Dear Allen ISD Families and Staff,

All after-school activities and events have been canceled for Thursday, March 16 due to the forecast of severe weather this afternoon and evening. This includes Destination Night, the IB Senior Dinner, middle school cheer tryouts, fine arts performances, and athletic events and practices. Please be on the lookout for information from your principal, coach, or sponsor regarding the rescheduled dates for these events.

All schools and transportation services will continue to operate and release on a normal schedule this afternoon. After-school tutoring, including late bus service, is canceled this afternoon.

Kids Club after-school care will remain open, but will close early at 5:30 p.m. We encourage all parents to pick up their children as soon as possible so that our Kids Club staff have time to travel home safely.

In the event of severe weather and/or a tornado warning that occurs during dismissal time, students will not be released from the campus and instead moved to the pre-designated safety locations inside the building.

We thank you for your understanding and patience as we continue to monitor the weather conditions and consult with local emergency personnel.

Please continue to monitor the Allen ISD website and official social media pages for information and updates:

Future Story Family,

We would LOVE it if you would consider helping out with PTA next year! Please consider filling out this form to let us know if you might be interested in any positions on our executive board or as a chair. If you have any questions please reach out to president@storypta.org.

This information is also listed on the Story website (https://www.allenisd.org/Domain/1045) and has been shared with the Allen Council of PTAs.

During March, teachers will be looking for students who demonstrate that they are trustworthy. This looks like: going where you are supposed to go, showing up when you are expected, turning your work in on time, keeping your promises. Basically, doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.

Don’t Forget -- we recognize and reward these positive behaviors that we are seeing at Rocky Rallies.

We encourage students of all grade levels to keep a change of clothing at the school. This helps to ensure that any major spills, accidents, tears, etc. can be addressed without too much interruption during the school day.

With warmer weather on the horizon, please send a warmer change of clothing.

Thank you. - Nurse Amy

**Do Not Share Hats, Combs, Brushes or anything with your friends that can go on your head. This is a great lesson about Head Lice for students in Kindergarten to Sixth Grade 👩🏽‍⚕️✨

Want an easy way to connect with your child in a meaningful way?

WATCH D.O.G.S.® is an innovative program being used by schools across America, which helps them to be positively impacted by the committed involvement of fathers and father-figures in their students’ life. The goal is to have these men spend a day a year at the school to be an extra set of eyes and ears as a positive male role model.

WatchDOGS are fathers, grandfathers, uncles, and other father-figures who volunteer for at least one day each year at Rountree. During the day, WatchDOGS help with Specials, play at recess, eat lunch with students, watch the school entrances and hallways, assist with traffic flow and any other assigned activities where they actively engage with not only their own students, but other students as well.

What do I do to become a WATCHDOG:
