Panther Post
May 14th - May 20th
Hello Lopez Families,
I am glad to announce we are done with STAAR testing! That is never fun, but of course necessary. I am confident we will again be leading in the results when they come out. Our kids did great with staying focused among all the changes to their normal routine.
We did have a fun end to STAAR week with our faculty taking on our 8th grade girls and boys basketball teams in a great game. The game went down to the wire but with 13 seconds left, the 8th graders made a shot that would prove to be the game winner. I think we would have taken them if Jayden Robinson wouldn't have come out looking like Steph Curry draining threes left and right. He was on fire! The game raised over $1500 for Heroes Sports, an organization dedicated to supporting returning military service members.
I want to give a huge thank you to our PTA for all the things you did for our teachers during STAAR week. You made a stressful week so much better. (Picture below)
The weekend before, our beginner band members participated in the Sound Waves Music Festival at New Braunsfels HS and earned straight 1st division ratings from all three judges and won "Best in Class." Way to go band!
Our art students are now the District Art Champs! These amazing artists competed in the Regional Visual Arts Scholastic contest and won 1st place in our district. I was able to go see them this past Saturday and view their work. Truly amazing! Way to go Lopez!
Have a great week!
Sincerely,
Mr. Wernli

Help With Homework? We're at Your Assistance!
PARENTS OF 6TH GRADE STUDENTS
All 6th grade students are required to have Meningococcal and TdaP vaccines before entering 7th grade. As of April 3, over 200 of our 6th graders do not have these immunizations in our records. You may check Parent Portal or call us at 356-5003 if you are unsure if your student is missing these shots. It is very important to bring in your updated shot records to us in the clinic. You may scan/email the record or fax the record. Fax #210-481-4073. Email krackl@neisd.net
PICK UP ALL MEDICATIONS
All student medications should be picked up by June 1. This includes all inhalers, Epipens, bottles of Advil, Tylenol, Benadryl, keychain medications, and any over the counter drugs. These medicines will be disposed of if not picked up, as the school won’t be air-conditioned when closed over the summer. If you cannot pick up medication by June 1, please call the school nurse at 210-356-5003 to make other arrangements.
Update Physician Orders
Orders for medications, including inhalers, Epipens, insulin, and all oral medications, should be updated over the summer. Medication forms are being mailed out to all students who currently have medicine in the clinic. Please schedule appointments over the summer so that you will not run out of time to have physicians to complete these medication requests. These forms are also available for downloading at http://www.neisd.net.
From the Library
Final deadline to turn in checked out books is May 18, 2017. Below is the link to verify if your student has any outstanding library books.
Service Hours
Lopez families,
Lopez Panthers should be tracking their service hours. The hours should be tracked in their Leader in Me binder on the service hour log page. They may also track their hours for the PVSA awards website. This consists of time they spend in any type of volunteer role - at school or on their own. This will help them reach their personal goal and will help Lopez complete their school-wide important goal of 10,000 service hours this year.
Instructions on how to enter your service hours can be found at: https://snapguide.com/guides/log-presidents-volunteer-service-award-hours/.
The site for actually putting in your hours is: http://presidentialserviceawards.gov.
Send us a picture of your child in his/her service role and we will display it on a celebrations wall! mvolz@neisd.net or ftobac@neisd.net
We can't wait to see the great ways our Lopez Panthers Serve!

Box Tops
Dear Lopez Families,
We are quickly nearing the end of the 2016-2017 school year! As we ready ourselves for summer break, it’s a great time to start an envelope in order to collect those Box Tops over the summer!! My name is Melanie Striffler and I’m excited to once again be our school’s Box Tops for Education™ Coordinator for next year.
Clipping Box Tops is an easy way to help earn cash for our school. Each one is worth 10¢ for our school! Just look for the pink Box Tops on hundreds of products. All you have to do is clip them and send them to school.
Last school year, we earned $200 for our school from Box Tops, and used the money to clean and refurbish our mascot, Prowler. This next school year, our goal is to earn $500.
For more information on Box Tops, including a list of participating products, go to BTFE.com. Be sure to sign up as a member (it’s free!) so you can check out our school’s earnings details and get access to coupons and bonus offers.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I’m here to help make our school’s Box Tops for Education™ program a huge success this year.
Thanks for your help!
