YOUR WEEKLY SCOOP
CHANGING LEARNING LOCATIONS
Learning Location changes are trending toward most students switching to face-to-face instruction. As stated since the process started, there is a high probability that students will change classroom assignments in order to maintain balanced class sizes.
Parents can change their student's learning location by using the Learning Location Form.
We need your help and understanding as we navigate our new normal of online and face-to-face instruction. It is becoming increasingly difficult to manage the changes as quickly as we did as the number of changes are increasing. There are many people involved in the process, and many applications that need to be changed. Location changes will be processed on the schedule below:
Complete the Change Form November 2 - 6 – Student will begin new class on Monday, November 9
Complete the Change Form November 9 -13 – Student will begin new class on Monday, November 16
Complete the Change Form November 16 - 20 – Student will begin new class on Tuesday, December 1
This will allow all students who change to begin the first day of school for that week.
If a Face-to-Face student is out sick, they do not move to an online class. Families may contact the child’s teacher for missed school work if the child feels able.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation with this plan.
November 30th is a staff workday and student holiday.
GOLD STAR FRIDAY
CAR RIDER UPDATE
During car rider dismissal there are two staff members inputting numbers and directing cars into the inside/outside lanes. We kindly ask that you remain in the lane given as your child's number is specific to a lane. Changing lanes will only result in delays at dismissal.
Currently car rider dismissal starts at 3:10pm and ends PROMPTLY at 3:35pm. Please arrive accordingly for pick up.
A friendly reminder to not get out of your car during dismissal. If your child needs to be buckled, we ask that you pull into the parking lot.
BIRTHDAY TREATS
Parents are permitted to recognize a child’s birthday by sending treats for the child’s homeroom to have during lunch.
At this time we are encouraging the purchase of frozen treats from the cafeteria for all students in the class.
If you choose to send something, please check with your child’s teacher first regarding any allergies in the class. For sanitation purposes, items should be individually wrapped. Some examples are Little Debbies or Hostess treats.
The following items are NOT permitted: balloons, goodie bags, gifts, candles, flowers, party hats, etc.

LIBRARY BOOK CHECK OUT FOR VIRTUAL LEARNERS
We are condensing our library curbside to one day a week. All holds placed by the end of day Wednesday will be available for pickup on Thursdays from 4:00-5:00. Each bag will also contain a makerspace craft to complete at home.
If you would like to utilize this service and that time does not work for you please contact Mrs. McAlsiter at wendy.mcalister@humbleisd.net and she will help you come up with an alternative plan.
Thank you for your help, patience, and understanding. GE loves to see students reading! We look forward to seeing you soon at the library pick-ups!
