Let’s Glow Crazy Dance Party!!
Join us for Millsap’s Let’s Glow Crazy Dance Party on Friday, May 3rd, 2019 from 6:00 -8:00 pm.
You won’t want to miss out! We will have a D.J. playing your favorite tunes and there will be plenty of room for dancing the night away as well as a silent auction that will include amazing teacher experiences.
Delicious meals will be served by Fajita Pete’s and the yummy Hugs & Donuts will be serving dessert.
All proceeds from the dance and silent auction will go to Millsap for things like teacher education, field trips, 5th grade day and field day.
NOTES FROM OUR NURSE
Please remember to pick up all medications that are in the clinic before the end of the year. District policy requires that all medication must be picked up by the parent or legal guardian.
All medication must be picked up by 5/30/19. Please make arrangements to pick up your child's medication by 4:00pm that day.
Any medication that is not picked up will be disposed of by the nurse according to district guidelines.

Dance Through The Decades Pre-Registration Form:
Counselor's Corner
Our value this month is perseverance. Perseverance means refusing to give up when life gets hard. Another word for perseverance is grit. Grit means that you have spirit and determination and won’t let anything or anyone stand between you and your goals. Think of ways you can show grit. Do you have a task that you have to do soon that will be hard? Start now to get yourself ready physically and mentally. Think positive thoughts and make up your mind that you will succeed. Now do it!
Credit-By-Exam Notice to Parents
The State Board of Education has established procedures to allow elementary students to “skip” one grade level by taking a series of exams which assess the Texas Essential Knowledge/Skills (TEKS) established for that grade level. Parents interested in having their children screened for credit-by-exam should contact their school counselor, Cindy Lopez at (281) 517-6036 by May 24th.

Pig – (example) pink shirt, pants, nose, ears, tail
Sheep – (example) white shirt, pants, cotton balls, ears
Chick – (example) yellow shirt, feathers, yellow tutu, pants, beak (students must be able to sing)
