We are required by the state of Texas to cover all textbooks. The school
provides paper book covers, however, we recommend the fabric book covers
because they will last longer.
Please make sure that if your child brings a water bottle or a thermus to
school that they do not leak. Some classes keep their textbooks in their
lockers and may become damaged if they get wet.
**Each child is checked out and responsible for 4 textbooks at the beginning
of the year.
Continue to work on math facts with your child at home. This will make a
huge difference in his/her success in school.
Here are some bits of information that you might find
helpful:
- Late papers: If a paper is more than 3 days late, a zero will be given.
- Failing papers can be corrected up to a 70.
