May Newsletter
A Note from the Principal
Summer is fast approaching, and it is hard to believe how fast this year has gone by! We hope that your child made many long-lasting and special memories this school year that he/she can look back on fondly...and we still have the whole month of May left for some additional exciting events, such as our brand-new Summer Send-off that you can read more about below!
We have had many celebrations this year, including:
- Watching our 5th Grade READ 180 class celebrate reading over 2.5 million words! They are on their way to their next million before school is out.
- Several events that allowed us an opportunity to connect with our Falcon families, such as Fall Reading Night, Math Night, Fall Festival, and our first grade musical. We hope that you were able to make it out to one of these events!
- Hundreds of students who have earned their Leadership Badge, as well as the right to participate in our End of Year Leadership Celebration, which will take place on May 17th.
- Opportunities to showcase the talent of our students with performances at the Superintendent's Fun Run and other special events.
With the end of the year comes some other important items. Nurse Saad asks that all medicine be collected from the clinic by May 30th at 2 PM. According to CFISD Board policy FFAC (local), medications must be retrieved from the clinic by a parent/guardian or designated responsible adult. Medications not picked up will be disposed of in accordance with CFISD policy. Also, please be sure to visit the lost and found to claim any jackets; we have quite a few that have accumulated throughout the year!
As the 2018-2019 school year comes to a close, I want to be sure and say thank you for your continued partnership. Each child is made better when there is a close connection between school and home.
Let's have a great last month of school, and we will see all of our Falcons back next year at Falcon Express, which will take place on Saturday, August 24th!
