Connally Independent School District

Connally Elementary School Update

Week of 9/23/2024 - 9/27/2024

Mrs. Redden's Update

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Its hard to believe we just finished the 6th week of school! This year is flying by! Our teachers are busy finalizing grades for progress reports today. These reports will be available to you on Thursday in Skyward. I encourage you to login and view your student's grades to check progress. While these grades are not the final grades for the 1st 9 weeks, they are a good indication of the progress your child is making so far this school year. If you have any questions or concerns about your child's grades, please reach out to your child's teacher through Rooms.

CES will have a Eureka Math Informational Night on Tuesday, October 1st from 5-6 PM. Eureka is the new math curriculum we are using for K-5th grade. We will give information about Eureka, and do a sample lesson for parents so you can see how it is being taught in the classroom. If you are curious, please come ask questions! We look forward to seeing you. This will be different from our Family Night on October 22nd. On Family Night, we will have our annual Title 1 Parent Meeting, Book Fair, as well as different stations for you and your child around the campus.

This week is Homecoming Week! It is always an exciting week around Connally ISD. We will have our annual parade on Wednesday evening starting at 6:45 PM. We will have some Modern Gentlemen and Classy Cadets representing out campus. At this time, we are limited to 10 boys and 10 girls, and those students had a permission slip sent home already. I wish we could have everyone join, but we are very limited on space! We hope to see you at the Homecoming game on Friday evening! As a reminder, students must have an adult with them at the game the entire time unless they are in 9th grade or older.

Title 1 Resources

CES School Parent Compact

CES Title 1 School Wide Plan

Please review our Title 1 parent documents listed above. We will have more information at our first family night on October 22nd. We will have another meeting on October 24th at 8:30 in the library if you are unable to attend October 22nd to review the Title 1 parent information. In the meantime, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please reach out at kredden@connally.org.

Bullying Information

Bullying is not tolerated at CES. If your child comes home and says they are being bullied, or someone else is being bullied, please contact us so we can investigate. It is important that all students feel safe in their classrooms and around the campus so they can learn without distractions. We have had lessons with students already this year on what bullying is and what it is not, and what to do if someone is being bullied.

If you are unsure if a situation is bullying, or you would like to see what we use at school to determine bullying, please visit the following link for more information: Grades 3-5: https://txssc.txstate.edu/videos/prevent-bullying-3-5/

With the addition of David's Law several year ago, school districts are able to investigate bullying situations to include cyberbullying, whether it is done on campus or off campus if it is affecting a student's learning environment at school.
