Hello Bush Families!

Next Tuesday is Walk and Roll to School Day. This is a wonderful event hosted by the Woodlands Township. There will be mascots and chalk activities for students to participate in when they arrive to school. The Township does a wonderful job with this event. If you would like to participate, you may park at the Woodland Oaks Church and enter the Bush playground at the gate on Crownridge. The event will be from 7:30-7:55. We hope to see you all Tuesday morning!

Next Thursday is also our Storybook Character Parade. This is an awesome event for students and staff to celebrate our love for reading. If you would like to attend, please park at the Woodland Oaks Church and walk to the bus ramp. Parents are welcome to line up around the bus ramp and enjoy the parade of costumes. More information below about the Parade.

Next weekend is also a 4 day weekend for students. We are looking forward to a short break. Have a great weekend, and please feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Go Bobcats!

Referral Requests for Gifted and Talented Testing Referral requests are now open for the Conroe Independent School District Gifted and Talented program. Although the testing will not take place until late January, referral requests are accepted at this time. Referral requests can be made by the parents and/or campus staff. It is recommended that parents of 2nd grade students wait until CogAT scores have arrived before nominating their child because CogAT scores are part of the GT assessment. If you are interested in referring your child, you may want to discuss this with your child’s teacher. Referrals will be accepted October 1- December 19, 2024. You can request a referral form from the front office or the Assistant Principal. You can also find the referral form and other GT information on the CISD GT homepage linked here.

Parents are welcome to have lunch with their child. Due to limited space, we ask that you only have lunch with your student.
