The Fall Book Fair will be December 1st-5th, the week we return from break. Your student should be coming home with the preview flyer and parent letter following their Library day this week.
The Library website contains all the information you may need about Book Fair. Here are the highlights:
📙Open December 1st-5th during school hours
📘Students official shopping day will be on their Library day
📗Individual shoppers needing to come on an alternative day may be sent at an appropriate time by their classroom teacher
📙Family Shopping Night is Wednesday, December 3rd from 5:30pm-7:30pm
📘Parents are also welcome to visit the fair with their students if they are here at an alternate time such as visiting for lunch
📗We run a CoinLESS fair which means we do not have coins to give back as change
📙Purchases that are rounded up the next dollar for Share the Fair benefit our school and students receive a raffle ticket for a prize drawing
📘Most methods of payment are accepted, but our favorite and the easiest is setting up an eWallet - just follow the link on the book fair webpage
📗There are still volunteer slots open if you would like to help make our Book Fair a success! Sign Up to volunteer today!

If you have questions or would like to meet with me, please don’t hesitate to reach out. My email is jrunion@dentonisd.org or there is more information on the SES Counselor's website
Thank you for allowing me to partner with you to support your child’s academic and emotional success!
Denton ISD values parent/guardian partnership in learning. We support parents/guardians as the primary educators of their children. As a parent/guardian, you have the right to preview all education material. If you would like to request that your child NOT attend one of the above presentations, please contact Jenn Runion (School Counselor) at jrunion@dentonisd.org.
A NOTE ON BIRTHDAYS:
We are happy to celebrate your child's birthday at school. We allow parents to send birthday trinkets for their child's class if they want, however, WE DO NOT ALLOW BIRTHDAY TREATS or FOODS. Cupcakes/cake/candy etc. compete with healthy meals and snacks and may affect students with food allergies. We will not serve them.
Special Areas rotations will shift beginning October 15th for the 2nd Nine Weeks.
Be sure to know what day your Gators have P.E. and when they need their Library books! (Though Mrs. Holt recommends they have their books at school EVERY day!)
We are needing donations of every day items you have at home! Items can be sent in any time from now until MARCH!
Don't Forget to Sign Up:
Our goal is for 100% of Savannah families to complete the application—even if you think you won’t qualify. Why? Because the more families who apply, the better chance we have of qualifying for free meals for all students during the 2025–2026 school year! Don't forget you must reapply each year!
Apply here or using the button below.
It will prompt you to sign up for a SchoolCafe account first (or sign in if you already have an account from last year), then you click on the benefits link within.
