Scott Elementary
Mini Pack Update 11/20/2015
Principal's Pen
Dear Scott Family,
Can you believe it is already Thanksgiving? At this time of the year we encourage you to take time for yourself and your family. Enjoy some football. Eat an extra dessert. Go to the park. Take a walk in the neighborhood and check out the new holiday decorations. Take time to reflect on the things you are thankful for...your family, our community, your child's teacher(s), your friendships, our country. Slow down, enjoy the quiet moments. Your kids need this, too. Leanne's 17 year old came in last night and asked, "Mom, can we just have a family night this weekend? Let's stay in and watch a movie together." Wow!!
We hope you enjoy this holiday break.
Sincerely,
Paige & Leanne
At Scott, we have so much to be thankful for...
Scott Staff joining in on the fun at Safety Town!

Safety Reminder
Updates and Reminders
Parking on Campus: Please do not park in the fire lanes at anytime including lunch or Celebrate Scott.
Texting/Calls: Please refrain from texting in/around the school. We are responsible for getting 650 students safely to and from school. Please help by keeping your eyes on the road and not looking at your phone.
Bikes on Campus: Parents, please talk to your child about not riding his/her bike or scooter on campus grounds. We also will be talking to all our students. We have had some near misses with student safety because of bike riders nearly running into other students or failing to stop at the crosswalk. Again, your child's safety is always our #1 concern.
All FISD Community Workshops are held at the FISD Administration Building.
