Hello, Curington Families!

We hope you had a fantastic weekend. Below you will find important campus information and events coming soon. This Monday, we are continuing to recognize Hispanic Heritage Month. All students, staff, and community members are welcome to join us in wearing Hispanic Heritage cultural attire for this Monday, September 25, 2023.

We would like to invite our CES community to save the date for our upcoming Walk-A-Thon (WAT) hosted by our Curington PTO. The event will be held on October 11, 2023. This is an opportunity to have some family fun and to also support this year's PTO annual fundraiser. All the proceeds support our students, campus, and community. If you are interested in volunteering, below you will find our link to sign up. A huge thank you to our CES PTO and WAT coordinators for the behind-the-scenes planning that has already taken place.

Contact our front office team for any additional assistance needed. Thank you for choosing Curington Elementary as the place for your child to learn and grow.

Go Cougars!

Mrs. Talia Hernandez

Principal

Established by Governor Abbott in 2019, the Purple Star Campus Designation program recognizes Texas public schools for their exceptional commitment to supporting and meeting the unique needs of military-connected students and their families.

Former Curington Principal Matt Myers, Dayna Comley-AP and Mr. William (Billy) Gollihar-Math Interventionist spearheaded the effort to be recognized as a Purple Star School.

The Boerne ISD Whole Child Department is committed to supporting each student's cognitive, physical, and social-emotional development. Aligning with the ASCD model, we feel children are most successful when they are healthy, safe, engaged, supported, and challenged.

BISD counselors utilize the Great 8 Skills to support the whole child approach. These skills are taught quarterly during Morning Meetings with their homeroom teacher as well as during Guidance Lessons with Mrs. Torres.

Click on each of the skills below to see the definition, the WHY, key concepts, components of each skill, and core tools counselors and teachers use to teach the skill to their students. The Great 8 Skills for 2023-2024:

• Optimistic Thinking

• Self-Management

• Goal Directed Behavior

• Relationship Skills
