A Letter from Principal Montalvo
Dear Caldwell Heights Families,
Welcome back! We are excited to see all our students return from break. It has also been great to welcome our virtual students back to campus. Have a great week!
Please make sure to fill out a lunch application. This application will determine our school's staffing, resources, and materials available to your children. We would like to ensure that your children are able to receive what they need to continue to be successful in school. Thank you in advance for supporting Caldwell Heights by filling out the application.
Please feel free to reach out, if you have questions or concerns.
Warm Regards,
Michelle Montalvo

Library News!
Library Digital Resources
Did you know that your family has access to thousands of dollars worth of eBooks, magazine articles, encyclopedias, and other research resources for all ages PK-5th grade from home? Resources are available in English and Spanish. All you need to access these resources is a device with internet access and our Caldwell Heights passwords! The Caldwell Heights Library Research Resources page lists everything that is available, including PebbleGo, CultureGrams, World Book Encyclopedia, and much more. A link to the usernames and passwords for these resources is listed below. You must be logged into your child's RRISD Google account to access the passwords. These are great resources to use for research, science fair projects, and even just reading for pleasure from home.
