Hello IL Texas Families
Hello ILTexas Families,
We are inching closer and closer to the start of the 21-22 school year. Next week, teachers return to the campus from a well-deserved summer break. Our planning for the year will include Meet the Teacher events, Coffee with the Teachers, and Curriculum Night with the Grade-level Administrators (GLAs). Be on the look out for calls and emails form the school to share information and a simple welcome back.
We continue to prepare for the arrival of all 1416 students on campus for in-person instruction. We know there are some unanswered questions as we await continued direction, but we will work to communicate any updates as we are informed.
Please be sure to complete the Year to Year Registration (Y2Y) in your Skyward Family Access account to view student attendance, grades, report cards, etc. Y2Y Registration also is the opportunity for families to update contact and emergency information which is critical in our communication to throughout the school year. Families who have Y2Y Registration completed by August 11 will receive a free dress day pass for their students. Confirmed free dress for confirmed students will take place on Friday, August 20, 2021.
I look forward to seeing all Eagles in the near future and hope everyone is staying safe. Soar Eagles!
