Chisholm Trail Times
January 2019
Notes from the Principal
As we start the New Year, I would like to remind everyone to make sure you write your child’s name in the new coats they will be wearing to school. It makes it much easier for us to get your child’s clothing back to them when a name is written on an inside tag. We have lots of items in our lost and found, so if your child is missing a jacket or other article of clothing, we will be happy to assist you in looking in the “Lost and Found.”
Our MOY or "middle of the year" assessments will be held this month using DRA and STAR 360. The DRA reading assessment is administered individually by the classroom teachers. STAR 360 is a computer based assessment to monitor student reading and math progress. Teachers will be sending home assessment testing results once the testing has been completed.
There will be no school on Monday, January 21, 2019 in honor of Martin Luther King Day. We hope you enjoy your day off as we celebrate the life and achievements of Martin Luther King, Jr. and all he did to ensure the civil rights of our U.S. citizens.
GREAT NEWS!
Chisholm Trail has recently been notified that we are a 2018-2019 Capturing Kids' Hearts National Showcase Schools Nominee by the Flippen Group. Last year, we were chosen as a CKH National Showcase school so we hope to repeat the honor again this year. Some campuses at Sanger I.S.D. have been using the Capturing Kids' Hearts program for around 11 years, but in the past few years, all campuses have embraced the program which is designed to build a positive culture and climate so that our students thrive. All of our classrooms have a social contract and we try our best every day to treat others the way we want to be treated. We strive to do the right thing everyday. We hope you love CTE as much as we love having your child with us.
