It's happening...Falcon Frolics is tomorrow! We will be headed out to the upper playground at 8:40 am and starting promptly at 8:45 am. I'm excited, and I'm sure that our students are as well. GO TEAM ROBINSON!!
SCHOLASTIC ORDERS & BOX TOPS Tomorrow is also the last day for Scholastic Book orders (I will be placing the online order at 3:30pm). For your convenience I have placed a link to our classroom Scholastic Reading Club on the Online Orders Page. You can also click the image to the right and be directed to the site. We will be also turning Box Tops into the office tomorrow morning. If you have any last minute Box Tops you would like to turn in, we would be more than happy to have them. Remember, the class that collects the most Box Tops wins EXTRA RECESS. Let me just say, the kids really, really, REALLY want it. GT TESTING I've had a few questions about GT testing information this year. I would like to share with you the information I have received from Mrs. Sherrie Johnson, our FTE GT Instructor. Gifted and Talented (GT) assessments will be taking place for K-5th graders in October. Parents interested in learning more about this program are asked to attend one of the 2 parent informational meetings: Monday, October 5th at 7:45 AM or Thursday, October 8th at 12:00 PM. Both meetings will be held in the GT room (#58). Please direct any questions to Sherrie Johnson ([email protected]). If you decide to have your child assessed, the deadline for completing the consent to test form (online) is Monday, October 26th by 5:00 PM. A link to this form will be placed on the FTE webpage on Monday, September 28th. Testing is set for Oct. 28 - Nov. 24th. Please remember that Eanes I.S.D. GT is not for academically advanced students. The students who qualify in our program have a high degree of creativity (divergent / original thinking ) coupled with a high intellect (able to solve problems that they have not seen or learned about). Mrs. Johnson will be happy to field questions from parents... [email protected] PHOTO DAY Quick reminder that Individual Picture Day is Tuesday, Sept. 29th. Order envelopes from Lifetouch were sent home last week in your child’s Thursday folder. Every student’s picture will be taken for the yearbook whether they order or not. If you wish to place an order return the order form to me on or before Sept. 29th or be prepared by ordering online at mylifetouch.com.
