Welcome back to another action packed week!

It all begins with a school wide field trip on Tuesday, to South Campus.  As construction begins on the new athletic fields, we thought it would be great for the students to see the progress and the excavation of the land.  Parents were sent a permission slip last Wednesday.  If you have not filled it out and returned it electronically, please do so.  If we do not have a permission slip on file for your student by tomorrow morning, we will have them remain at the main campus.

Students will tour the grounds and view the on going work remaining a safe but yet visible distance from the construction.  We look forward to sharing this experience with the students and our faculty.

Thursday, February 21st is the Woolrich Luncheon beginning at 11:30 am in the FAC.

Friday, February 22nd is 5th grade Bowling Night at 300 Houston (details sent home in Wolf Watch and via email) and for students in grades 6-8, it is dance night.

Students in grade 6-8 are welcome to attend the dance beginning at 7:30 pm and ending at 10:00 pm.

8th grade students the Lock-in is Friday night February 22nd after the dance.  We have lots of fun activities planned all evening along!  Drop off for the Lock in is 7:30 pm and 8th graders should bring thier overnight items to the FAC prior to entering the gym for the dance.

Action packed week ahead!  Stay tuned !

Have a great week.

Good Morning,

This morning brought us back some cool morning temps and a big breeze but it was great weather standing out at carpool.  Looking forward to seeing the sun!

This is a reminder that if your student is going to be missing a day to please contact the division office either via email or phone 713-458-6140 to notify us of your students absence.  Please refer to the handbook for attendance guidelines and if you are requesting an explained absence please contact me directly via email at least 5 days in advance to have these absences approved.  We certainly will work with families during a crisis but we need your help so our teachers can make sure to keep all of our students current with any work they might miss. Also, if your student is going to need to miss a portion of the day also please try to notify the division office at least 24 hours in advance.

In either scenario, anytime your student will miss class it is always best to check in with their teachers to ensure that your student has all they will need during their time away. Thank you for your assistance.

I hope that you each have a great day!  We are off to chapel and then a full morning of classes.

Steve
