SGE hit an Average Daily Attendance of 96.12% this week! This is only the 3rd time our campus has earned an ADA in the 96-point range all year! (Plus also, this was the highest ADA for any of the BCISD campuses this week. But who's counting?)

Last Week's ADA for SGE: 96.12%

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%!

Andrea shows attentiveness in all activities, as well as respect for her classmates and her teacher. Andrea completes all of her work and makes improvements to her work when needed, demonstrating integrity and responsibility!

Eastynn is such a good friend to all. She respects her classmates and all teachers that she interacts with. Her kindness and empathy to others does not go unseen.

Stetson is looking out for others and wants to include everyone. His empathy and leadership has encouraged others to act just like him.

Academics + Character = Success

Dear Parent/Guardian:

Texas Education Code (§38.003) mandates that all first grade students be screened for dyslexia and related disorders no later than January 31, 2025. Prior to screening, all BCISD students receive instructional intervention through the Benchmark Phonics Program. The screening is designed to ensure that all students are appropriately screened, and if necessary, are evaluated further so that reading difficulties will be addressed in a timely manner. The results from the screening will be used to guide instruction at the classroom level, shared with you, and used to determine if additional interventions are required for your student.

If you have any questions about the screening process, please contact Ryan Morris at 512-715-5132

Thank you,

Burnet Consolidated Independent School District

The Big Kahuna party buses are coming to Shady Grove on Thursday, December 19th! Permission slips will be sent home with eligible students next week!

Our annual "Marley Christmas," hosted by Darlene Denton and Quest HS students, will be held on Dec 17the, 18th, and 19th. During this event, Mrs. Denton leads storytime with A VERY MARLEY CHRISTMAS, a book about "a lovable pup with a nose for trouble," students will spend some time interacting with two live dogs!

If your child has allergies or a fear of a dog, please let your teacher know so we can plan a different activity for him/her.

Friday, Dec 20th is our class party day! In order to facilitate safe and efficient check-in and check-out processes, please follow the procedures below.

Your child will bring home a green check-in ticket and a red check-out ticket. These are vital to the procedures, so if you forget them at home, you'll have to stand in line at the office with ID which is a slower process. (Thank you for remaining patient and friendly with the office staff who will be working diligently to assist you in a timely manner!)

Check-In

• The parent/guardian writes the name/s of the guests that will be attending the party.
• The party guests present the ticket upon arrival on campus, are given event badges, and head to the party!

Check-Out (This applies only if your student is checking out from school early on the party day.)

• The parent/guardian completes the red ticket by naming the adult with whom the student will be leaving from the party. This adult MUST be listed in the child's Skyward account. The student will not be allowed to leave with an adult listed who is not on the child's Skyward account.
• Send the red ticket back to school by Monday, December 16th for pre-approval.

Please see the map and follow the procedure outlined below regarding the car pick-up line:

Form one, single-file line on CR 200. Once off of CR 200, you may merge to either the PK/Kinder lane (yellow arrows) or the 1st/2nd grade lane (blue arrows).

If accessing the parking lot, drive past the delineators and enter the driveway via the fire lane (red arrows).

Some drivers are passing the single-file line of cars and entering the driveway via the fire lane for the purpose of cutting into the 1st/2nd grade line. Not only is this unfair to the parents who are waiting in line, it creates a safety concern because these cars are creating a second line, double stacking and blocking traffic heading east on County Road 200.

Thank you for your cooperation and safety mindedness!
