A Note from Mrs. Cockrell
Dear Chisholm Trail Families,
We hope you are enjoying the spring time as much as we are at school. First grade and kindergarten took their first ever virtual field trips this month. We also recognized our 2021 Teacher and Paraprofessional of the year this week. Congratulations to Karly Sury and Wendi Pyron!
Sanger ISD is hosting Pre-K and Kinder registration at First Baptist Church THIS Tuesday, April 20th, from 10:00am-7:00pm. If you have a student who will be attending Pre-K or Kindergarten in the fall, please make plans to attend and register your student on this date. If you know anyone who has students who will attend Pre-K and/or Kindergarten in the fall, but do not already have students in SISD, please let them know, too. You will receive information at a later date about our online registration for returning students.
Thank you for sharing your children with us!

She is quick to adapt to any situation that may arise during the day and addresses any challenge as an opportunity to find a solution.
Mrs. Pyron is dedicated to increasing learning outcomes for all children and is just as dedicated to serving her colleagues. She supports all those around her with as much tenacity as she shows for students. Mrs. Pyron is a team player and her positivity, solution-oriented mindset, and sense of humor make her an ideal 2021 Paraprofessional of the Year for Chisholm Trail.

Arrival
Thank you for getting your students to school on time! Drop off time begins at 7:35 each morning. Staff will be available to supervise students at 7:35 so please do not allow students to walk up to the building before this time.
Each morning the back gate is closed at 7:45 when school begins. If you arrive to drop off your child and this gate is closed, there is no staff on duty in the back and the doors are locked. Any students arriving after 7:45 need to be dropped off and may enter the front of the school. Thanks for helping us ensure student safety!
Health Reminder
As we continue to work hard on campus to keep our children and staff safe, we are asking you to continue to be diligent in reporting to us when your student is either having symptoms, has been exposed, or has received a positive COVID-19 test result. Should you have questions, you may contact me at ccockrell@sangerisd.net or our nurse, Courtney Lynch at courtney.lynch@sangerisd.net.
Arrival/Dismissal
We appreciate that you have your car tags hanging on your mirror at dismissal. In the case of a forgotten tag, we will do an ID check as efficiently as possible, but we may ask you to pull up ahead of the line and wait for a moment.
