A Message from Mr. Hatfield
Dear College Hills Parents & Guardians,
I hope this letter find everyone well relaxed from the holiday season! I know that our Teachers and Staff have had a joyful break and are glad to be back as well. The first day back is always an exciting morning to see all the happy smiling faces come through the front doors. Listening to student stories from the extra weather day was exciting to hear from the student points of views they have shared with us as well. There are many activities coming up so make sure to check out our calendar.
Some big upcoming events to put on your calendar include our AVID open house for 3rd grade on January 23rd at 8am, AVID open house for 4th grade on January 24th at 2pm, Reading night on February 8th, Spring Book Fair starting February 26th and Paw Print Festival March 24th 11am-3pm.
Also, a reminder from nurse Reeda that the Flu is impacting a larger amount of people across the state this season. If your child is displaying signs of the flu please contact your child's physician. If we see signs at school we will send the students to nurse Reeda for evaluation and a possible call home. We do clean all table and desk daily to help prevent the spread of germs.

50 Men Who Can Cook
Local community and school leaders are selected to prepare their recipe of choice including salads, soups, sides, entrées or desserts. Each Celebrity Chef is asked to bring 800, 2 oz. samples for our guests to taste at the event. Tickets are $60 each which gets you entrance into the event and includes all the food you can taste and adult beverages of your choice. This year mystery bags and a raffle will offer guests opportunities to support our schools. You also get to vote for your favorite appetizer/salad/side dish, soup/chili, entrée, and dessert for the awards that will be presented at the end to our Celebrity Chefs. This is an “adult-oriented” event and guests are discouraged from bringing children.
Check with our front office for tickets or visit the CSISD Education Foundation's page.

WE TAKE VOLUNTEERS ALL YEAR ROUND
1. Let us know what volunteer opportunities interest you. We'll email you when volunteer opportunities come up if you select to hear about them through this online google form here:
Having trouble accessing the form? Send us an email to collegehillspto@gmail.com and we'll send you the link or a pdf that you can print and send in to your child's teacher.
2. Please complete CSISD’s Online Volunteer Application to be approved before you are able to volunteer inside the school during school hours.
Go to csisd.org and look for “Volunteering” under the “Parent Info” tab.

With remind & Facebook, parents can receive helpful reminders and interesting news where it is most convenient.
We share even more info for parents through Facebook for the school here and for the PTO here. It is encouraged that parents toggle on "Get Notifications" on the top of our pages. Otherwise, many posts will not be included in your news feed without being boosted with an ad buy. We'd rather spend our money on the kids:)
