We are experiencing some problems with our District Networking, which is effecting everyone. ANY unauthorized file downloading is prohibited, not to mention use of fellow students' id numbers or passwords. PLEASE STRESS THE SERIOUSNESS OF THIS PROBLEM TO YOUR CHILDREN. We want the CMS environment to run as smooth as possible for our students and staff. Thank you. CHILD SAFETY TRAVEL TO AND FROM SCHOOL We encourage parents to discuss safe practices as our students walk to and from school each day. Please help your child find the safest, most visible route to and from school. You should have a system where your child always keeps you informed if they are not walking straight home. They should know safe practices in dealing with strangers and know how to get help if they find themselves needing assistance. Make arrangements for your child to walk to and from school with others and make sure your child knows his/her address and phone number in case they get lost. Teaching your child to use good judgment and common sense will help them have a safe year traveling to school. FOOD SAFETY Due to new Texas Department of Agriculture regulations, parents may bring food to school ONLY for their own child. For example,we won't be able to bring pizza or even birthday cake for a group of students. Thanks you for your understanding.
