From the Principal
I hope you will be able to come to our PTO meeting Monday, Feb. 12. We will talk about upcoming events such as Bingo night and Carnival! I will also have our recent Performance Report available and spend a few minutes talking about how Riojas has scored on the STAAR test.
PreK and Kindergarten registration for 2018-2019 is around the corner! Please share newsletter link on your neighborhood pages and tell your friends with kids that it is already time to start thinking about next year! Help us spread the word!
Be Kind: Please be kind to your neighbors as you are driving through the drop off area at school each morning. Remember that this year, we are not going around the line of drop off cars to enter the parking lot in the mornings. There really is not room for 2 cars to enter safely at the same time and the car lane has been moving pretty well. Even if you are parking to walk in the school in the mornings, please enter the parking lot with the line of cars. Come early to avoid the traffic! We open the doors at 7:10am.
Monday, February 12th, is our 100th day of school! Can you believe it? 100 days of learning! We will be celebrating around the building. Watch for pictures and videos coming soon!
And I LOVE class picture day! The students always look their best on class picture day. Don't miss it: February 20th. We will have spring individual pictures on the same day.
I hope to see you at school sometime soon,
Christi

"Mystery" Readers Needed - March 2nd
We would like to start an exciting tradition of having our parents read a favorite story to your child’s class as a “Mystery Reader” for
Read Across America Day on Friday, March 2nd.
You will remain a secret until you walk through the classroom or library door at your scheduled time. This creates suspense and intrigue for the children as they won’t know who will be showing up to read.
If you are interested in being a mystery reader, please email the following information to your child’s teacher:
Your Name:
Student Name:
Best Phone Number:
Email:
Available reading times on 3/2/18:
Your child’s teacher will contact you with your scheduled reading time. Remember, this is a surprise for your child and their classmates. Don’t let them know you’re coming!
A+ Credit Union is BACK!
