Important Reminders and Updates
Texan Town
Please click on the following link to start brainstorming ideas you have for a Texan Town Club for this fall session!
Remember we need to have as many clubs as possible, so there will be very limited clubs that have two people helping to facilitate. If you do have an idea for a club with someone, you will have to have to be able to take at least 20-25 kiddos for the club.
Educator Goals
Remember to please make sure you are thinking about your goals for this year and working on getting those entered into Eduphoria by September 25th. We will be starting our educator goal setting meetings the week of September 28th.
Vertical Meetings
Remember to please plan on blocking off from 3:15-5:00pm each time we have vertical meetings. We will not always stay the full amount of time, but this time is for vertical alignment, professional learning and discussions including district information from our campus content specialists.
We will be having an overarching topic like we did last year as a focus for each meeting. This week the focus will be RtI and we will be all together in the library as we have Jeff Minn and Becky Rainbolt coming over to help train everyone on collecting data and appropriate interventions for helping with Behavior and Speech/Artic Lab.
Book Fair
We have new parents in charge of our Book Fair this year, so you should be getting more info this week for scheduling, etc. Please be patient as our PTO helps to get them all ready to roll for the 1st Book Fair for the year!

Progress Reports
I know it seems crazy, but it is already time for progress reports! 4th and 5th grade teachers, make sure you have your grades entered by Wednesday, September 23rd at 8:00am. If you are a K-3rd grade teacher and have a learner struggling, you may want to touch base with parents so they aren't surprised or be ready to discuss during the parent conference date in October.

Final Quotes
As we are going through this year, please remember that it is far to easy judge others. . .we must learn to sit back and reflect, try to be understanding of others points of views, perceptions and realities.
Our goal should not only be to support all of our educators, learners and families here at TCE, but also to help all of our learners understand the importance of empathy and how this may help them to become a better, stronger and more compassionate individual in this every changing world.
