Greetings to All of our Spur Families,
It has been a great week here in the land of the Spurs! Below we have some key information.
We were just informed of the following:
Several road closures are scheduled to begin next week that will impact travel times and routes within our community:
East Bailey Boswell Road between Comanche Springs Drive and Sassafras Street is scheduled to be closed from January 19 through January 22. This a project of BNSF Railroad to repair areas around the railroad tracks.
Cromwell Marine Creek Road between Bowman Roberts Road and Cascade Canyon Trail is scheduled to be closed from January 21 through January 29. This is a City of Fort Worth project for road expansion and improvements.
Our Transportation Department is working on alternative bus routes to minimize delays caused by these closures. However, please be aware that there could still be some additional delays due to detours and increased traffic along alternative routes. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
We also encourage families to make note of these closures so you can plan alternate routes and allow for extra time to ensure timely arrivals and departures.
A thank you to all of you who came out to our annual EMS ISD Reading Festival! It was a great success!
The CSES Spelling Bee was held on Thursday of this week, and we are excited to share the outcome.
We are so proud of every child who was part of our spelling bee this year. The winner of this year's bee is Soloman MacGregor, 5th grade; and Chloe Morgan, 5th grade, was runner-up. A shout out goes to Christie Renteria, ELA Interventionist, for organizing this event. She stated, "It was amazing! In 9 years, we have never completed the amount of rounds we had this year! Our students were amazing!" The competition went 22 rounds, and the winning word spelled was "stylistic." A special thank you goes to Jakob Firestone, spelling bee pronouncer, Kelly Taylor, Cynthia Dowell and Wendy Trott, spelling bee judges.
We have also completed our MAP testing for the middle of the year data. Our students worked hard on their assessments, and we will be sharing the growth data once it is returned to us. With the data, we also determine appropriate interventions and extensions for our students. We are excited about the focus of our students and can't wait to share the information on growth.
If you have any questions or needs, please feel free to reach out to our administration team. We are here to serve!
Spur Proud,
Mrs. Liz Hatley and Dr. Linda Parker, Interim Principals, and Mrs. Destiny Womack, Assistant Principal
