Babies!!
Just in case you are out and you see something precious or diapers/wipes on sale - we will be holding a Baby Extravaganza Shower for:
Cody Pruitt and his wife Sarah - expecting a girl in early November
Fogg Machine and wife Megan - had baby Andi in July (need WIPES and diapers)
Meghin Huerta and Nathan - expecting a baby in late November (need diapers - NOT size 1 and wipes)
We are looking at October 24 or 31...more details to come!
Meet the Teacher Tailgate is this Friday.
If you have a tailgating tent, please bring it. If it rains, we will move our tables into the cafeteria. Food is provided by Northlake Church. They will grill outside the caf in case of inclement weather.
Each PLC team will have a table. At it, you should have:
- A sign in sheet
- A handout with important info for parents
- A way for parents to sign up if they would like a conference with a teacher
- A tailgate game
Let me know if you have any questions!

This check DOES affect UIL eligibility. In other words, if they are failing a course at grade check time (which will be checked according to the Gradebook update you enter next week), they will lose the ability to participate in UIL competition for 3 weeks until report cards come out and they are passing all their classes for the nine weeks.
Lockdown Drill Wednesday, during 8th period.
Make sure that you have in your room or work area:
LVISD Emergency Procedures
"How to Prepare For and Respond During and After an Active Shooter Incident" - by your procedures
The Say it Twice, Say it Twice poster by your phone
Something to block your door - important to know that no one has been killed in an active shooter situation when the intruder was unable to get into the room
Something that can be used as a weapon as a last ditch effort
If you have conference 8th, please participate as if you did have a class. We will be reading what to do over the loud speaker to help facilitate the drill.
PSAT plans!

Showing a video in class? check this out!
And...it's really easy for a video to become snooze time for your students. Keep it engaging, relevant, and student-centered by following some of these suggestions: https://ww2.kqed.org/education/2016/08/23/watch-think-write-and-other-proven-strategies-for-using-video-in-the-classroom/
Why join PTA?
2. By becoming a member, you are eligible for teacher grants and scholarships.
3. You more than make up the $10 fee with the luncheons they provide us every month!
Hard copies of this form will be placed in your box. Please turn in the form and money to Mrs. Kaiser or Mrs. Becker. Thanks!
PS - Our first teacher appreciation luncheon is scheduled for next Friday, September 28!
Students failing your class?
A word about schedule changes -
Remember that if you want an advisory change YOU need to EMAIL MRS. HUERTA and INCLUDE the teacher that will be losing the student you are gaining.
Students new to your class will need your help in accepting the invite to the new section of Canvas for whatever class changed period on their schedule.
Need money?
