From the Principal's Desk
- Enjoy jeans on Thursday and pajamas on Friday!
- Here's a big shout out to Candice Cook for the phenomenal job she does with Norwood's social media. Thank you!
- CEIC meets on Wednesday at 3:30. I will send an email reminder to those who serve on this committee.
- As you make instructional plans this week, please remember to make your lessons and activities meaningful so that continued learning takes place everyday. Holiday instructional activities can certainly fit that.
- Please help our custodial staff by having your students pick up pencils, crayons, paper, and anything else on the floor before they leave. Thank you if this is a regular habit for your class.
- A few weeks ago Governor Greg Abbott declared the week of January 27th to be Holocaust Remembrance Week, with January 27th designated as Holocaust Remembrance Day in the State of Texas. Senate Bill 1828 had been passed during the last legislative session and the bill will go into effect this year. Holocaust Remembrance instruction will be given to students Pre-K thru 12 in Burleson ISD and will include age-appropriate material, which is recommended by the Texas Holocaust and Genocide Commission has been prepared and coordinated by the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum. Prepared lesson plans and a scope and sequence has been prepared and you are welcome to view the Holocaust Remembrance Week Instructional Content. An introductory video with instructions and procedures is being created and will be sent out to teachers and administration several weeks before the remembrance week observance.
