SNAPOLOGY SCHEDULE FOR 2023
A MESSAGE FROM YOUR LEADERSHIP TEAM!
1. Our coaches are preparing our scholars. Here is a bit more about Kids Heart Challenge, which is coming soon! Sgt. Jose F. Carrasco Elementary is joining forces with the American Heart Association by participating in KIDS HEART CHALLENGE (KHC). Students will be excited to “Slay the dragon of heart disease and stroke!” with our team of Heart Hero dragons and by participating in KHC they are Being the Torch, as they shine their light towards ways our community can be healthier. Also, your family will have the opportunity to learn hands-only CPR through Finn’s Mission!

2. Our 100th day of school is upon us. Review the dress up day calendar below.
3. JOIN THE BOY SCOUTS! Information is posted below.
4. A literacy night is planned at Pebble Hills High School. Please see below.
5. The SOUTH lot is also available for drop off each morning. Please consider using this lot off of Tim Floyd in back of our school. This will help to balance traffic at our WEST lot. Please remember that our WEST lot is for teacher parking and not for parking for pick up.
6. Attendance is important. Thank you for emailing our JCE Attendance team when your scholar will be out. Please remember that scholars who are out 5 days or more (the school year) are required to submit a doctor's note after the 5th day. At 18 days absent (excused or not) the state of Texas stipulates that scholars lose credit for the entire school year and when scholars accrue to many unexcused absences, an attendance court referral can be created. Thank you for monitoring attendance.
