Principal's Message
On another note, I want to remind our families we are still accepting new students. CCISD is proud to provide free breakfast and lunch to all students in our district. Los Encinos Elementary is a Texas Education Agency four star distinct designation campus who earned a "B" report card grade for our 2019 STAAR scores. Our inspiring campus and hard working staff is ready to help new students who enroll at our campus soar to success.

Attendance Matters
Please keep in mind the following procedures for student absences:
* Our campus will only accept five written excuses from parents/guardians per semester.
* No more than 10 written excuses from parents/guardians will be accepted.Doctor's excuses will be required once the 10 written excuses from parents/guardians have been exhausted.
*Written or doctor's excuses must be turned into our campus no more than two days after the absence from school.
*Students must be fever free for 24 hours before returning to school.
Please reach out to our Parent Liaison, Mrs. Salinas at evila.salinas@ccisd.us or our Data Clerk, Ms. Uresti at lisa.uresti@ccisd.us if you have any questions about our district attendance policies.
Daily Attendance Week of September 9th-13th
Mon., Sept. 9th: 96% 18 absences
Tues., Sept. 10th: 98% 8 absences
Wed., Sept. 11th: 98% 6 absences
Thurs., Sept. 12th: 99% 5 absences
Fri., Sept. 13th: 96% 13 absences
***Let's work on making sure our student absences on Mondays and Fridays are no more than 10 students. Friday is assessment day for our campus. Coming back to school on a Monday to make up 2-4 tests plus learn new material for the week can be very overwhelming for students. Attendance matters each and every school day. We can do it Mighty Eagles!
Los Encinos daily attendance goal is 96%.

PTA Membership Drive Contest
Joining PTA does not mean you have to volunteer. Your membership actually serves as a fundraiser to help purchase many instructional items for our school and sponsor before/during/after school events. Did you know our PTA funded the cost of the moon jumps for our students on the last day of school last year? They have purchased ink for classroom printers, headphones for our computer lab, supplies needed for Accelerated Reader celebrations plus more. This year our PTA has even bigger goals to reach, but please note fundraisers such as signing up PTA members are necessary in order for this to happen.
