WELCOME HOME TO MATHEWS!
Helpful Information
Just a few reminders as we get our year started:
Each Morning: A reminder that students are welcome to enter the gym or go to the cafeteria for breakfast at 7:00 a.m. Students will be dismissed to join their teachers in the classrooms at 7:30 in the morning. Parents you are welcome to join your children for breakfast!
In regards to attendance and absences: Please be sure to call the school to let us know if your child is going to be absent from school. That helps us to know that your child is with you and safe. When your child returns to school, please provide a written note regarding the absence. Teachers collect the notes and turn them into the office each day. The state of Texas allows up to 3 days after a child returns to turn in a note for the absence to determine if the absence is excused or not. After the third day, the absence is unexcused.
PROJECT MIRRORS!!!
Will You Help Us?
We have a wall display we want to unveil in the near future in our main hallway, but we need your help.
Would you be willing to donate a mirror to Mathews?
We are looking for an assortment of mirrors of varied styles, colors, shapes, and sizes.
We will be touching up the frames as needed with cheerful colors so a used mirrors sitting in a closet or in a garage that you no longer need would be perfect!
If you have a mirror to donate, please drop it by to Mr. Steele or Mrs. Powell in the front office.
Thank you in advance for supporting this wonderful idea!

PE: Shoe Reminder
Please remember that our students have P.E/Fitness four days a week at Mathews.
Students need to wear sneakers in order to participate.
On a student’s Art day, they may wear any shoes they want. (Although sneakers are recommended for recess as well for safety each day of the week.)

Please check with your child to see which day they have art.
The following classes have Art on these days:
