Important Reminders and Updates
Report Cards
Make sure and have all of your grades turned in and ready for Brett to run everything first thing Tuesday morning at 8:00am! Also, please double check when putting report cards into envelopes for sending home on Friday to ensure each student is getting the appropriate card/info sent home.
No Texan Town
Due to the large number of people off campus on Friday, we are going to cancel Texan Town for this week. We will still have our usual Friday schedule time (specials starting at 9:30). We will look to later in the semester to see if we will have another day to make it up.
T-STEM Conference
We will have many staff members off campus on Thursday and Friday due to presenting at the conference in San Antonio. During this time, Linda Cook will be stopping by and we will have two administrators who are going to be helping us out. Tricia Badillo (AP at Denton Creek) and Todd Herauf (AP at Lee) will be here alternating days or possibly both on one day. Please keep this in mind as you have issues that arise with your kiddos and try to work through as many problems as you can with your learners and their parents. This does not mean you can't send a child to the office, but please try to limit if possible for larger issues.

I am reading a wonderful book right now by George Couros, who I had the chance to hear speak before (you may have the opportunity to hear this year). He speaks to innovation in learning and how we can empower our learners! Great read if you are looking for something to keep you thinking about the future of learning!
