The Locke Hill Roar
September 23, 2024
Greetings from Ms. De Hoyos & Mrs. Contreras
This is our last full week of school for the month of September. We have completed five weeks of school and this year continues to quickly fly by. It's wonderful to walk in the hallways and see our students learning. You can see student work in the hallways, hear student discussions, and so much more. We love our Locke Hill teachers and how dedicated they are to our students and families. When we partner together, our students succeed.
FYI... We will be hosting our Annual LH Trunk or Treat on Thursday, October 24th from 5-6:30 p.m. More info to come!
Here's to a wonderful week filled with fun, family, friends, and learning!

Purple Star Campus Designation
The Purple Star Campus Designation is a distinct honor created by the Texas Legislature to recognize Texas public schools and open-enrollment charter schools that show their support and commitment to meeting the unique needs of military-connected students and their families. Applications to earn the Purple Star Campus designation open in the spring, and the designations are announced in the fall.
This year, we are excited to announce that Locke Hill Elementary School has been named a 2024-25 Purple Star Campus!
Thank you to Mrs. Lopez and Mrs. Solis, our school counselors, for working towards this special honor for our campus.

Attendance
The Texas Attendance Compulsory Law states that students (even in PK and Kinder) must attend 90% of the school year in order to be considered for promotion to the next grade level. This means that students can not miss more than 17 days of school (excused and unexcused absences count towards the 17 absences).
Students who arrive after 9:00 a.m. are counted absent for the day. If you wake up late and your child is going to arrive after 9:00 a.m., we encourage you to still bring them so they do not fall behind in their academics.
If your child is absent from school, please send in a note with the following information:
-Student's first name and last name AND student ID number
-Student's grade level and teacher
-Date(s) of absence
-Reason for absence
-Parent Signature
If your child has to miss school for a doctor/dental appointment, have them attend part of the school day (before or after the appointment) and turn in a doctor/dental excuse note. They will be marked present and not absent for that day.
