Upcoming Dates and Reminders
There is No School on February 14th and 17th for students.
We will be celebrating Valentine's Day with our classes on Thursday, February 13th! We will host a party of both the AM and PM classes. Information and a SignUp Genius are in an email and Seesaw message now!
Students will be passing out Valentines that they bring from home at our parties. Please address each card "To: My Friend". This makes it much easier for your child to deliver their Valentines independently. We have 5 students in our AM class, and 4 students in our PM class. Each child will make a bag in class to hold their Valentines.
Yearbooks are on SALE! ECSE will have a page dedicated to our class. You can order a yearbook and create an ad/dedication page if you'd like online at yearbookordercenter.com. Our order number for O.C. Taylor is 17833. Last day to order an ad is March 15, and last day to order the yearbook is April 12.
We will go outside for recess every day as long as it is not raining and the wind chill is above 32 degrees. Now that we are in winter, please check the temperature projections and send your child with a jacket. It can be very cold outside on the playground!
If your student is absent for any reason, please email the teacher and copy paola.cervantes@gcisd.net and elissa.faught@gcisd.net. This is our Attendance Clerk and our school nurse here at OC Taylor. If your child rides the bus, please also call transportation at (817) 251-5592 to let them know.
