Principal's Message
We made it to March! There is so much learning to do before we finish the school year, so it is imperative that students come to school every day, ready to learn!!
Just a few reminders for your information:
- Just a reminder that Spring Break is next week, March 11-15.
- At the Board Meeting on February 19, Mrs. Christa Haymark was named principal of Vogel Intermediate for the 2019-2020 school year. In 2008, Mrs. Haymark began serving in Conroe ISD at Vogel Intermediate as a 5th grade science and social studies teacher. She assumed her current role as Assistant Principal at Runyan Elementary in 2016 and served as a summer school principal in June of 2018. We hope that you will join us in welcoming Mrs. Haymark back to Vogel!!! Please click the attached link for the full article. http://www.conroeisd.net/principal-vogel-intermediate-named-board-meeting/
- If you have a K-5 student and live in the 242 area, you may be zoned to Suchma Elementary next year (not all students on 242 are impacted). Click on the link for the new zone map. http://www.conroeisd.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Suchma-Intermediate-Scenario-1.pdf Letters were sent out to all K-5 students zoned to Suchma last week. If you are in that attendance zone, there is NO need to fill out a transfer request. Your information will automatically be sent over to the new school. Transfer requests are for students who are zoned to Suchma, but are requesting to stay at either Houser, Oak Ridge or Vogel next year. If you have any questions, please call your current principal for assistance.
- Lunch accounts - many students have negative lunch balances. Please check your child's lunch account to see if they have money on their account. Negative balances need to be paid as soon as possible. Contact our cafeteria manager if you have any questions on your child's lunch account. You can check your child's lunch balance in Parent Access. If you need to apply for free or reduced lunch, please go https://www.myschoolapps.com/ to apply. Please note that if you qualify for free or reduced lunches, you will still need to pay off any negative balance that is on your child's account.
- Thank you to our families who have taken the time to give us feedback this year. We look at every suggestion and discuss ways to improve our practives at Vogel. Your feedback is very important to us. This feedback form will be in every newsletter and on our webpage each month. Thank you for taking time to support Vogel Intermediate! https://goo.gl/forms/7LbaTIcNqCt0Bz7o2
- Please call your child's teacher if you need assistance with anything. They are always your first line of communication, and can typically answer your questions better than anyone else. :)

The Blue and Red
Social media safety for parents
If you find other suggestions for great websites to help parents, please pass them along and I will share them! It takes a great support team to help us navigate the dangers of social media!
Winter Illnesses are Increasing
If your child is sick, they need to stay home. If they have a fever, they need to be fever free without fever reducing medicines, for 24 hours before returning to school. To help alleviate the spreading of germs, our custodial staff is vigilant in sanitizing rooms and keeping surfaces as clean as possible.
