Parking Lot/ Drop Off Lanes Safety Reminders
- Please do not drop off your students at the corner of the bus lane stop sign.
- Our second lane closes at 7:35 to allow teachers to get inside for classes starting at 7:40. Please drop your student off on the sidewalk side. As soon as you reach the gate, please have your student ready to unload. We should be able to unload 10 cars at a time.
- All eyes on kids and traffic. Avoid being on your cell phone in our parking lot and drop off lanes.
Thank you for helping us keep our students safe!
Counselor Corner
March Guidance:
As we move into the Spring, we see more tutoring and testing. Both teachers and students are working hard to prepare for end-of-year assessments. This is the time of year when stress levels can be higher. March guidance will focus on effort, perseverance, and strategies for coping with stress/anxiety. We will also take a special look at nutrition, brain, and sleep awareness.

Orange Card
The orange card is a safety requirement for picking up a child at Brock. Please have your card with you daily. If you do not have a card, please let the office know. Without an orange card, we will have to have an identification check.
Thank you for helping us keep our students safe!
Attendance Matters
Our School Wide Attendance Goal for the Year is 97%
Attendance Incentive- The classroom is working on spelling out ATTENDANCE. Each day everyone is in attendance (including the teacher), and the classroom earns a letter of the word. Once they spell out ATTENDANCE, the class will celebrate! The teacher will decide on the celebration in his/her classroom.
The winning grade level each week will earn a special dress-up day: Hat Day, PJ Day, etc. Teacher choice for Friday of the following week.

Instruction starts immediately at 7:40 a.m. If your child is consistently absent or tardy, they will have gaps in their learning.
Attendance and tardy letters will be sent home with students and emailed to those who have chronic absences and /or excessive tardies. Per Tex. Educ. Code § 25.093, truancy will be filed on chronic absences. If you need support, please reach out to Mrs. Taylor.
