Week of January 27-31, 2020
A Note From Mrs. Garrison
Friday, January 31st, is the last day to order a yearbook for your child! The PTO has a very limited supply of yearbooks available at the end of the year. If you are wanting a yearbook this year, order one today!
The 2020-2021 School Year Calendar has been approved for next year and is shown below.
Conroe ISD will be expanding all current half-day prekindergarten programs to full day in the 2020-21 school year. Currently, Houser and Houston Elementary Schools are the only campuses to operate full-day prekindergarten programs. The expansion is in response to the House Bill 3 requirement that all prekindergarten programs operate as full-day programs. Registration for the 2020-21 school year will take place April 20-24. Eligibility determination and enrollment will take place at the elementary school to which the student is zoned. Please visit www.conroeisd.net/ci/early-childhood/ for more information.
Have a great weekend!

News from the Technology Lab
Have you heard about the Ozobot lesson in our Technology lab? Third and Fourth grade students are learning to write code for the tiny toy robot Ozobot bit. All grade levels will have a chance to experience with Ozobot.
Ozobot is a little toy robot that blends the physical and digital worlds — and teaches kids programming. Ozobot can identify lines, colors, and codes on both digital surfaces, such as an iPad, and physical surfaces.
Students have been very eager to know where you can purchase Ozobot. Ozobot can be purchased from Amazon for just under $50.00 Below is a link should your family be interested in purchasing an Ozobot.
