October 21, 2022. Students will be tested during the 2nd 9 weeks of instruction. If the referral and permission forms are not submitted by the deadline, the student will have to wait until the next year's screening opportunity, as the spring screening session is only for students moving in new to the district after the fall testing window is closed.
The forms and further information about the program can be found here.
Once the request is submitted through the google form, the campus GT coordinator will contact parents via email when the testing dates are set and share additional information. Please plan to attend the Virtual Elementary GT Parent Event on October 14, at 11:30 AM, for an informative presentation about the program along with a Q&A session with your campus GT teacher.
You are also welcome to contact your campus GT coordinator directly, at any time, with questions. The West Cypress GT coordinator is Ms. Natalie Nowrocki.
Thank you,
Amanda Prehn | Director of Elementary Curriculum & Instruction
District GT Coordinator | Phone: 512.533.5761 | prehna@ltisdschools.org
