October at McReavy Elementary
Saddle Up!
A Note From Your Principal
Howdy Mustang Families!
Our clinic has been busy, busy! We want to remind families that our clinic is ready to support our students who become ill at school and treat urgent concerns. We know the cold and flu season is coming! We’ll be using the 7 B’s chart in our classrooms as we support your students at MES. Nurse Moody will see students who present with symptoms at school, but if illness or injury occur outside of school please assess and seek treatment with your physician. If students have fever or vomiting, we ask them to stay home for 24 hours. If students do not have exclusionary symptoms, we hope to see them at school each day! We do have an October attendance challenge with two other campuses and hope to WIN!!!
Thank you for your support!
Melissa Crosby
From Your Assistant Principal
Dear Mustang Family,
We hope this message finds you well! Over the next few weeks, you may notice changes to our car rider procedures as we implement new accessibility features in the front drive. These enhancements are designed to provide better access for all students and their families during drop-off and pick-up times.
You may see purple cones in the front area, indicating that families with accessibility needs will be utilizing these new features. We are also piloting a new system to improve access to and from the building. We appreciate your patience as you may observe vehicles with purple tags moving in different patterns that we currently have established.
For the safety of all students and visitors, we kindly ask that you do not pass cars that are loading students. Your understanding and support during this transition are greatly appreciated as we work to refine our arrival and dismissal processes.
If you have any questions or concerns about these changes, please feel free to reach out to Alyson Faulkner.
Thank you for your cooperation!
Saddle Up in October!
Attendance
We’re in the midst of an epic attendance competition against a few other schools in WISD, and guess what? We are the reigning champions of the highest attendance rate! 🏆 But to keep our title, we need your help!
This is not just a competition; it’s a chance for everyone to shine! If we win, we’re rolling out an exciting school-wide incentive that everyone can enjoy! 🎊 So, let’s rally together and make sure that every student who is healthy and able is in school every day!
Remember, our attendance time is 9:35 AM each morning. Let’s show everyone the incredible Mustang spirit! We believe in you! Let’s do this! 🌟💪
Counselor's Corner
This October at McReavy Elementary School we are focused on the character trait Responsibility, from our Character Strong Guidance Curriculum. Responsibility is "taking action and understanding the impact of our choices."
All month long we will highlight college awareness through wearing college gear every Tuesday.
We are also taking a stand to be drug free through our "Red Ribbon Week" activities and school dress up days.
This month's counselor guidance lesson is focused on friendships and positive interactions with others. Ask your child about how they can be a good friend to someone new.
Important Dates:
- GT Testing Continues through October 11th.
- Red Ribbon Week October 28th - November 1st.
- College Gear Every Tuesday, All October!
