The most important things...
Look for field trip forms coming home on Monday for the Fort Worth Zoo. Remember anyone who would like to attend is more than welcome on this field trip. You will provide your own transportation and meet us at the gate. All details will be in the flyer coming home.
Thursday we had the Big Kahuna Fundraiser Kick Off! This fundraiser benefits teachers directly with professional development that we might not be able to afford otherwise. Details came home with your student on that day.
Here is everything that you need to know about the upcoming Veteran's Day Program.

Please make sure to sign up for emergency alerts through the district. (See article for how to.) Considering the seriousness of recent happenings in our district, we are not always able to keep in contact with parents during the middle of an emergency. This will provide information via the district. There is an emergency test alert coming soon, so sign up as soon you can!
