Pure Barre- October 11th (SAC)
Come and enjoy a fun-filled free Pure Barre workout in the CTMS SAC on Tuesday, October 11th. Wolf parent and co-owner of Pure Barre- Colleyville, Rachel Terrana, will be instructing those who are interested in a 55-minute workout session. Start time is 4:00 pm.

Professional Development- Passport to Success!
After the breakfast and faculty meeting, you'll all each receive a passport to take with you as you visit each of your four destinations. Please remember to stop in "customs" (presenter) to get your stamp as proof of visit. More details to come on Monday. We hope that you find these learning opportunities to be rewarding and pertinent to your growth as a professional.
Clown Situation
I just wanted to reiterate to this staff that the safety of our students and staff is always our top priority. We are encouraging all students to not participate in any kind of clown pranks. Additionally, we are also asking students, parents and community members to remain vigilant of clown threats or sightings in the community.
Housekeeping
- Let's make sure we are closing our lessons each day. Closure provides us with information that determines our next steps, whether it will be remediation or extension. Closure is a good way to formatively assess.
Flex Hours Due- October 19th
CTMS Social Hour - October 14th @ 4:00 pm
End the week with good company and delicious food for our Fall Happy Hour at Pluckers in Grapevine on Friday, October 14th starting at 4:00pm. Bring your teacher ID to get free appetizers!
