Hi Bush Elementary Families!

Enrollment Now Open for Chess at Bush Elementary (Conroe ISD) via the link below:

KG – 5th Grade on Mondays Beginning January 27 from 3:15-4:30 PM: https://bit.ly/Bush-TKS-S25

Clickable Flyer Attached!

Enrollment is now open for our Bush Elementary Spring Chess Team! Beginners and returning/advanced players are welcome, so come check us out! This year take the plunge and join us as we laugh and train in daily mardi-gras bead chess tourneys and compete for prizes in our daily music-driven chess puzzlers and watch zany chess movies and inter-face and inter-train with hundreds of sister chess teams. There has never been a party-based approach to chess like this, and our unique, kid-oriented philosophy has made us 51-0 in our history, and counting!

Our high-energy chess classes are developmentally and cleverly targeted directly at the KG through 5th-grade set! Come join the fun as kids learn to love learning, learn that they are unspeakably smart, and learn how to absolutely cream their parents in chess! The Knight School is the most compelling, kid-centered chess party in America. Learn more and sign up for our school chess team at www.theknightschool.com or call and chat with Coach Justin at (325) 668-6913.

Thanks so much!

Coach Justin

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.

Parents are welcome to have lunch with their child. Due to limited space, we ask that you only have lunch with your student.
