We are doing our best to schedule all ARD meetings on Friday. Unfortunately, there are a lot of initial ARD meetings and not enough time. Some ARD meetings will need to be scheduled on a different day. Thank you for being flexible.
Kacie’s Run is fast approaching for the 2023 school year. Kacie’s Run is a 5K Run and 1 Mile Family Fun Run Benefiting the All Stars Special Olympics Team of CFBISD. This year the event is scheduled for March 25th, 2023 at Standridge Stadium. The event is named Kacie’s Run to Honor a Legacy of Love. As an R. L. Turner High School freshman, Kacie Brekhus became involved in the Torch Run, benefiting Special Olympics. As a senior, she served as the student coordinator. Kacie died in a traffic accident in October 2003 while a freshman at The University of Texas at Austin.
Look for more information from Mrs. Lane.

Monday Morning Message
Please make sure to send out your Monday Morning Message. This is an expectation for all teachers. As a parent, communication is so important! This is also something you can put on your TTESS for communication.
When looking at Parent Square, I am noticing that we are busy and possibly forgetting to send the Monday Morning Message. Please make sure this is sent out weekly (I do not care if it is on a Monday).
