Parent Portal Exercise classes Parents and staff please join us for the free exercise class in the Crestview gym, every Thursday from 4:15 to 5:00pm For additional information contact Paulina Thomas at 254-776-1704 Weather Our seasons are changing. The mornings are cooler with warm afternoons. Think about sending your child to school in layers. Students do go outside for recess, dismissal, and other times during the day. Please make sure your child is dressed for the weather. Read to Succeed Never underestimate the power of reading! Many important life skills are developed through a child’s ability to read, and you can help. Take 20 minutes a night and read with your child. Allowing your child to read to you will open the doors of communication and make the connection from school to home. Ask your child what was their favorite part, character, or event. If you have questions or concerns about your child’s reading skills contact their teacher. Would you like to learn how to get access to your child’s grades, attendance, class schedule, health log, discipline, and more? Call Paulina Thomas at 776-1704 or email paulina.thomas@wacoisd.org to set up a time that is convenient to you. Reminder Campus Decision Making Council Meeting Monday, October 27th from 4:00 PM -- 5:00 PM in the Library. Everybody is invited, please join us!
