Owens Intermediate
October Jaguar News
Time to Shine
As we begin the second nine weeks of school, we have established our routines and procedures and it is time to see our student shine! We need you to make this happen. Please continue to encourage your children to show Respect, practice Excellence daily, and take Pride in all that they do because Jaguars REP. Ask your child to recite our Jaguar Pledge to you. It represents the core values of all Owens students and staff.
I am excited to welcome our families back to the building. Please be sure to look for a flyer from your child's homeroom teacher to join our communication app, Bloomz. This in where you will receive information regarding events, student progress, and ways to become more engage at Owens Intermediate.
Please take a moment to read through this newsletter while we are out for our Fall Break. When students return, they will have many opportunities to participate in student leadership. We will have Student Council Elections, Cheerleader Tryouts, Library Contests, and we are reintroducing our most popular student group, the Jaguar Gents and Gems.
Again, I would like to thank you for your support and I look forward to a successful second nine weeks.
Your Owens Intermediate Principal,
Dr. Lorena Augustus
Our doors open for students daily at 8:00 a.m. For the safety of your children, please do not drop off prior to that time or allow your children to walk to school earlier.
The school day starts at 8:35 and students are tardy after that time.
Breakfast is served from 8:00-8:30 daily, students will eat in the cafeteria.
Student Success Expectations
- Students will be asked to place jackets and coats in the closet during the school day.
- Jeans may only be worn on Friday with a College/University T-Shirt
- Students will store their backpacks in the closet all day; they will need to get everything they need for the school day out as they will not be allowed to go to the closet to retrieve items.
- All students have been issued a Student ID which is to be worn at all times during the school day. If the ID is damaged or lost, the replacement fee is $5.00.
- Students may only have their cell phones on for instructional purposes when teachers have requested students to bring their own device to school. If the phone is not used according to guidelines it may be confiscated by a staff member. Confiscated items can be retrieved by parents/guardians by presenting current photo identification and paying a $15.00 cash administrative fee each time a device is confiscated.
Dismissal
Our school day ends at 3:50, we will begin dismissal immediately after our end of the day announcements.
Parents you have done an awesome job making sure you have a car rider tag and coming to campus on time.
If you are late to pick up, which is after 4:20, you will need to enter the building to pick up your students. You will need to present a valid ID and be listed as an emergency contact for the student to be released.

Account Access Information
These challenges are disrespectful to the District, Owens Intermediate, to students, and to our families that send students to school to learn. We have a lot of ground to cover to ensure we close gaps for students that missed school last year and we want all students to have what they need to continue to be successful.
Students participating in such challenges will have consequences that may include suspension and/or withdrawal from Owens Intermediate and enrollment in our Discipline Alternative Educational Program at the Alternative Learning Center (ALC).
Please encourage your children to ignore these challenges. Your support is appreciated.
