Tardies and Attendance- Please get your child to school each morning by 7:30am!
THIRD GRADE PARENTS!! SEE BELOW!
Attendance Reporting
Per the District attendance office, we will no longer accept DOJO messages to report an absence. I appreciate you being diligent in letting us know but the DOJO messages are not clear enough with names, dates, etc.
They are rather hard to follow. Please encourage your parent to either call the Front Office or use the Online Absence link below. By doing one of these two things, we can be sure the absence is recorded and excused (if it falls into the Excused category.
Here is the link for the online absence reporting:

Or call Front Office @ 281-237-3950
CAR RIDER UPDATES!
Car Rider Line updates
Parents: Parents are not allowed to make transportation changes after 2pm. Parents cannot pick up their kids early after 2:30. Parents who enter the building after 2:30 requesting to pick up their child from the car rider line will have to wait until 3:25pm.
Car rider line ends at 3:20 pm. IF you come after 3:20, you will be asked to come to the front office. Please bring in your tag. If you do not pick up your child by 3:25, you will be called immediately. Please make every effort to be on time and be respectful of others’ time. Staff hours are from 7:25-3:25 every day.
The car rider line is in place for the safety of our Gators and for traffic control. We appreciate your patience in understanding and using the car rider line.
Reminders-
1. You must have a school-issued Car Rider Tag hanging on your mirror, or it must be visible in your front window. Car Rider Tags are not visible if they are lying on the dashboard.
2. Pictures of Car Rider Tags will not be accepted.
3. If you do not have your Car Rider Tag, please go directly to the front office to pick up your child.
4. When you enter the car rider line, you will be directed to the left or right lane. You must stay in the lane you are directed to.
5. Please drive slowly at all times when moving through the line. PLEASE kindly don’t be on your cell phone while driving. We have had parents be distracted and almost get in wrecks!
6. Car rider dismissal ends at 3:20. If you arrive after this time, you will need to pick up your child in the front office. Bring the Tag into the school with you so that we can verify who you are.
7. IF you have misplaced or need an extra tag, please let the Front Office know.

Parents and Community-
I just wanted to welcome you all to our GATOR NEWS. I am hoping that you all find the information valuable and helpful. The front office team is here to SERVE you. If you ever have a question or concern that can't be answered or if you need someone to listen, please don't hesitate to contact me, Felicia A. Sheedy. As the leader of this school, I want to assure you that I take pride in you knowing my first name and that I am here to help you with ANYTHING. Your children light up my life every morning when I see them in the halls and my goal is for you to love our school as much as we all do. We are needing volunteers, KEYS Mentors and substitutes. The google docs are attached to this newsletter if you are interested. As always, if you have a concern, don't hesitate to call me directly.
With love and appreciation!

Friendly reminder for our Kindergarten bus riders:
Kindergarten students MUST have a responsible adult or older sibling receive them at the bus stop at the END of the school day.
If an adult or older sibling is NOT present to receive the student, the bus will return the student back to Mayde Creek Elementary.
After students are returned to school, guardians are responsible for picking up their child. Thank you for your help with keeping our kindergarten gators safe.
We are the MCE GATORS!!!
