The Hawk Report
Christa McAuliffe MS Parent Newsletter - Week of May 8
A Message From Our Principal, Mr. Lemon
Greetings Hawk Nation Parents and Students,
STAAR is finally over and we are officially on the countdown to Summer Break!As we go through these next few weeks, we desperately need your help. This is around the time when students begin to test boundaries and forget the expectations set at school; we cannot let this happen. Please speak with your Hawk Scholar and remind them that they are expected to follow all school rules, and conduct themselves in a manner that respects themselves, others, and your family. Students must recognize that we are still in school, and any disruption(s) to the learning environment will result in consequences, regardless of how many days we have left.
As we continue our journey into the Spring Semester, we ask that you keep the following important updates in mind:
- All Grades Need to Return Laptops & Library Books. All students need to return their laptops, chargers, and library books ASAP. Unreturned laptops range from $650.00 - $850.00 and unreturned chargers are $50.00 dollars; library book vary in price. Items can be turned into the front office or Library. Any 8th graders who do not turn in all of their items will not be able to participate in 8th Grade Spirit Week.
- Progress Report 8 Grades Posted Last Week. Please review your student's Skyward account and make sure that all grades are passing (70 and above). We are encouraging students to strive for A's & B's as we know that our Hawks are more than capable of high academic success. Should you have a question or concern about your student's grade, please contact the classroom teacher.
- Attendance Matters! Each instructional day is filled with new material and additional opportunities for student growth. It is essential that we have our Hawk Scholars in attendance each and every day, for the entirety of the day. Please remember that Texas has a 90% rule that states that a student must be in attendance 90% of the time to receive credit for a course. Should an emergency or illness arise and your student must be out, please be sure to send a note to Ms. Katrina Taylor, CMMS Attendance Clerk, at Katrina.Taylor@fortbendisd.com, so that the absence can be excused.
- The first week back we reviewed our campus expectations to ensure our Hawks continue to be Hawk PROUD. Feel free to review the presentation with your student, and continue to encourage them to make good choices each and every day.
Let's continue to work together, and please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any questions or concerns. Remember, we are Hawk Nation... Hawk Proud!
Mr. Trevor Lemon
Principal, Christa McAuliffe MS
Attention 8th Grade Parents - 8th Grade Spirit Week
Attention 8th Grade Parents... The Time Has Arrived! May 15-19 is "8th Grade Spirit Week" at CMMS! We are so proud of the many accomplishments of our 8th graders and are excited to celebrate them.

Mandatory Student IDs Are Here!
Students will be required to visibly display their Student ID badge, on the grade-level colored lanyard provided, around their neck, with the picture clearly visible. They are not allowed to deface the ID in anyway, or else they will need to purchase a new one. Students badges will provide access to the following services within the building:
- Cafeteria meal payments
- Library services
- Entrance to campus events (dances, PBIS events, etc.)
In the event that a student reports to school without his/her ID, they will receive a temporary wristband upon entry into the building. After receiving 3 temporary wristbands, students will be required to purchase a new badge for $5.00. ID fees can be paid via RevTrak.
Should you have any questions regarding ID badges, please contact Mr. Brandon Woodard, Assistant Principal, at Brandon.Woodard@fortbendisd.com.
