Handicap Parking and Fire Lanes
Hello parents! We know our parking lot space is limited, but please do not park in the Handicap spots or Fire Lanes. In the event that we have an emergency and need the Fire Department, they need access to the fire lane. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
GT Referral Window
Referral Requests for Gifted and Talented Testing Referral requests are now open for the Conroe Independent School District Gifted and Talented program. Although the testing will not take place until late January, referral requests are accepted at this time. Referral requests can be made by the parents and/or campus staff. It is recommended that parents of 2nd grade students wait until CogAT scores have arrived before nominating their child because CogAT scores are part of the GT assessment. If you are interested in referring your child, you may want to discuss this with your child’s teacher. Referrals will be accepted October 1- December 19, 2024. You can request a referral form from the front office or the Assistant Principal. You can also find the referral form and other GT information on the CISD GT homepage linked here.

Texas Native Plant Week
In honor of Texas Native Plant Week, our PTO members gathered in the kindergarten courtyard to transform the raised garden beds into a pollinator paradise. Armed with shovels, gloves, and watering cans, everyone contributed to adding beauty for all to enjoy. The plants, sourced from Lindsay’s Native Plants, a small family-owned business, included salvias, flame acanthus, russelia, Turks cap, and purple leaf sage.
Texas native plants offer numerous benefits, including lower water requirements, low maintenance, support for biodiversity, and aesthetic appeal. A huge thank you to our amazing Environmental Committee and all the volunteers who worked tirelessly to make our kindergarten area even more beautiful! We’re grateful for their dedication to creating a more sustainable and vibrant learning environment for our little ones"
