Miss Martinez - You had a vision and you made it happen! Thank you for all of your hard work scheduling the 4th grade field trip to Austin! - Love, Koen
4th grade team, 4th grade parents, and everyone else who helped with the field trip- Our students made memories because of you! Thank you! - Love, Koen
Mrs. Monroy - Thank you for all you do to help all the staff members and students! You are always there lending a helping hand!- Love, Koen
Ms. James- I LOVE the Pinwheels for Peace! Thank you for helping to make our campus so special!- Love, Koen
CE Staff - Thank you for all of the hard work and openness for change as we have expanded and improved our Special Services on campus. We have moved to a push-in model and our students are loving it! We have seen growth in our student's academics and behavior. I love the team teaching and collaboration that is happening all over the campus!- Love, Koen
I am excited to announce that we will be welcoming a NEW POSTER MAKER to Carrollton Elementary!
I have ordered headphones for each classroom teacher in grades PK-5. Classroom Pack includes 30 CA-2 headphones, 30 storage bags and carrying case. Each headphone has foam, on-ear, noise-reducing ear cups to diminish exterior sounds. The headband is flexible, adjusts to fit most student sizes and features recessed wiring.
We will let you know when they arrive.
*Please note these will need to be turned in at the end of the year*
Thank you to Mrs. Caceres for all she does for our staff and students!
Because of our initiative, Perry Middle School is now getting a book machine! I am wanting this on every CFB campus!
