Student Council
Parents,
This year we are accepting box tops all year long. In the fall semester, they can be turned in to your child's teacher with your child's name and the teacher's name throughout the semester. The top five students in each grade level will get to attend breakfast with Santa. We will collect box tops again in the spring semester, and the top five students in each grade level will get to attend a popsicle party outside on the playground.
In addition to turning in box tops the old fashion way, you can now also download the app to have your earnings count toward your student in each of these competitions. When you download the app and create an account, be sure to select Pine Forest Elementary in Humble, Tx to ensure your box tops go towards our school as there are multiple Pine Forest Elementary schools.
Each time you shop, open your app and take a picture of your receipt to submit, and it will show you how much you have earned for PFE. At the end of each semester by the due dates for the competition be sure to screenshot your app and send the photo in an email to pedward@humbleisd.net to have your earnings go toward your student. In the email please be sure to include your student's name, teacher's name, and their grade. We can also split them evenly among all of your children if that info is provided.
To participate in earning box tops, be sure that all paper box tops and emailed screenshots are turned in by December 6th, 2019 to be in the running for breakfast with Santa and by May 8th to be in the running for the popsicle party.
Thanks,
Payton Edwards & Jennifer Howard

District Throat Drop Policy
Dear parents,
In case you are unaware, there was a change a couple of years ago to the district throat (cough) drop policy.
Throat drop products will no longer be accepted or administered by Humble ISD staff nor will students be allowed to carry them.
The rationale for this change is on page 103 - 104 of the student handbook where it states “the district will not administer herbal or dietary supplements provided by the parent unless it is required by the student’s IEP or 504 plan for a student with disabilities”. Throat drop products are not FDA approved and are considered a dietary supplement.
More complete information on this policy is available on my website.

October Monthly Totals
This month I've visited 20 classrooms, seen 15 individual students, held 7 lunch bunches and currently have 3 groups in progress.
Canned Food Drive
Starting November 4th and going through November 21st, PFE is partnering up with HAAM to collect non-perishable food items to be donated to families in need. You can send your donations with your students and have them drop them off in the brown boxes near the front office. Thank you for helping families as our holiday season begins.
