There is always something to be thankful for!
Mrs. McMillian's Moment
Lost and Found
Oh no! Our Lost and Found is filling up, and it is cold outside! If your child is missing a coat, lunch kit, water bottle, or ANYTHING, more than likely it is in our Lost and Found. Please do one of the following by Friday:
- Tell your child to go check the Lost and Found.
- Come to the school in the morning from 7:15-8:00 am.
- For the rest of this week only, Send a Class Dojo message or email to your child's teacher, so he/she can send your child to the Lost and Found.
As long as weather permits, we will pull the Lost and Found Rack outside during arrival and dismissal for the remainder of the week, so it can be easily accessible to parents. If you are carpool and want to go to the Lost and Found, you will need to drop off/pick up your child first, then pull out of the line and park.
Family Feast - 11/17/22 - RSVP
This special lunch is FREE for students, but adults need to pay $5.00 for a tray of delicious food to "GOBBLE" down. Please note that the cafeteria will take cash only, and exact amounts are preferred. Bills larger than a 20 will not be accepted.
WBE's Lunch Schedule
Family Field Trip to The Children's Museum! November 17th - TIME CHANGE - 5-8 pm
~This message is only for families that have already RSVP'd for the event.~
WBE will be taking a Family Field trip to the Children's Museum Houston on Thursday, November 17th! We will load up the school buses at WBE and head to the museum to have some fun as a family! Remember that this is a Family Field Trip, so all children must be supervised by an adult to participate. No students are allowed to be dropped off.
***IMPORTANT UPDATES***
According to HISD's transportation policy, no one under 5 years old will be permitted to ride the bus. If this affects your family, meeting or following us there are other options. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Also, in order to have more time at the museum, the buses will be leaving at 5:00 pm,
and we will return to the school by 8:00 pm.
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
(No School Next Week)
Attendance
Please also keep in mind that the Texas Education Agency (TEA) recently updated its rules around attendance. In the past, students with unexcused absences totaling more than 10% of class meetings were retained for summer school. They have changed the policy so that now students with any absences, excused OR unexcused, totaling more than 10% of class meetings (around 18 days total) will be retained and required to attend summer school.
Let's end the rest of the year strong. If your child is healthy, please send him/her to school every single day!
