PBIS Survey-Friendly Reminder to Complete!
The School Improvement and Accountability Department will be launching the PBIS Effective Behavior (EBS) Survey on Monday, January 14th. The EBS Survey window will close on Friday, January 25th.
This survey is important for our campus growth with PBIS. The results from your EBS Survey are instrumental in our continued refinement of the implementation of the PBIS process at Matzke.
Field Day Shirts...
Our Field Day theme is an Olympic Theme, please vote below for one of two choices: 1. Come up a class name for your homeroom ex. Jacobs Jaguars
2. Each class on the grade level picks a country to represent
We will go with the majority.
Each homeroom teacher will be responsible for creating their artwork for the students to trace and then color on their shirt. See example attached. The artwork needs to be on a white paper with a black sharpie/marker so that it will show through under the shirt. We need the artwork by Friday, Feb. 15th. You can turn yours into Cathy's box!

Terrie Kelley, Kindergarten
This year will be my 29th year teaching. After graduating from the University of Houston, I taught for 7 years before taking 14 years off to be a stay at home mom. I am a native Houstonian but spent a couple of years in Dallas, and 12 years in San Antonio before returning to Houston. At that time, I was fortunate enough to be hired at Matzke where I have taught the last 21 years, 20 years in Kindergarten and 1 year in 1st grade. I have been married for 44 years and have 3 grown children who mean the world to me, and one new daughter-in-law who is truly a daughter too. I love to watch the Astros, Texans and Cougars but I will cheer for any local sports team.

I finished college at UTMB in Galveston, where I received my bachelor degree in nursing. My husband’s name is Pete, and I have two daughters. Sophia is 6, and Meredith is 4. They both keep me pretty busy. In my free time I spend lots of time with my family, and we love to travel.
