North Texas Giving Day Challenges!!
Title 1 Parent Compact Meeting
Couselor's Corner
Part of being responsible is learning to accept responsibility for our own actions and striving to be our best. Talk to your children about how they can be an example to younger siblings and other students when they practice responsibility in their academics and behavior. We don’t just benefit ourselves from our responsible behavior…others are always watching and we want to behave in ways that encourages and motivates others!
Friendly Reminder!!
Don't Forget!
- It is very important that you have your hang tag hanging from your mirror and student card visible each and every time you are picking up students.
- All visitors will be required to submit a driver's license/ state id and have it scanned in order to be admitted into our campus. Please be prepared for this when you come to the office to check in.

From Our School Nurse:
Sickle Cell Awareness Month
What is Sickle cell? SCD is inherited in the same way that people get their eye and skin color.
A person with SCD is born with it, and it is estimated that 90,000 to 100,000 people in the United States, mainly African Americans are affected.
The most common complications of SCD is:
Pain episode or crisis: Since the sickle cells don’t move easily through small vessels and can get stuck or clog blood flow.
Other complications are infection, swelling of hands and feet, eye disease, stroke along with multiple other issues.
How is Sickle cell treated: The goal is to relieve pain and prevent infections, eye damage, and stroke.
To date the only cure for SCD is a bone marrow or stem cell transplant.
It is very important that a child with SCD be allowed to rest often, and allowed extra fluid breaks, and bathroom breaks thus allowing student to hydrate often will help prevent dehydration.
To get more information on SCD go online to the Sickle Cell Disease Association of America or call 1-800-421-8453.
