CAST STEM Parent Newsletter
December 2, 2022
Dear CAST STEM Families,
We are looking for 12 parent volunteers on Wednesday, December 14 from 11:30 am - 1:00 pm. Our teachers will be having a Christmas luncheon on that day so we are looking for parent volunteers to stay with advisory classes so the teachers can have an extended lunch together. If you are available and would like to volunteer your time, please let me know (jarodriguez@swisd.net). We will also need you to complete a background check, which can be found on our district website. This link will take you directly to the volunteer application site. Thank you to those parents who have already reached out and completed their volunteer application!
Congratulations to our theatre super stars! The inaugural induction ceremony for Thespian Troupe # 10495 was held this past week. Pictures from the event are posted below.
Have a great weekend!

Attendance Recovery
Texas law requires students to be in attendance for 90% of the instructional time in order for them to earn credit. We have students who have exceeded this and are now in danger of losing credit for their classes. These students were notified about making up hours after school beginning November 29th. Attendance recovery will be every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 4:30-5:30 p.m. Please encourage your students to attend class every day and make up any hours that may be required. If you have questions, please contact the front office.
