A Note from the Principal
Hello, parents!
Kids are practicing procedures, getting to know each other, and learning! Here are a few reminders:
• Kids should wear tennis shoes daily. They go to recess and PE every day. Crocs, boots, and sandals are not part of the district dress code.
• Families may visit for lunch starting the week after Labor Day. We are limited on space, so please do not send more than 2 adults per visit. Visitors may eat lunch with a child once a week. The remaining 4 days are for the child to enjoy lunch with the kids in class.
o
Example: Mom and grandmother visit a child on Tuesday. No other family members should visit that week. The next week, maybe Mom and Dad visit.
o
You are welcome to bring food for your child during your visit. Please do not bring food for any of your child’s friends.
o
You can only pull your child to eat with you at the parent tables. o Please do not take pictures of other children in the class and post them on social media.
I want to clear up any confusion regarding free lunch this year.
For the past two years, Pasadena ISD has received a grant that allowed all students to get free lunch. The grant expired, and this year all families must APPLY to qualify for free or reduced lunch. Please see the process below to determine your next steps:
