Congratulations!
We want to congratulate our receptionist, Michelle Tamez on her promotion to Administrative Assistant to the Executive Director of Communications for Channelview ISD beginning Monday. Mrs. Michelle has been a valuable asset to our campus and will be greatly missed. We wish her the best of luck in the district communications office.
We appreciate your patience during this transition period as we search for and train a new receptionist.
Attendance Counts! Winners
*If some of our winners did not bring their letters home today, they will in the next few days.
MARCH Attendance Counts! Kick Off
We will be doing another drawing for the month of March.
There are only 18 school days in the month of March. Make it a priority to be here each day. We will choose a student from each class with exceptional attendance.
Did you Know?
Attendance Counts!
*Missing 1-2 days every few weeks makes it harder to:
- Gain reading and math skills
- Build relationships
- Learn routines
Students who are chronically absent, missing 18 or more days a year, only have a 17% chance of reading on grade level in 3rd grade?!?!?
Attendance Counts!
March Madness! - Begins March 20th.
Beginning March 20 and ending April 14, each class will enter in a head to head bracket type competition weekly for outstanding attendance. On April 14, we will announce the winning class. Classes eliminated weekly will also continue to compete for additional prizes. There are also opportunities for induvial students to be recognized.
What can you do to help? Just be here!

March Character Trait: Fairness
"But that's not fair!"
We have all heard this from children, and possibly adults too. This month we are learning about the trait fairness. This is a difficult trait for young children to understand, and honestly people in general.
Fairness does not mean the same, or equal. To help make the abstract idea of fairness more concrete for children, ask them questions to help them understand. For example, if you bought a leash for your dog, would you buy one for your fish to be fair?
