Cell Phones & Other Electronic Devices
We've noticed students with devices lately and want to send a reminder regarding this district's position on cell phones and other electronic devices at the elementary level.
"The district permits students to possess personal cell phones for safety purposes; however, these devices must remain turned off during the following times on each campus:
Elementary Schools - cell phones and/or smart watches must be turned off and put away from the time a student arrives on campus through dismissal. Earbuds and headphones may only be used for instructional purposes with a district-provided device." (BCISD Student Handbook 2024-2025, pgs 54-55)
Average Daily Attendance for SGE
Last Week's ADA for SGE: 94.55%
ADA stands for Average Daily Attendance and is defined as the total days of student attendance divided by the total days of instruction. Check out SGE's ADA trends in the chart above.
"98 IS Great!" We'll celebrate as a campus when we hit a week with 98% attendance!
We recognize that illnesses and events take place that necesitate absences, however, we do encourage every student to be in school every day he/she is able. Let's work for 98%!
Caught with Character!
This week we're celebrating two new Leaders of the Pack! Here's what their teachers had to say...
Harper is always quick to encourage friends and help them with whatever they need. Her kindness to others brightens our school.
Maverick is always quick to show kindness and help other students when they are having a hard day. He even let a friend be in line first when it was his turn!
Academics + Character = Success

Scottish Rite: Take Time to Read Program
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 Friday, April 4th.
-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!
Thanks to all who made it for Open House! More pictures on our Facebook page!
