Fellow Mustangs,
As we enter this season of gratitude, I want to take a moment to thank each of you for your unwavering support and dedication to your child's education. Your hard work, commitment, and trust mean the world to us, and we are honored to be part of your children's educational journey.
At City View, we truly believe in the power of community. We are in this together, like one big family, and it is our goal to foster a sense of unity and togetherness, both in good times and in challenging ones. It’s your engagement and connection that make City View a great place to learn and grow.
As we move through November, I encourage each of us to take time to express gratitude to those around us—whether it's a kind word to a teacher, a note to a fellow parent, or a moment with your child.

Did you know...? Why Daily Attendance Matters:
Missed Lessons = Falling Behind: Even one day can mean missing critical instructions and activities, making it harder for your child to catch up.
Impact on Future Success: Consistent attendance is a strong predictor of academic achievement and future opportunities.
Building Resilience: Regular attendance teaches your child the value of perseverance and responsibility—essential skills for success in life.
Stronger Friendships: Daily presence helps your child develop and sustain friendships, which are crucial for emotional and social development.
Healthy Routine: Attending school every day establishes a stable routine, promoting better mental and physical health.

Transportation Website Information
Go to our website https://www.cityview-isd.net/o/cves and click on the transportation button in the middle of the screen. This will have the Bus google form as well as a map with bus route information. This is still a work in progress. We are hoping to be done soon.
If you are making same day transportation changes with your child, please contact your child's teacher and please do so before 2:00pm. We will only accept emergency transportation changes after 2pm and those will need to go through the front office with our Secretary Ms. Stone.
If you have to making a change for transportation in advance please contact your child's teacher through the parent square app, writing a parent note, phone call, or email.
* NEW : Buses leave the school around 6:50am. Depending on what students are riding the routes each morning/afternoon will determine pick up/drop off times. Please arrive at the bus stop early enough for pick up/drop off. Margin of error on pick up/drop off can be anywhere from 5-8 minutes. Please remain patient with us. Parents are responsible for their children at all bus stops.
Dropoff
Parents may use both drive thru lanes near the school to drop off students. Parents may park on the far drive thru lane (blue) and walk their kids to the entry door. (Red) Lane is for drive thru drop off only. (Yellow) Parents may park in the north parking lot and walk students to the entry doors.
Important Information
If your student has a health condition please make sure you have entered that into skyward. Please communicate this to Nurse Brittany and your child's teacher(s).
Early Childhood parents of student going into Pre-K and Headstart: Make sure to pack an extra set of students clothings. Accidents do happen! This will help us have access to clothes if needed.
Please fill out these forms below and bring them to Nurse Brittany at Meet the Teacher. These forms are if your student takes daily medication. If you want your child to have access to OTC Meds, you must provide those to the Nurse and fill out the mandatory form.
* Contact Brittany LeRoux, School Nurse, for any additional questions (940) 855.2351 ext. 210 or email @ bleroux@cityview-isd.net
