Custodial Notification
Please assist us in the handling of custody related issues. It is the responsibility of the parents to provide the principal a certified copy of the court order affecting any other person’s right to their children. Should you have any questions please call Dawn Proctor at 832-484-7705.
Attendance Reminders
Attendance plays a major role in ensuring that your child achieves educational excellence. It is our hope and desire that your child gets the most of their educational experience. By attending school every day each child is a step closer to obtaining that goal! We understand that extenuating circumstances or illness are inevitable and ask that upon your child’s return to school, you promptly send in a medical note or parent notification. In order to document the excused absence, we must receive a note within 5 days from the child’s return to school.
School starts by 8:05 each day, and students are welcome in the building as early as 7:50. We love having our Leopards at school every day, all day! Questions? Please call our attendance secretary, Mrs. Sanford, at 832-484-7708.
Party Invitations to Outside Events
Please note the teacher cannot facilitate the delivery of invites to any outside events i.e. birthday parties, sleepovers etc. The delivery of party invitations should happen outside of the instructional day.
Birthday Treats
Birthday Snacks
Please contact our school nurses if you want to purchase/bring a birthday snack for your child and classmates at least two weeks prior to your child’s birthday. Our nurses will get in touch with our cafeteria manager who will then contact you with the total cost. There are several choices such as cookies, ice cream and popsicles. We prefer for all birthday snacks to be purchased in this manner, however if you would like to bring in an outside snack for the class it must be approved at least two weeks in advance with a list of all ingredients used and where the snack was prepared/purchased. We have so many students with allergies that we have to be diligent in making certain that we are not allowing any ingredients that would trigger an allergic reaction in anyone.
Therefore, please follow our guidelines. It is very sad for us to decline a birthday snack on a student’s birthday because appropriate procedures have not been followed.
