General Policies
If you are going to bring cupcakes or cookies for a birthday, please remember they must be store-bought and not contain peanuts (due to allergies). These will be passed out in the classroom after 3:00 pm to not interrupt the classroom learning time. Also, please don’t bring latex balloons since we have students with allergies to those as well.
Student Behavior
As part of the Texas Education Code (Sec. 37.0012), all schools in Texas shall designate a Campus Behavior Coordinator whose primary responsibility is to maintain student discipline for the campus and be a contact for parents or guardians concerning individual student disciplinary actions by the school. The person designated may be the principal of the campus or any other campus administrator selected by the principal.
