A Message from Mrs. Garrison
We have two weeks of virtual/at-home learning under our belts! Our teachers are continuing to grow and learn in many areas so that they can provide you with quality resources for your children. It has been so uplifting to see all of the great work our students are able to do from home! Thank you to all of our parents who are working hard to continue their child's education.We are here for you, so please let us know if you have needs or if you need help during this time of teaching and learning at home.
Please follow us on Facebook to tune in to our morning announcements, Hump Day Challenges, Freaky Science Friday, and Weekend Warrior Series with our Specials Team. For our Hump Day Challenge, we will have a Social Distancing Egg Hunt in our Powell neighborhoods! Get your eggs ready!
MORNING ANNOUNCEMENTS
Our family announcements on Powell's Facebook page have been amazing! Thank you to all the families who have participated so far. With the extended school closure, we have added dates to our sign up! In the interest of fairness, please do not sign up if you have already participated. We appreciate the opportunity to connect with our families in this way.
INSTRUCTION
I want to again stress that our new normal is going to take some time to adjust to. All of our lessons and district resources are listed below. Just do the best you can and reach out to our teachers and staff for help. If all else fails, JUST READ!
ONLINE TEXTBOOKS
Your child has access to our online textbooks through the CISD SSO. When your child is logged in to the SSO, the textbooks will show up as icons (Stemscopes, Pearson, etc). Log in to the SSO by going to the CISD Homepage and clicking on CISD SSO in the top right hand corner. If your child does not know their log in information, please email your child's teacher for assistance.
REPORT CARDS
Electronic report cards are available for 1st through 4th grade students for the third grading period. Please log in to your PAC account to view your child's grades. If you need to sign up for a PAC (Parent Access Center) account, please click here. If you need assistance, contact Aimee Irby at airby@conroeisd.net. PreK and Kindergarten report cards will be mailed out this week.
GRADES
Our district is working on what grades will look like for our elementary students this grading period. Please do not stress. We guarantee you that this grading period will help your child, not hurt them. We will keep you posted as we receive more guidance.
Stay safe and give your child a big hug from us. We miss them!

Mrs. Nixon's Counselors Corner
The Woodlands Behavioral Health & Wellness Center Virtual Support Groups:
The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may be stressful for people. Fear and anxiety about a disease can be overwhelming and cause strong emotions in adults and children. Coping with stress will make you, the people you care about, and your community stronger.
We are offering free support groups for adults to come together in a safe place (virtually) and discuss how they are feeling and learn strategies to cope with the anxiety, stress and depression during this situation.
We have 2 groups.
The first group is for people to openly discuss their fears and anxiety about the Coronavirus, the economic impact and get meaningful strategies to help you and those around you cope. This group will be held on Thursdays at 5 pm via Zoom.
Please join us via zoom:

The 2nd group is for parents. Your child's school has cancelled due to the coronavirus outbreak, and you are worried about an academic free-fall and/or a home-school free-for-all where you end up playing the homework police all day, every day — while also working from home or just managing all the new social distancing restrictions. Things are intense and you need support and guidance to help you get through. We are offering a free support group on Saturdays via Zoom to help you connect and get practical solutions that will help you through this difficult time.
