The Stallion Stampede
Janie Stark Elementary Parent Newsletter
January 31, 2021
Dear Stallion Families,
We had a wonderful week last week! Over 300 Stallions and their parents joined us for our Virtual Family Literacy Night! We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.
This week, CFBISD is hosting a Virtual Open House on February 3rd. Join us live to see what amazing things are happening at Stark and other schools around the district. This is a great way for 5th grade parents to get information on middle schools and the options available to your child after they leave Stark.
As always, thank you for making Stark the wonderful school that it is and for always partnering with us to make these days the BEST of days for you and your child!
To the BEST of days,
Mrs. Putman

Valentine Parties - February 11th
Please note: Due to safety precautions, we WILL NOT be distributing individual student Valentines this year. Instead each student, remote and traditional, will receive a goodie bag. Please do not purchase and provide individual Valentines this year as they will not be allowed to be passed out.

CFBISD Calendar Change
CFBISD has made a change to the calendar for the 2021 spring semester. This change is for our educators to have additional days to develop and plan for increased student engagement in the classroom. The district has approved four additional professional development and teacher preparation days. This will impact the type of instruction for traditional learners on these days. Traditional students will NOT attend class on campus on the following days:
- February 26, 2021
- March 26, 2021
- April 16, 2021
- May 7, 2021
Teachers will assign engaging lessons to complete asynchronously at home on the days listed above for both traditional and virtual learners. Please reach out to your child's teacher if you need technical support.
Your cooperation and flexibility are appreciated as it allows our teachers and staff to continue to provide the best instructional opportunities for the success of our students.
