We’re challenging our 3rd-5th grade students to show up and win big! Each week, the grade level with the highest attendance average (95% or higher) will earn a FREE DRESS PASS for the entire grade! 👕🎟️
Let’s work together to build strong attendance habits and keep our students on track for success. Who will take the top spot this week? 💪
We are excited to introduce a fun new way to encourage attendance for our Kinder-2nd grade students! Every time their class reaches 100% attendance, they will earn a letter. Once they collect all the letters to spell ATTENDANCE, their class will get to celebrate with a popcorn, ice cream, or chip party! 🎈🎉
Thank you for helping us build great attendance habits. Let’s work together to keep our students in school and ready to learn every day!
For each parent who participates in our Enhancing Educational Support for Dual Students classes on Thursday, January 30, 2025, your child will receive a Free Dress Pass and an Eagle Buck. For more information, please refer to the flyer below. Thank you.

**What Parents Need to Know About the 90% Attendance Rule**
Texas schools require students to attend at least 90% of school days to pass their grade or earn class credit.
Here’s how you can help:
- **Schedule wisely:** Try to plan doctor or therapy appointments so your child still attends part of the day or misses less critical classes like gym or electives.
- **Keep records:** Always provide a signed note or doctor’s excuse for absences. Excused absences (like for illness or appointments) won’t count against your child.
If your child misses more than 10% of school days, you will be referred to truancy court.
Remember, even with challenges, your child can stay on track with support from you and the school.
Let’s work together to ensure your child’s success!
Parents, please join us on Monday, January 13, 2025, from 9:00 to 10:30 a.m. to learn how to protect your loved ones from scams. For more information, please call Lupe Armendariz, Parent Liaison, at 915.434.8630.
Your student will earn an Eagle Bucks for your participation. Thank you
Parents we still have jackets, sweaters and lunch bags that are unclaimed. We will only hold them until the end of this week. Bring your ID if you’d like to check for your child’s item.
