Dear Fuller Families,

I know it has been a cold weekend! I hope that you all were able to stay warm and enjoyed an extended weekend at home with your family.

This week we will have two assessments for mid-year data reports. One Wednesday 3rd-5th graders will take their math interim test and on Thursday 5th grade will take their Science interim test. All of this data will allow us to see what areas of focus we need instructionally to ensure the success of our students.

This week, we also celebrate the birthday of our very own Mrs. McCown! Happy Birthday to her and all thank you for all you do for our students!

If you haven't had the opportunity to request a planning guide for our Science Symposium, please do so this week! We can't wait to see all of the fantastic projects our students create for this event!

Looking ahead, mark your calendars for two very exciting events:

1. Fuller Family Literacy Night: On January 30th, we’ll kick off our first-ever Read-a-thon Fundraiser. Funds raised will go toward science supplies, enriching student experiences, and adding a couple of Cruiser stationary reading bikes for our students to enjoy.
   
   
2. Fuller Family STEAM Night & Science Symposium: On February 20th, we’ll host our inaugural STEAM Night, along with a Science Symposium where students can showcase their work in a science fair-like experience. Please see the flyer below for important information and deadlines.
   
   

Thank you for your continued support and involvement in making Fuller Elementary such a wonderful community.

Remember We are Fuller , We are Family!

Please see this video to help with any questions you might have that refer to attendance. Remember... 97% is our goal!!

Fuller Elementary BETA club (similar to a National Honor Society but with service as an important component) is preparing to compete in the state convention in February. Our students are working very hard and looking forward to this new adventure. Some of our students have also already qualified for the national convention in Florida. We are hoping to ease the expense cost on our parents by recruiting small business sponsorships. Please consider helping our community's young scholars expand their academic horizons. Please contact the email(s) at the bottom of the flyer if you are interested. Feel free to reach out to local businesses and friends that may be willing to help out. Thank you!!

5th-grade parents and families, please mark your calendars for the 5th Grade Middle School Registration Night at Aubrey Middle School on Tuesday, February 4th, at 6 pm. At that time, courses and other valuable information regarding the move to middle school will be reviewed by Middle School Administrators and Counselors. This event is for all 5th-grade students and families regardless of which middle school in Aubrey ISD you will attend next school year. Please park and enter through the back of the building. Unable to attend? No worries. Information will be shared via email/newsletter with all families after this night concludes.

How You Can Get Involved:

• Volunteer to speak with students about your career.
• Share what your job involves, the education and skills required, and what you enjoy most about it.

Parents may pay for school lunches online by accessing the myschoolbucks.com tab located on the Aubrey ISD website. Applications for meal benefits may be returned to the campus office.

If you would like information about Online Payment Services, Free/Reduced Applications, Meal Account Restrictions, Meal Account History, etc., please check out the My School Bucks site for more information.

Good attendance is important for many reasons. Your child receives the maximum benefit of education by being in school every day, and numerous studies show a strong link between academic performance and consistent attendance.

A compulsory attendance notification will be sent to the parent if a student has unexcused absences on 10 or more days or parts of days within a six-month period or three days or parts of days during a four-week period. Notice it says “parts of days.” This means that leaving school early, or arriving excessively late in the day, even if the child attended for some of the day, may count as an absence.

In the state of Texas, Pre-K is not required, however, once you enroll your student in school, all attendance laws apply.
