Vogel News
From our Community in Schools
Attendance
- It is vital our students are at school every day.
- The 5th and 6th grade curriculum is hefty. Students can’t learn the necessary concepts if they aren’t present at school each day.
- Please help us by encouraging your child to come each day.
Change of Transportation
All transportation changes must be received in writing by 3:00 p.m. We are unable to accept a phone call. You may send a written note to your child’s teacher, or fill out a form in the front office. Please include the date, your child’s full name, homebase teacher’s name, bus number (if applicable), and your signature. If an emergency arises, you may send an email to contactvogel@conroeisd.net
The e-mail must include all of the above information, including a parent signature, and must be received before 3:00 p.m.
Please send a new note for each day the change occurs; we cannot accept notes for multiple days or with multiple changes. District policy states that a student may only ride the bus they are registered to ride; students may not have a transportation change to ride a different bus.
Vogel Cell Phone/Smartwatch Policy
Violation of Cellphone/Smartwatch Policy:
● If a student is in violation of the cellphone/smartwatch policy, the first offense will result in a warning.
● Each offense after will result in the cell phone/smartwatch being taken up and brought to the office.
● An adult will need to come to school to pick up the cellphone or smartwatch.
Thank you for helping support a positive educational environment in our school.

Birthday Treats
- Birthday treats, such as brownies or cookies, must be store bought due to allergy, safety and sanitation concerns.
- Treats are served in the classroom at the end of the day, and will be passed out by a staff member.
Forgotten Items/Deliveries
Please help your student be fully prepared for their day by ensuring that they have all needed materials (backpack, lunch, water bottle, etc...) as they arrive at school. Water bottles and lunches may be placed on the Drop-off table at the front office. All deliveries need to be labeled with your child’s name and homebase teacher to ensure proper delivery. Let the front office know you have dropped something off to your child. You may email your child’s teacher to let them know to allow your child to check the drop-off desk as well.
If you need eye glasses delivered to your child, please do not put them on the drop off table. Bring them to the office/staff for immediate delivery to your child.
Any class work, binders or homework that is dropped off will be placed in the teacher’s mailbox for them to pick up during the day.
