Week of September 2

Our PK students are doing so well after
the first week of school!

Celebrate Excellence - End of 1st 3 Weeks
Our first 3 weeks of school will be over on Friday, September 6.  We have been working hard to build high expectations for behavior and learning, and our students have learned a new problem solving strategy called C4B4Me. 

This week, I want to let you know that our district focus for the previous week was relationships.  We know that no significant learning occurs without a significant relationship first, and our teachers and staff are working hard to build strong relationships with all kids.  Next week, our weekly emphasis will be student engagement in every classroom.



Bulldogs of the Week

Each week, we will highlight our Bulldogs of the Week.  The Bulldogs of the Week are one student, one staff member, and one volunteer who exemplify our motto, Be The LIGHT.  This week our Bulldogs of the Week are the following:

• Staff Member of the Week - Anneth Garcia, Primary PPCD Teacher (top right)
• Student of the Week - Dean King (bottom right)
• Volunteer of the Week - Brin Ritter (left)

Thank you for all that you do for Carthage ISD.

#BeTheLIGHT

Our motto for 2019-2020 is "Be the LIGHT".  In order to lead all students to discover their excellence, CISD staff are committed to showing all students the way by being the light for them with their attitude and example.

This week, I will highlight the first letter in our LIGHT acronym, L.  L stands for Love.  We will love our students, and we will inspire students to love learning by modeling our love for learning as educators.  Finally, we will show our love for Carthage ISD, its students and one another so that we can make Carthage ISD better each and every day.
