Kinder Parent Meeting
On Wednesday morning, October 8th, from 8:10-8:45 a.m. I will be available to meet with Kindergarten parents who have questions about how we are addressing and supporting instruction in Kindergarten classrooms.
Altered School Day - International Festival
This Friday, our community will come together to celebrate the diversity of our school. The International Festival volunteers have been working very hard to organize an event that will amaze.
Students will attend classes from 8:00 a.m. until 12:30 p.m., and then are encouraged to come back to campus with a parent or guardian for the International Festival at 3:00 p.m. Students will be given a passport and are encouraged to visit all countries to learn about the music of the culture. Students will also receive a schedule of events and performances.
Dismissal at 12:30 will be a full school dismissal, as there will be no after school child care or Specialities. There will be no HISD bus service, but we have communicated with the private child care providers that usually pick up at Roberts. You may want to communicate directly to make sure they understand the altered schedule.
We will provide an opportunity on Wednesday for you to tell us how your child will go home. We will send a paper form for you to complete and return on Thursday. We will create a dismissal plan after we know how many families will choose each option. The dismissal plan will be sent home on Thursday.
Planning Trips for the Holidays
Planning a big trip for the holidays? As you make plans for holiday travel, please take a moment to look at the school calendar. Travel cannot be excused, and any student with three or more unexcused absences are in violation of compulsory attendance laws.
To avoid violating attendance laws, some international families have chosen to withdraw their students and then re-enroll upon their return. I am very concerned, specifically for families of kindergarten students and magnet students. Because of the high enrollment in Kindergarten, we will not be able to re-enroll your child in Kindergarten. Magnet students are attending on a magnet transfer, and upon withdrawal, we have been told the transfer is no longer available.
Please feel free to email our Registrar, Ms. Walji (awalji@houstonisd.org), about your specific situation if you have questions.
Thanksgiving: November 26-30. School resumes Monday, December 1
Winter Break: December 20-January 5. School resumes Tuesday, January 6
***Exciting Field Trips just around the corner! Are you an approved Volunteer through the VISITS system? If not, please contact Ms. Niksch for more information.
Have a great week!
