This Week's Reminders....
- Be mindful of hitting the "print" button when using our printers. There's still a lot of school year left, and several cartridges have already been replaced! The funds to cover replacement cartridges are dwindling at unprecedented speeds and those funds cannot be replenished. Consequently, once certain printers are out of ink, they become unusable.
- Staff should walk any visitors you let in through the back doors, to the office AND if you see a back door propped open...please kindly close it!
- January is School Board Appreciation Month!!! Please be ready to create those cards, banners, posters, and affirmations upon our return from break. Our Board Trustee this year is President Paul J. Tisch!
From Debbie Miller's Teaching with Intention...
From all the ways we put our thinking and theirs on display to what we say and do to foster and find significance in student thinking, we’re letting kids in on who we are, what we expect from them (and ourselves), and what we believe about teaching and learning.
Super Star Shout Outs!
GINORMOUS THANK YOU to Karen Fincher and our Star Texan Choir for leading all of our students in a holiday sing-long! Great way to end a fun but busy week!
And a Special THANKS to Angela for your work with our OTE PTA and Backpack Coalition in getting all of the meals distributed to our families and to the Office Team for your assistance with this as well!!
Congratulations to Emily, Andrea, and Kathryn for getting to showcase the work you have done with Betsy Fulwiler's Writing in Science work during a visit from staff in Cypress Fairbanks ISD!
We cannot celebrate our Emily Weibel, Deborah Ellis, Michelle Martinez, and Sidrah Khan enough for the work you do with our STAR Texans in FCC and the difference you are making in each of their little lives. You are AMAZING!!!!
