Please send in an empty cereal box with your student the week after spring break, we will need these for a writing project. Thank You!

Please send your child EVERY DAY during the winter months with some type of jacket. We have students coming without any type of coat and we DO go outside for a morning recess in addition to after lunch. In the winter, the temperature and wind can make it very cold. District policy states we go outside for recess when the FEELS LIKE temperature is 36F or above.

All jackets should have a name (or just last name) inside it. The coats are overflowing in the Lost & Found and we need you to check there the next time you are on campus for any of your child's items. Conference Day is the perfect day to check the Lost & Found. Lost & Found is usually in the Cafeteria, but lately has been in the front area around the Friendship Bench.

The First Grade Team has made the decision to not send home login information for Reflex Math for the time being. We feel it is best for the students to utilize this math fact program at school at least for the first semester. We will make a decision about the second semester after middle of year conferences.

Thank you for your cooperation in getting all our students home safely and efficiently.

The teachers, students, and employees at Carroll ISD depend on the dedication of the wonderful volunteers that we have in our community. We cannot thank our volunteers enough for sacrificing their valuable time and efforts in support of our District.

Every volunteer must complete an application and a background check to ensure the safety of our students. Applications and background checks must be completed annually to ensure the district has updated information on each volunteer. Please note that a background check can take up to 72 hours to be processed and cannot be done on the spot at the campus.

- Complete your application and background check before volunteering.

School hours are from 7:40 a.m. until 3 p.m.

This year, our expectations are that our students will be in their seats ready to learn promptly at 7:40 a.m. This means the tardy bell will ring at 7:40 a.m. and students will be late at this point. Please plan to have your students at school by 7:30 to allow them time to get ready for their day.

Please note some important information regarding our snack time in the classroom:

Please only send CLEAN, EASY TO EAT snacks. These snacks are sometimes consumed while we are working, so foods that require spoons or forks can be difficult to eat. Finger foods work best.

We only have 10-15 minutes for snack, so please only send enough for your child to eat in this time frame.

We can ONLY DRINK WATER in the classroom. Yogurt drinks, protein milk, Gatorade, juice, etc. will be enjoyed during lunch time in the cafeteria.

Please make sure the snacks are HEALTHY.

JES is an allergy aware campus. This means that NO NUTS OF ANY KIND or PEANUT BUTTER may be consumed in the classroom. Please do not bring snacks that contain peanuts or nuts for snack. These snacks can be eaten in the cafeteria.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING SNACK A CLEAN, HEALTHY, AND ENJOYABLE TIME FOR EVERYONE.

We encourage all parents/students to prepay money into their account to help lunch lines move faster and to avoid lost/forgotten lunch money.

1. Cash/Check – can be deposited in the lunch line at the point of sale. If you choose to drop cash off, please include your child’s name and ID number. Any change from a cash payment will be deposited on the student's lunch account.
   
2. Online Payment - CISD has included a parent online credit card payment system through MySchoolBucks, online or mobile app. You can make credit card payments to your student’s cafeteria account online for a convenience fee of $2.50. The system will also allow parents to view student cafeteria account balances and purchases at no charge as well as set up free, automatic, low balance email notifications and automatic payments.

Please note:

• Money left on accounts will roll over with your student next year.
• Transferring funds between siblings' accounts may be done any time by calling the Child Nutrition office at 817-949-8240.
