The Rocket Report Family Edition
September 17, 2021
Families,
We are entering the bottom half of the first nine weeks. Every year seems to go faster and faster.
Just a reminder that the district does not send home progress reports during the first nine weeks. Teachers will reach out to you if grades are not where they should be.
Thank you for everything you do to help us be successful each day.
Loving these somewhat cooler temperatures. I hope you have the happiest, and most restful weekend.

International Dot Day
International Dot Day is celebrated by adults and children by boosting courage so that their creative potential is released. It is a great day to connect, collaborate, and also to celebrate self-expression.
We had so much fun celebrating Dot Day at Rainwater this year! Make sure you check out our dot display in the front windows of the school!
ATTENDANCE!!! A message from our new attendance clerk:
Parents, please reach out to Cynthia Corral, when your child is absent.
The best ways to communicate your child’s absences:
Parent Square or email (corralc@cfbisd.edu)
It is not necessary to call. We need excuses for absences in writing. Phone calls do not excuse absences.
Please remember to include any doctors’ notes or additional supporting documents.
Thank you!!!
Cynthia Corral

Learning While Quarantined
CFBISD continues to look at the best way to support our students and families during these challenging times. Though health protocols and guidelines continue to change, our top priority is to ensure that our students receive quality instruction and support as they return to school.
If your child is quarantined, the plan is that the student’s teachers will provide essential work in Canvas, SeeSaw or on paper to be completed while students are quarantined. These lessons will be designed to meet their classroom needs and reduce the need for duplicate work.
Please note the following:
- While your child is quarantined, our teachers will provide essential assignments (paper and/or online links) so quarantined students do not get behind academically.
- Students will complete the assignments at home with parental support.
- We will work with students so they are supported when they return to the classroom.
- Absences are marked and totaled, but we make note of why the child is absent.
