T.H.E. Blackcats of the Week
At T.H.E. we realize the importance of student recognition, therefore; we have put into place the "Blackcats of the Week". In this week's recognition, we have:
This week we have: 3rd Grade Michael Onwuchekwa, Jha’Zari Gardner 4th Grade: Jayden Diaz, Carla Marroquin 5th Grade: Jose Magana, Wynter Cook
Congratulations to all these students, we look forward to recognizing students every week for their hard work and dedication.

Parents, make sure your student attends school every day all day. Every minute counts. Students must be in class ready to receive instruction at 8:00am
- Individual class attendance incentives. Popcorn celebration when the class spells out BLACKCATS.
- The class with the highest attendance % per grade level will get pizza at the end of the third and sixth weeks.
- Grade level with the highest attendance % will get an ice cream social at the end of the six weeks.
Chromebook Etiquette-Parents, we need your assistance with the following:
1. Only log into a Chromebook using their own username and password.
2. Do not let anyone borrow your Chromebook if you have already logged into it.
3. Be mindful that everything we search for on the internet is being monitored.
4. As a student, you are ultimately responsible for anything being searched for under your username and password.
Parents, we greatly appreciate your help with this matter.
