A Message from Mrs. Haymark
Dear Vogel Texans Families,
Thank you to all that participated in our Red Ribbon Week! We appreciate all of your support.
It is hard to believe that in just two weeks, we will being the beginning of the holiday season with our first big break from school. This has been a year filled with so many wonderful celebrations! Our Fall Family Night had it's biggest turn out yet. We were so excited to see so many smiling faces! If you didn't have the opportunity to join us, please look for our next family fun night in the spring. You won't want to miss it!
As we approach our Thanksgiving Break, I have begun to reflect on things that I have been the most grateful and proud. What continues to be a constant is how blessed I feel daily to serve the Vogel community and encounter such wonderful children and families everyday.
Please remember you are vital to the success we seek here at Vogel. So, if you ever have questions or concerns, or would ever like to offer suggestions to support us in any way, please reach out to us.
Christa Haymark, Principal
Conroe ISD to host Salute to our Veterans
The Conroe Independent School District invites the community to join together to pay tribute to the many who have honorably served our country. Please join the combined Armed Services (JROTC) of the Conroe Independent School District in a Salute to Our Veterans. The ceremony will begin at 10 a.m. on Friday, November 11, at Woodforest Bank Stadium.
Each high school JROTC will demonstrate a special skill for their unit and participate in the Military Pass in Review. The Woodlands High School Choir will also perform the national anthem and other patriotic tributes on the field.
We invite all veterans and members of the community to share in this patriotic event as we honor our veterans for their service and sacrifice. Veterans in attendance will receive a Conroe ISD JROTC challenge coin as a small token of appreciation for their service. This event will also be livestreamed on the Conroe ISD YouTube channel.

Parent Access
The most frequently asked question we get at the beginning of the year is how can I help my child be successful in intermediate school. The transition to intermediate can be challenging for some kiddos. The best thing a parent can do to support their child is to help them build organizational systems. Some students have trouble juggling the increased number of teachers and assignments. Help your child get into the routine of checking for work inside their flexi-folder every night. Look at graded assignments that are sent home to see if there are concepts your child is struggling to master. And sign up for a Parent Access account to monitor your child's grades. If you see zeros or "Z"s in the gradebook, it means that your child has not turned in their assignment. Encourage them to complete the work and turn it in. It's never too late to turn work in or too early to start building good study habits. If you don't have a Parent Access account CLICK HERE to register. Your involvement in their education is important. If you have questions on how else you can support your child, please reach out to your child's teacher or one of our school counselors.
Car Rider Reminders
2. All parents/guardians picking up in the afternoon must have 22-23 Vogel car rider tag. If you don't have a car rider tag for pick-up, please be prepared to show your ID.
3. There is NO left or right turn into the school drive when traveling on Geffert Wright. All cars entering the drive must cross over Geffert Wright from car rider line across the street from the school. Cars coming from Hanna or Maplewood all access the car rider line near the transportation building. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
Student Check-out and Dismissal
As a reminder, parents who elect to check students out of school must do so before 3:30 pm. The afternoon is a busy time preparing for dismissal. We want to ensure that all changes get to teachers in plenty of time to inform students. When checking students out, please remember to bring your state issued ID with you. We appreciate all your patience and understanding with this process.
Remember to please refrain from picking students up in front of the school on Geffert Wright Drive or at the semi-circle on the street in front of the bus ramp as this is a safety hazard. The entrance for the car rider line is across the street from Vogel at the Bus Barn.

Drop off procedures for forgotten items
Please help your student be fully prepared for their day by ensuring that they have all needed materials (backpack, lunch, water bottle, etc...) before leaving for school in the morning.
To minimize interruptions to classrooms, please limit drop-offs to the following items:
- Water bottles and lunches may be placed on the Drop-off table before 10:30 a.m. at the front office. These items should be labeled with your child’s name and homebase teacher's name to ensure proper delivery. Students are encouraged to check the drop off table at the beginning of their lunch if they forgot it at home.
- If you need eye glasses delivered to your child, please do not put them on the drop-off table. Bring them to the office staff for immediate delivery to your child.
- Any class work or homework that is dropped off will be placed in the teacher’s mailbox to be picked up during the day.
Delivery of flowers, balloons, etc. to students at school are not permitted.
