News from Ms. Ricks, Principal
Hello to the month of October! From this point forward, 2024 will likely fly by quickly! Our Explorers are continuing to dazzle us with their positive attitudes and desire to learn! Our staff is highly dedicated and it has been great seeing staff/student relationships strengthen since the start of school!
October brings fun events such as our Book Fair, which will be open next week! PE Night, which is tonight is another fun, very active event that is always a hit for our first graders! We would like to thank our PE coaches and our First Grade Team for attending! Also, our PTA kicked off campus Fun Run events today! Please be on the look out for information regarding our PTA sponsored Fun Run; this event is a blast so you don't want to miss out on participating!
In the sections below, you will find the latest campus and PTA news! Please review carefully and if you have any questions, please reach out to the front office by calling 281 234 1700. We appreciate you all very much! Have a wonderful rest of your week!
New Procedures Regarding Lunch Visitors
It has been great seeing so many lunch visitors! As a reminder only parents/guardians, non-school aged children and immediate family listed on the 24-25 Lunch Visitors Parent Permission form are able to visit for lunch. Due to limited space, visitors are limited to 2 visitors per student. Please note the following: Each parent must sign up for their own seat and a separate seat for any non school age siblings. PLEASE REMEMBER when signing up to include your child's name and teacher in the comments. All visitors must show a physical, hard copy government issued ID (driver's license or passport) when you arrive for lunch. We ask that each student be limited to having a lunch visit one day per week to allow all Explorers the opportunity to have a lunch visit. If you are not able to come to lunch after you signed up, please remove your name from the list. Also, please be aware that a few minutes prior to your child's lunch time ending, the monitors will direct your child to join his/her class; this helps with making our cafeteria exit procedures run more smoothly. The following links will guide you in signing up for lunch times to visit your child and with providing lunch visitor permission. Please call 281 234 1700 with any questions. Thank you!
