Volume 1, Issue 4 Week of November 13 - November 26, 2017 Principal’s Update Can you believe Thanksgiving Week is knocking at the door? As we make our way through the week, remind students that they sll need to keep working hard. On Thursday 11/ 16, the cafeteria will be serving their Thanks- giving Luncheon. We welcome every- one to get a plate ($5.50). Parents have been invited to this wonderful event. Again I would like to thank all the Veterans on our campus. THANK YOU to Mrs. Tarango, Mrs. Jackson, Mr. Avalos, Mr. Chavez, Mr. Landin, Mr. Hipps, and Mr. Townes. THANK YOU to everyone that went out and voted. The SISD Bond 2017 passed with a 60% to 40 % margin. Teachers, remember that we must be at our doors greeng the students when the bell rings at 7:30am. If there is an unforeseeable reason for tardiness or absence, please make sure and call or text your administrator. The first 10 people that Tell Alba Reza, “COWBOYS ARE HALL OF FAME” will receive a spe- cial treat this week. We are geng the Principals’ Student Advisory Commiee up and running. Please send me names of 6th, 7th and 8th graders that would be a strong and honest voice for the stu- dents. I hope that everyone gets to spend some quality me with their loved ones over THANKSGIVING WEEK. Get some much needed rest and come back strong to finish off the 1st semester. Week at a Glance: 11/16 DSC all day; Here rest of the week. AP’s in Action By Earl Sanchez & Frenda Serda-Gerardo What a week! Only four days but it seemed like five. Oh well, what’s important is that we made it. Needless to say, 1 more week before the tryptophan rush. I can already see myself sleeping the days away because of too much Turkey. (I’m geng ahead of my- self.) Hear we go, I want to remind everyone to please do not leave the students unaended. I have made calls to the classrooms and students answering tell me that the teacher is not in the room. When I inquire as to the whereabouts of the teacher, the students say they do not know. Please make it a point to have your room covered if you need to leave for a quick break (bathroom, etc..) We understand life happens. Also, we certainly have had our share of classroom disrupons as well as class ex- change disrupons. Maintain a presence by making sure you are in the hallways during class exchang- es. The greater the adult presence, the less likely students will misbe- have. Let’s make this week pleasant for all of us especially the students. Oh, before I forget, make sure your room doors are in the lock posi- on. They do not necessarily have to be closed, but the door handle has to be in the lock posion. Let’s have a great week buckaroos!!!!! Counseling Corner By Salvador Chavez & Torita Hansby Hello everyone, Just a quick reminder that we will be doing a run through of Ap- ply TX with the 8th grade students on Monday, Nov 14th. PE classes will be in the Lab, and CTE students will in their classroom. We hope to have a very smooth process when we do the Apply TX on the 15th - 17th of November. Thank you in advance for everyone's support during this process. Further instruc- ons are forth coming for the ad- ministraon process of the Apply TX. 7 th and 8 th grader Teachers Please reinforce with all your clas- ses and encourage your students about taking the PSAT. Its 10 dol- lars and it will be administered on Dec 1 st . Tell your students that they can come to the counseling suite and pay for it. Tips of the Week Culvate and live in a posive environment. Who you choose to spend your me with and the input you get from further away like the TV, the internet and magazines will have a huge effect on your outlook. To be able to stay posive it is essenal to have influences in your life that support you and liſt you up instead of dragging you down. So carefully consider what you let into your mind.

If asked, we be- lieve all teachers would say that they have high expectaons for all of their students. Unfortunately, we may be saying/believing one thing; then, our acons communicate something completely different to our stu- dents. This online arcle will break down acons that communicate low expectaons and acons that com- municate high expectaons to our students, so that what we say and what we do match. hps://www.middleweb.com/24030/do-we-really-have-high-expectaons/
