Campus Parent Communication - November 12, 2021
Thank you to our AMAZING PTA for helping us coordinate our Veterans Day celebration yesterday. It was such a wonderful event, and we are proud to honor those that have served. I've included some of the pictures below.
We're looking forward to our Bedtime Stories with the Principals on Tuesday, December 7th. We'd love for you and your children to join us. PTA will be providing milk and cookies for you to take home with you. :-)
We're extremely thankful for each of you, and we truly appreciate your support. As a reminder, Friday, November 19th will be an early release day. Students will then be off for Thanksgiving Break from November 22-26. We hope you have a wonderful time with your family and friends.
Have a great weekend!
Thank you,
Tonya Jasenof

Vaughan Elementary
No Lunch Visitors
In addition, on early release days we will not be allowing lunch visitors. We have two this semester. They include Friday, November 19th and Friday, December 17th.

Room Parents
We will only be having room parents in attendance at classroom parties this year. If you would like to be the head or co-room parent for your child's homeroom, please complete this form. Please know that while we love having all volunteers on campus, we're only allowing one head room and one co-room parent per class. If you're not the head room parent or the co-room parent for your child's homeroom, you can still volunteer and support them. Thank you!
**If we have multiple room parents per class, we will just randomly draw for each homeroom.

Testing for potential gifted identification for students in Grades 1-11 will be in the spring. Please watch for announcements after the winter break via district and campus administration.

Father Daughter Ball, Saturday, December 4, 2021
We've gone Hollywood! The cameras are flashing, the stars are out and we've rolled out the red carpet for our 21st Annual Father Daughter Ball. Join us for a fun evening including dancing, light refreshments, pictures, and prizes. New this year, we will have three dances.

Twilight Dance 4:30-5:30 pm KG and under
Evening Dance One 6:00-7:30 pm Gr 1-3
Evening Dance Two 8:30-10:00 pm Gr 4-7
The ages and grades are recommendations only; however, the dance format and music selections will be geared towards the targeted age group. Registration is limited this year and is held on a first-come, first-serve basis. Tickets are dance specific. Cancellations will be accepted and a refund will be issued as long as the cancellation is received by noon on Nov. 29, 2021. New this year, each person attending must buy a ticket; we no longer offer "Couple Tickets”. If you have questions please call or email Sandra Lovesey at 972-727-0502 or sandra.lovesey@allenisd.org.
