LaCoste Families,

We appreciate all of your support in our two events we had this week!! We had such a great turn out to both events. Our Watch D.O.G.S program had an amazing turnout and we are so thankful for our positive male role models to be on campus! Please do not hesitate to email Mrs. Rakowitz at cara.rakowitz@mvisd.org to schedule the day you can volunteer on campus. As a reminder you do need to complete the background check, complete volunteer training, and purchase a Watch D.O.G.S shirt prior to being able to volunteer. Thank you to all of you that participated in our Title 1 meeting and reminders of attendance and skyward family access. We appreciate your feedback and support.

As a district we are moving to a paperless sign in and sign out system for parents so that we can have a digital tracking system for tardies and early outs. When coming to the front window effective October 24th please have your phone available to complete a google form for tardies and early outs.

Families, please adhere to our MVISD Elementary Student handbook Policy for Deliveries. Deliveries for celebrations may be dropped off between 7:15-7:50 a.m in order to not disturb the instructional day.

Deliveries

Except in emergencies, delivery of messages or packages to students will not be allowed during instructional time. A parent may leave a message or a package, such as a forgotten lunch, for the student to pick up from the front office during a passing period or lunch. Pg. 46 of MVISD Elementary Student Handbook

We want to showcase our LaCoste leaders in our trophy case on campus. We’d like to showcase students that are leaders OUTSIDE of school. Is your child proactive with the Girl Scouts or Boys Scouts? Does your child synergize with cousins in raising animals for the stock show? Maybe your child is part of a youth group that helps in picking up trash on the weekends? Capture a picture and send it to us! cara.rakowitz@mvisd.org Please indicate your child’s name and what organization they are a part of.

PreK-2nd

Combined with exercise and stretching. We are working on their overall conditioning for physical activity. We practiced some activities (stations) that the students will do next Friday in PE for the Fall Festival. This was done so the kids will know what to do at a designated station. The activities (stations) are altered for the lower grade levels.

3rd-5th

Combined with exercise and stretching. We are working on their overall conditioning for physical activity. We practiced some activities (stations) that the students will do next Friday in PE for the Fall Festival. This was done so the kids will know what to do at a designated station.

We will always work with you regarding if your child or children need to sit out in PE due to a medical reason. A note must be provided for documentation. There will be activities we do in PE that may be difficult. We are just wanting the students to try their best and with practice they will get better. If they do not try they will not get better.

LaCoste Elementary students often go above and beyond! With that in mind, we love to acknowledge when they do. Reading is an important everyday activity. It shows great examples of the Leadership Habits we know are the foundation of our success. We like to “Catch Students Reading”. Examples of that would be; students independently choosing to read as a leisure activity or students achieving a reading goal they had set for themselves, like finishing their first chapter book or reading their first book independently. Parents can also "Catch Students Reading" at home! Please click the button below to submit your child's name for the drawing.

Each week a name is randomly drawn from those submissions. Their name is displayed on a bulletin board in the library, given a prize for their accomplishment, mentioned in our morning campus announcements and posted in our Parent Newsletter.

This week’s winner is Sofia Sitterding!

Sofia was caught reading in the library by Mrs.Graff.

You can be a star when you get caught reading!
