Weekly Updates from Mrs. Cervantes - Jan. 16, 2023
Good afternoon, Coyote families!
Today, we remember Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., an activist and prominent leader in the civil rights movement. His impact continues to be felt today, as he has left a lasting legacy of strength and inspiration for kindness, courage, and unity. One of his quotes that resonates with me is "Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that."
In this newsletter you'll find information and reminders about our January focus for Leader in Me Habit 4 Think Win-Win, CRE Skate Night this Friday night at Interskate, a PTA general meeting and music program on Jan. 26, yearbook pre-orders, the LISD Spring Transfer window, and other upcoming calendar updates. We are also continuing to share some upcoming events hosted by organizations at Hebron High School.
Regards,
Mrs. Padgett Cervantes
CRE Skate Night!
CRE Yearbook Pre-Orders
Hello CRE families! The yearbook is now available for pre-order! You can personalize the yearbook with your child’s name for an additional $5 until March 1st. Please visit the CRE Balfour page to place your order: bit.ly/CREyearbook or scan the QR code above.
I encourage you all to place your order online to secure your yearbook. There should be some available to purchase in May but I can’t guarantee it. If you have any questions, please reach out to me at hernandezv@lisd.net.

Spring Transfer Window
Attendance Note Form for Absences
We have a new district feature for attendance note submissions if you would like to submit your child's absence note online. Parents can now use the link below to submit doctors notes, personal notes, and etc.
Recognize SomeONE
I invite you to take a moment to recognize someONE! This is a district-wide staff recognition initiative, and I know we have some AMAZING staff members at Coyote Ridge! Your willingness to lift up and support an LISD staff member is critical to creating an encouraging culture where teachers and administrators feel valued and respected.
Coyote Ridge PTA (Parent-Teacher Association)
Parents, we invite you to join the CRE PTA! Along with spirit wear sales will be online membership and registration. I encourage ALL parents/guardians and staff to join, and we will continue to aim for 100% membership. Please remember that your membership dues go to support the school with items and programs that directly and positively impact your child's learning experience at CRE. Your membership also helps us have a collective voice in matters that impact education as a whole. Your membership in no way obligates you to any specific volunteer tasks or participation in meetings, but we'd love to have you! We proudly aim for 100% CRE staff participation, and we'd love to get as many families in as possible. Grandparents, neighbors, and community members are welcome members as well!
To join PTA and/or order CRE Spirit Wear, click on our CRE PTA website below and follow the steps. REMINDER: Membership dues go to support the school with programs directly impacting our students learning experience at CRE. Joining the PTA, in no way obligates you to specific volunteer events or participation in meeting. We would love to have you join, but there is NO obligation.
