Reservation for Lunch at Sally K. Ride
We have a Sign-Up Genius to reserve a spot to have lunch with your child. In order to give all parents an opportunity to sign up, each adult may only sign up once every three weeks.
There is no visitor seating available in the cafe. Therefore, you may eat in a couple of different areas; Art room, library or outside tables (by gazebo or Trike Track). Certain areas will be designated for specific grades. Please see the outdoor seating map and the Sing Up Genius for more details.
Next week, Oct 12-15th, we will allow 10 parents per lunch period to eat lunch with their child. Please make every effort to eat outside at picnic tables (weather permitting), otherwise you will see your location to eat in the Sign-Up Genius.
Spring Creek BBQ Sauce Fundraiser
Spring Creek has added an additional BBQ Sauce Fundraiser to our Ride Night. From now until October 18th, all the profit will go directly to Ride!!! Please see flyer for details.
It may be a nice gift set for the holidays.
GT Program
Referral requests are now open for Conroe Independent School District Gifted and Talented program. Referral requests can be made by the parents and/or campus staff. It is recommended that parents of 2nd grade students wait until CogAT scores have arrived before nominating their child because CogAT scores are part of the GT assessment. If you are interested in referring your child, you may want to discuss this with your child’s teacher at conferences. Referrals will be accepted through December 17, 2021. Referral form can be accessed through the link below.
