Happy Wednesday, families! 

Our school year is going strong! Kids are falling into a routine, our hallways are orderly, and we are seeing many happy learners. A few notes for this week:

--Mrs. Hawkins and Mrs. Chartrand

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.  We will not serve them.

Background ChEcks

Families: Savannah requires background checks for anyone volunteering on campus OR coming to campus for lunch with their student/s. Make sure your background check is up to date. We will begin allowing families to eat lunch with their students on August 28th. This gives our teachers  and students time to practice cafeteria procedures properly before we welcome guests.

a note on half days

In Denton ISD, our teachers are a Professional Learning Community, in short, this means we work together to ensure all kids learn at high levels. We do not believe that they are “my kids” but they are “all of our kids!” In order to do this work, our district has built in collaboration time for our teachers which directly impacts our instructional practices. Even though it is a half day for students, it is important that your students are present for learning, as we have a modified instructional schedule. This is not a “free day”, so it is important that students are in the building to learn. In addition, it is essential that you pick your student up on time (12 PM) so that teachers can get straight to planning. If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. We appreciate your support as we continue to do what’s best for kids.
