Please be advised our doors open promptly at 8:10am which means I need your help with early drop-offs. If you are dropping your child off BEFORE 8:10am please advise them not to run, kick any type of playground/balls, hit others or play any type of games that require running/chasing. We have noticed an increase of inappropriate behaviors in the front, and we need your help to ensure these behaviors stop. The front drop-off area is NOT supervised by any staff BEFORE 8:10am. We do have YMCA services conveniently located inside our building with the hours of 6:30am - 6:30pm for your convenience. Please contact the YMCA at (281)392-5055 or jocole.rogers@ymcahouston.org for more information. As always, please let us know if you have any questions/concerns regarding our requests. Thank you in advance for your assistance with this matter.

Greetings Stallions Parents!

I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day weekend! We have only one more Mondays left! Thank you for helping us celebrate all of our FABULOUS staff & sharing their appreciation all throughout the week! You all truly gave some extremely generous, thoughtful & beyond kind gifts to our staff. They are greatly appreciative for ALL your supports & efforts!

Please save the dates for our upcoming events: Celebration of Learning & 5th Grade Celebration Of Learning. If you have not already done so, please RSVP this week. See scan link below. Please continue to monitor our weekly Smore, marquee & checking daily folders for more information. Thank you for your continuous support!

Additionally, please help us prepare & equip our babies for an amazing testing season by providing them with relaxation, restful nights of sleep, healthy breakfast & instilling within them a mindset of achievement. We know ALL our babies are ready to shine brightly! Please see below how we will wear various fashion to support our STAAR grade level scholars.

Lastly, please parents make sure your children arrive to school according our campus morning schedule. Our campus doors open at 8:10 for breakfast. Our school day begins at 8:23am and the tardy bell rings at 8:30am. We have experienced several tardies this past few weeks, and I need your help to make sure students arrive to school early and/or according to the daily school. When your child is late they are missing out on an abundance of activities and learning. It is imperative that ALL children arrive according to the school schedule and our continuous goal is for ALL our children to obtain PERFECT ATTENDANCE! We will celebrate our Stallions & ALL your efforts to ensure this goal is achieved! Please make daily attendance a priority for you & your family!

Let's continue to make this a magical year! Let's Go Stallions!

Thank you & have a wonderful week!

~Ms. Langley

Transportation Changes: Transportation changes must be received in writing by 2:30pm. Please send an email stating the change desired to USECommunications@katyisd.org and include a copy of your photo ID. ALL TRANSPORTATION CHANGES MUST BE MADE WITH THE FRONT OFFICE. Please use the QR code above to make any transportation changes.

Student Delivers: To ensure timely delivery of items such as lunches, water bottles, and homework/assignments, please bring them to the school by 10:00 AM. This helps us make sure your child receives everything they need before their day begins. Thank you for your cooperation!

Early Pick-up: Picking up students before the end of the school day will result in a partial-day absence. If your student has a doctor, dentist, or other medical appointment, please provide documentation from the provider to the front office upon return. Students needing to be picked up early for afternoon / after school appointments must be picked up prior to 3:00pm.

Safety Reminder: Morning Drop Off

Please remember that our morning drop-off procedures are in place to keep students safe. Not following these procedures creates safety concerns for all students being dropped off and for our staff and safety patrol members who are assisting with drop-off in the morning.

• Please drop off students by waiting in the drop-off line. Parking in the front is for parents who either have a scheduled appointment or need to conduct business on campus, not for drop-off. Having extra people crossing traffic in our drop-off line is hazardous.
• Please remind your students to exit on the sidewalk side of your vehicle and remain on the sidewalk.

Attention Parents of Car Riders - PM Dismissal

Please be in the car rider line by 3:35pm so that we can have students ready to meet you in the car rider line. At the beginning of the school year as students learn their car tag numbers, the line can move slower than usual. Within a week or two everyone gets into a routine and our car rider line finishes earlier. Parents who arrive after 3:55pm will be required to park and come to the front entrance with their pickup tag or photo ID in order to pick up your child. Thank you for your cooperation.

Parent/Guardian Lunch Visitors

We are again accepting lunch visitors during grade level lunches. Visitors must be a parent/guardian who is on the student's registration. The parent/guardian may be accompanied by one additional adult.

Please arrive 10 minutes before your assigned time to allow for check-in. Each parent/guardian may choose one day per week to eat lunch with their child. If there is additional demand, we may need to adjust this number. Thank you for your cooperation.

Kinder:10:25-10:55am

Dreambox & Reflex Math

One of our Stephens Elementary expectations is for our students to utilize Dreambox and Reflex Math weekly. These programs are used to supplement all the instruction happening at our campus and help close academic gaps to be more successful in Math. We invite you to have your student use them at home for at least 30 minutes daily. If you plan on completing this at home, please contact your child's teacher if you need assistance with usernames/passwords.

We are excited that the The Texas Department of Agriculture has designated Stephens Elementary a CEP campus for this upcoming school year. This means that all students will be eligible for free breakfast and lunch! Students will be able to receive these free meals regardless of the income status of the home. We ask that parents complete this information during their Power School update, as it may also ensure other benefits for our students.

If your student is a bus rider, look for the white route number on the side of the bus when tracking their bus this school year! And make sure to download the Smart tag™ app from your mobile Google Play Store or Apple App Store! The Smart Tag app allows parents to set their preferred notifications, including when their child’s bus is expected to arrive. You can also see when and where your student boards and exits the bus.

The system will enable parents, bus drivers, and school administrators, to review in real time, when and where a student is picked up or dropped off by a school bus. Student identification (ID) cards for eligible riders will include the SMART Tag ID information. Buses will be equipped with a tablet that will read each student’s ID every time they enter and exit their bus. Parents and guardians will also have access to the SMART Tag Parent Web Portal — a cloud-based platform that will enable them to monitor their student’s ridership and bus route. Parents and guardians of eligible bus riders will receive additional information about the Smart Tag ID system via the email address they have on file with the district. The Smart Tag ID system replaces Katy ISD’s Edulog Lite App
