MATHEMATICS PENTATHLON NATIONAL ACADEMIC TOURNAMENT
Congratulations to Samhita Prasana in 2nd grade and Ayush Nanda from 3rd grade for their successful participation in the National Mathematics Pentathlon® Academic Tournament. Both students received the Bronze distinction.
They are to be commended for their skills in reasoning using: problem-solving, computation, spatial-geometry, and scientific-logic while focusing on STEM-related goals. During this National Academic Event, they also represented the district well by demonstrating good sportsmanship. WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
End of Year Class Parties RSVP
DEADLINE to RSVP for the End of Year Parties is WEDNESDAY, MAY 30th at 3:00 pm. For parties that are in the building, visitors will need to be pre-registered or sign in at the front office. In the event of bad weather, ALL parties will be indoors, so pre-registration is highly recommended. If you miss the deadline and still wish to attend the parties, you will be asked to sign in at the front office (there will be a long line).
Please fill out the form only AFTER your ID (Driver's License) has been scanned in the front office. Each visitor planning to attend needs to submit a form. Feel free to contact the front office with any questions: 469-633-4075.
YEAR END MEDICATION PICK-UP
The last day of school this year is Friday June 1st . We ask that you please come to school to pick up all of your child’s medication, including Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Cough Drops and Benadryl, on or before Friday June 1st . Any medication left in the clinic after 3:00 PM on June 1 st will be destroyed in accordance with FISD policy. If you’re not sure if you left medication in the clinic for your child this year, please feel free to contact me so I can check for you.
We hope you will understand that this is a safety measure to try and prevent the medication from getting into the wrong hands. This not only protects your child, but it protects other students as well. For safety reasons, we ask that if your child’s medications include any kind of asthma medicine or an Epi Pen that you wait until the last day of school to take your child’s medications home with you.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. I wish you all a very happy, safe, and healthy summer!
Sincerely, Kim Nedderman
