Jack & June Furr Elementary
Growing Leaders! September 6, 2020
Welcome Furr Families!
Another great week was had by all, both virtual students and staff, and In-Person students and staff. THIS YEAR IS OFF TO A GREAT START! This past week ended with Assessment Day. In fact, the whole week was centered around this. The assessments are giving us a baseline on where to meet your child at, when it comes to learning styles, instruction and reading levels. Thank you Parents for your support!
CARLINE PARENTS...Whether its Arrival or Dismissal...WE NEED YOUR HELP! To practice good habits, responsibility, independence and to keep EVERYONE safe, we are needing our students to become independent when it comes to getting in and out of a car and/or buckling in or unbuckling a carseat. To keep you safe, our staff safe and our kids safe, I need your help ...helping our students become as independent as possible in this area. Parents, PLEASE do not get out of your car to help unbuckle or buckle your child. This is a very UNSAFE practice for everyone involved! Safety comes first, for EVERYONE! Thank you for ALL of your help in this matter.
Soon, we will be heading towards a double carline for both back and front carlines at dismissal. More information will be forthcoming!
PTO and Furr Elementary are hosting a SPIRIT NIGHT at CHIPOTLE (6111 Custer Rd, Frisco)..on Tuesday (Sept. 8th). Please come out and support our school! YOU also have the option to order online. It's good food and the money goes to support our students! Please see the flyer below! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!!
I wanted to thank you parents for your patience and grace. Please know that we are in this together as we educate our kids! Thank you for entrusting us with your children so that we can make the world a better place. It starts with us...Be Kind!
