CACTUS TRAILS TRIBUNE
Every scholar, every day! December 2021
A Message from Leslie Thomas
Hello Diamondbacks!
Welcome back from our Thanksgiving break. We have three very short weeks before our winter break that will surely fly by! As you are aware Covid cases are on the increase. Parents, we ask that you continue to be vigilant looking for Covid symptoms in your children and remind your children to follow all school safety protocols. Our number goal is to keep our scholars and staff safe. We ask that you remind your child daily to stay safe and healthy by following our school practices.
If you are contacted by our school nurse and your child is quarantined, you will be signed up for remote conferencing. Remote conferencing is online virtual learning that is given by a third party, Proximity. REMOTE CONFERENCING IS ONLY AVAILABLE FOR QUARANTINED SCHOLARS. Please make sure to check you email for directions to Proximity, once your child is officially quarantined.
THERE WILL BE NO DELIVERIES ACCEPTED ON DECEMBER 16th-17th FOR CHRISTMAS CELEBRATIONS. WE ASK IF YOU ARE SENDING TREATS, PLEASE SEND THEM INDIVIDUALLY WRAPPED AND WITH YOUR CHILD. DECEMBER 17TH IS AN EARLY RELEASE DAY.
Parents please go into the Parent Portal on Tyler SIS 360 and complete the Impact Aid Survey. We are asking all primary parents to complete this very short survey.
If you have any questions contact Ann Darnell, adarne@sisd.net.
Please make sure to check our campus web page frequently at sisd.net/cactustrailses as important information is posted there. You can also follow me on Twitter to keep updated and informed about happenings at CTE. Thank you for trusting us with your child and your partnership with Cactus Trails.
Respectfully,
Leslie Thomas
Proud DBack Principal
WINTER BOOK FAIR COMING!
Seasons Readings Diamondbacks,
Our Winter Book Fair will be held next week, Dec. 6-10. All proceeds benefit our school & library!
We are encouraging our scholars to go CASH-FREE & buy their books with E-WALLET. It is an easy, safe & secure way to pay! Follow the link below to set up your scholar's account. You can also set up an account for your child's teacher if you'd like to help add books to their classroom libraries!
Scholars will be able to shop the fair during the school day. Out of an abundance of caution due to the rising number of COVID cases the public will NOT be permitted to shop the fair.
Thank you for your support & for sharing the gift of reading with our scholars!
