SA3 Parent Newsletter

At our school, student safety is a top priority. To strengthen our safety measures, we are implementing the following procedures effective immediately:

• All interior doors, including classroom doors, must remain locked at all times during the school day.
• Students are required to wear their school-issued ID on the lanyard provided. Please remind your son or daughter to wear their ID daily.
• No drop-offs (food, supplies, etc.) are permitted during the school day for any reason.

Your cooperation in reinforcing these measures at home will help us maintain a safe and secure environment for everyone. Thank you for your support!

Consistent attendance is key to success in high school. Being present ensures students don’t miss out on important lessons, discussions, and activities that build knowledge and skills. Every day matters, and regular attendance helps students stay on track academically and prepares them for future success! Students must be present at least 90% of the days in a grading period to avoid losing credit. Attendance matters!!! Please review the attached flyer for more details about our exciting Attendance Celebrations!

We invite you to join us this Wednesday for Meet the Teacher at SA3. Come meet your student's teachers and learn about the exciting learning happening on our campus!

Additionally, we will be hosting a Senior Parent Meeting at 5:30 PM in the Gym Annex, where you'll have the opportunity to meet with college recruiters. All parents and students are welcome to attend. We look forward to seeing you there!

We’re really excited about our upcoming Club Fair, and we’d love for every student to come and see what’s available. Joining a club or organization is such a great way for students to meet new friends, explore their passions, and make the most of their high school experience. Plus, it gives them a sense of belonging and something fun to look forward to!

Our district, in partnership with Wonderful Citrus, is excited to host the 3rd Annual "Wonderful Citrus Run for Autism, and we’d love for you to be a part of it! This is a great opportunity to come together as a community, show our support, and promote awareness and acceptance of all students with Autism across Sharyland ISD.

We’re encouraging all Cobras to participate—and here’s a fun incentive: the campus with the highest number of student participants will receive a special surprise treat! Plus, all students who participate will earn community service hours.

Join us for this amazing event, and let’s show our Cobra pride in supporting this important cause!

Building Resilience in Your Teen: Strategies for Success

As teens navigate high school, they will inevitably face challenges and setbacks. Building resilience is key to helping them overcome obstacles and grow stronger. Encourage your teen to view challenges as opportunities for growth, rather than failures. Help them develop problem-solving skills, manage stress through healthy coping mechanisms, and maintain a positive outlook. By fostering open communication and offering consistent support, you can empower your teen to bounce back from adversity with confidence and resilience. Together, we can equip them with the tools they need for lifelong success.

TOPIC OF THE MONTH: Empathy

Empathy is a key part of Social Emotional Learning, helping students understand and share the feelings of others. By developing empathy, students learn to build stronger, more meaningful relationships and foster a positive, inclusive school environment. Encouraging empathy at home can help your child become more compassionate, supportive, and effective in resolving conflicts.
