Staff Shout Outs

Want to salute a Connally Primary employee who goes above and beyond what is expected? You can show your appreciation by giving them a Cadet Compliment! Compliments are one of the most valuable gifts we can give another person and are often the most meaningful payments a person will receive for their efforts.

Use this form to submit your nomination for the Connally Primary Cadet Compliment Recognition Program.

Cadet Compliment recipients will receive a certificate of gratitude, a shout-out during our Morning Assembly, be featured in our weekly campus newsletters, and their pictures will be posted on the campus Facebook page to let others know the faces of Connally Primary’s difference makers!

Parent Drop-Off Procedures

Parent Drop-Off begins at 7:00 AM. The far right lane is for buses and Connally ISD employees only. Parents are not allowed to drive in this lane in order to drop their students off at the front of the school due to buses using these lanes to drop off bus riders. Parents cannot park and walk their child to the front door during drop-off time unless parents need to drop off medication to the nurse. The far left lane is also used for buses dropping off students at the Jr High.

The middle lane is the only lane utilized for Parent Drop-Off. School is in session from 7:30 AM to 3:45 PM. The Parent Drop-Off line will be stopped at 7:25 to allow our staff members to enter the building at 7:30 so they are able to go to their designated posts in the building as school begins at 7:30. Students who arrive between 7:25 and 7:30 will be escorted inside by a staff member. After 7:30, student  must be accompanied by a parent or guardian to the front door to be signed in as tardy.
