We had an eventful week on last week!!! I am grateful we all are able to enjoy the sunshine and warmer weather on this week. Please remember that we are still testing for TELPAS on this week for 2nd-3rd grade and any make-ups from last week. On next week, our 3rd-5th grade scholars will take the MOCK STAAR. We ask that all students are present on next week unless they are ill or exposed to someone that is ill.
We are still battling the fight against COVID. We sent out a call out reminding parents of ways to help us keep the campus as safe as possible. We are asking that if your child has come in close contact with anyone that is showing symptoms of COVID or has been exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID that you keep your child at home. You will simply need to call us at 972-749-4000 and let us know your child is a close contact and we will provide next steps. Also, if your child shows any symptoms of COVID which can include a sore throat, headaches, vomiting, fever, body aches, congestions, runny nose, or diarrhea they should stay home. If your child has these symptoms, please call us and let us know. We advise testing for COVID or speaking with a health professional. Also, if your child is positive, please call us and let us know so we can follow protocol regarding attendance and any close contacts. If you help us by following these guidelines it will help us greatly as we do all we can to keep our campus as safe as possible.
We truly thank you and appreciate you as a parent of Weiss. Please know that if you have any concerns, worries or just questions, we are here to help you. Call us at 972-749-4000. Thank you again!!! Have a wonderful week.
Sincerely,
Principal Merritt
No Tardies and Perfect Attendance
Perfect attendance is a goal for all of our students. We understand emergencies happen and students are sometimes ill. If your child is not experiencing an illness with fever or COVID related symptoms, we ask that they come to school.
If your student has 0 tardy slips & 0 absences, they will be eligible for FREE DRESS FRIDAY at the end of the grading cycle!!!!!
Thanks,
Attendance Committee
Arrival & Dismissal Updates for Drop Off & Pick Up
Students are not to start arriving before 7:15am because safety is our top priority and students must be monitored/supervised.
When parents drop their students off before staff arrives, it becomes a safety concern.
Also, parents must ensure that their student(s) enter the building in the designated grade-level entry ways. This is to support an orderly transition and mitigate the spread of COVID.
