Wildcat Weekly Update Week of November 23rd
Good Afternoon Wildcat Families,
We are now into the second nine weeks of the school year and it is critical that all students are on time and present for school.
Remember if your child is out that you need to submit an absence note using the link on the school website to upload your note. All students should be in class by 7:50.
If you need to change your child’s transportation information for the day, please be sure to complete the transportation change form on the school website prior to 2pm. If you are picking up your child in the car rider line please make sure you have your car rider tag displayed. All students should be picked up by 3:00.
As a reminder, for parents and visitors coming to have lunch please remember that outside food and drinks are not permitted in the cafeteria. Please make sure to pay your child’s lunch balance. You can pay online at https://www.k12paymentcenter.com/
This week students attend school on Monday and Tuesday.
Monday, November 24th is the deadline for the PTO Texas Roadhouse gift card fundraiser.
If you feel your child performs at “substantially high level of accomplishment when compared with others of their age,” you may refer your child to be screened by the AIG Committee at our school. Parents may refer their child/children to the AIG committee through a written request to Dr. Hersinger stating why your child should be considered for screening, with details and/or examples that show a need for differentiated gifted services.The AIG referral date deadline is the last day school is in session before the Thanksgiving holiday. This means that Tuesday is the last day to submit a parent referral letter for AIG.
The Thanksgiving Break begins on Wednesday,November 26th and there is no school. All students should return back to school on Monday, December 1st. We hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable Thanksgiving Break.
Looking ahead :
PTO Skate Night is Monday, December 8th at Roll-A-Bout Skating Center.
We invite you to participate in our Holiday Wishes for Our Troops project! E.M. Holt Wildcats will be creating and sending cards and letters to our troops to thank them for their service and spread some holiday cheer. You are welcome to participate from home and send in any cards and letters that you would like for us to include with the cards and letters that we create at school. All letters need to be turned in by Friday, December 12th.
These are all of our updates and reminders for this week. We thank you for your continued support and have a good night.
