Reminders
- Please let your child's teacher know if they will be going home with another student or going home another way (ex. carpool - walker)
- We do have pencils on hand for students when they don't have one, but they are dwindling away quickly! Please help remind your student to be prepared with supplies when they come to class.
New Library System
The new library system does not allow students to check out if they have overdue books. Parents get emails if their child has an overdue book. Below is a video explaining this new policy. It is only about a minute and a half long.

Math
Over the next two weeks we will be working on analyzing data in different types of graphs! This week we will focus on Frequency tables, bar graphs, and dot plots.
Graphing is our last unit before our first Math CBA on Oct. 29th. We will be working at the teacher table and WIN time reviewing concepts that we have covered in this first cluster. I will work on a list of skills we have covered for you to talk about with your students, but there will not be a question review sent home for the CBA. We need realistic data to help us with what needs to be touched on again!

Dismissal
In order for someone else to pick up your child, those individuals need to be added to your child’s emergency contact list. These additions can be made by emailing our Data Clerk, Rhonda, Cowlishaw: cowlishr@friscoisd.org

This has also been asked a LOT this week: How do I change my child from a walker to a Carpool pickup (or whatever change they need): Changes need to be communicated by Noon! (This is also in the Parent Handbook)
