The Hawk Report
Christa McAuliffe MS Parent Newsletter - Week of Feb. 27
A Message From Our Principal, Mr. Lemon
Greetings Hawk Nation Parents and Students,
Can you believe that we are in the last few days of February? Time really does fly! Our Hawk scholars are hard at work this semester, using the skills achieved in the Fall, applying them to new learning this semester, and preparing for STAAR and beyond. We are truly proud of the growth that we are seeing across the campus!As we continue our journey into the Spring Semester, we ask that you keep the following important updates in mind:
- Spring Open House. Tuesday, February 28th is our Spring Open House; doors open at 5:45pm and we will begin promptly at 6pm. We strongly encourage you to come out and see student performances as well as meet with your student's teachers. While teachers will not be able to speak specifics regarding your student during this time, they will be sharing what the class is working on this semester, and provide ways that you can support your student at home. We hope to see you there!
- Progress Report 6 Grades Posted Last Week. Please review your student's Skyward account and make sure that all grades are passing (70 and above). We are encouraging students to strive for A's & B's as we know that our Hawks are more than capable of high academic success. Should you have a question or concern about your student's grade, please contact the classroom teacher.
- Attendance Matters! Each instructional day is filled with new material and additional opportunities for student growth. It is essential that we have our Hawk Scholars in attendance each and every day, for the entirety of the day. Please remember that Texas has a 90% rule that states that a student must be in attendance 90% of the time to receive credit for a course. Should an emergency or illness arise and your student must be out, please be sure to send a note to Ms. Katrina Taylor, CMMS Attendance Clerk, at Katrina.Taylor@fortbendisd.com, so that the absence can be excused.
- The first week back we reviewed our campus expectations to ensure our Hawks continue to be Hawk PROUD. Feel free to review the presentation with your student, and continue to encourage them to make good choices each and every day.
Let's continue to work together, and please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any questions or concerns. Remember, we are Hawk Nation... Hawk Proud!

CMMS Spring Open House - This Tuesday!
Mandatory Student IDs Are Here!
Students will be required to visibly display their Student ID badge, on the grade-level colored lanyard provided, around their neck, with the picture clearly visible. They are not allowed to deface the ID in anyway, or else they will need to purchase a new one. Students badges will provide access to the following services within the building:
- Cafeteria meal payments
- Library services
- Entrance to campus events (dances, PBIS events, etc.)
In the event that a student reports to school without his/her ID, they will receive a temporary wristband upon entry into the building. After receiving 3 temporary wristbands, students will be required to purchase a new badge for $5.00. ID fees can be paid via RevTrak.
Should you have any questions regarding ID badges, please contact Mr. Brandon Woodard, Assistant Principal, at Brandon.Woodard@fortbendisd.com.
After School STAAR Tutorials
Bring Your Laptops, Daily!
- Please ensure that your student(s) brings their laptop to school everyday (even when they say they don't need to).
- Please ensure that they charge it each night, and bring the charger with them to campus, in case the computer dies in one of their classes.
- If there is anything wrong with your student's laptop, have them report it immediately to Mr. Woodard (6th Grade Assistant Principal) or Ms. Nichols (Librarian).
