RTI Collaborative Conferences:
The interventionist have prepared our spreadsheets for EOY collaborative conferences on May 18th and 19th. All data needs to be inputted prior to your meeting day. A schedule with your day and time will be sent out early next week.
NEW Flex Day Forms Info:
Please read the memo below regarding changes on how you will submit your flex day request forms this summer.
Memo regarding NEW Flex Day forms from district
AI Hours:
Teachers that have served AI students on Friday's or during tutorials need to make sure their hours are up to date. The ability to gain this year's AI hours closes once the STAAR is taken. This means whatever they have up to the date of the STAAR tests is the total they will have for the year. The link is where AI attendance should have been kept.

Warmer Weather
Can you believe we are already hitting the 90’s? Here’s a quick reminder of BISD policies re: Ozone and temperature related concerns. As it gets warmer please have kiddos hydrate with water before going outside or exercising, if they are thirsty they are already dehydrated. They may bring their own FDA approved sunblock also. Thanks for helping keep our lions safe!
