Field Days
We are very excited to announce our Fourth Annual Field Days, which will be held on Thursday, November 21 and Friday, November 22. This is an opportunity to promote good sportsmanship and teamwork while homeroom classes compete for the grade level trophies. The students will have opportunities to participate in many events such as an ice cream cone race, football throw, 40-yard dash, the football relay, jump rope marathon, and hula hoop marathon. Parents are welcome to join as spectators but VOLUNTEERS are needed! If you are interested, please contact the school at 281-463-5966. Children will participate with their homeroom. All of the fifth grade will participate in field day on November 21st and all of the third grade will participate on November 22nd. The fourth grade will be split between the two dates. Schedules will be sent home prior to field day.

PBIS
What does PBIS stand for? Positive Behavior Interventions and Support. PBIS is a proactive positive systems approach for creating and maintaining safe and effective learning environments in schools. Each morning our students start the day with our PAWS chant, and the chant is tied in with our matrices. This month, we will feature our PAWS matrix for the Hallway/Transitions.
