Truitt Middle School
February 2022
A NOTE FROM MS. GARCIA
Dear Parents,
Hopefully we do not see any more freezing weather this year!
Testing season is just around the corner. Please see the information in this newsletter about STAAR testing and mark your calendars of the important dates.
Over the past few weeks, we have had issues with vaping at Truitt. Please check the important Powerpoint below for vaping signs and information. Talk with your child about the importance of living a drug-free lifestyle.
Lastly, we have recently had some Uber Eats and DoorDash deliveries for students, which is not allowed for many reasons. One reason is that students have met the driver at the door and let them in without checking into the office first. This is a MAJOR safety issue. Please remember that we do not accept food deliveries from companies for students and will not be accepted from here on out.
Thank you for all you do to keep the students at Truitt safe.
Sincerely,
Yvette Garcia

CAR RIDER INFO
IMPORTANT CAR RIDER INFORMATION
The safety of our students is our first priority. Please make sure you are following these important car rider procedures.
*All cars need to move as forward as possible into the drop off zone before students unload.
*Do not let students out on the street. This is not safe for your student.
*Please make a right turn only when exiting the parking lot after dropping off your student. Left turns are not allowed and hold up the car rider line.
*When picking up your student at 2:50, please get in the car rider line. Students are walking in between cars and it is not safe.
*Please do not drive on the wrong side of the road to bypass everyone in the car rider line. It is dangerous to all drivers in cars and students on our buses.
Thank you for keeping our students safe.

2022 NATIONAL SCHOOL COUNSELING WEEK FEBRUARY 7th to 11th
FILL THE FRIDGE!
We are trying to schedule future staff appreciation events for our staff. It would be awesome if you could help fill the fridge for our staff to enjoy a cold treat during the school day! Donations can be dropped off at our front desk. Soft drinks, gatorade, water, and individually wrapped treats would be great! Staff appreciation is the first week of May.
Thank you!
