Week of October 7

Celebrate Excellence

The 2nd 6 weeks is off and running, and at this time, I would like to thank our teachers for their tremendous work in the 1st 6 weeks of school. Our teachers and staff have worked so hard to raise the expectations for learning and they are continuously working and learning together how to get better at making that happen.

If you would like to know more about your child's performance on our 1st 6 weeks formative assessments, please contact your child's teacher or campus principal.  This data is used to inform students, teachers, and parents on how well children are making growth in their learning.

This month is National Principals Month.  
Thank you to our hardworking principals and assistant principals for all that they do for CISD.

#BeTheLIGHT

October 2 was Custodian Appreciation Day
Thank you to our hardworking custodians for all that
they do for CISD.

Over the past 5 weeks, I have shared the five pillars of our 2019-2020 motto, Be the Light.  Those pillars include:  Love, Invest, Growth Goals and Grit, Hearts of Help and Trust and Teamwork.  This week, I would like to invite you to be a part of our motto by inviting you to be the light for our district.

There are lots of ways that you can help us be the light.  Here are just a few ways:

• Mentor a student,
• Eat lunch with a student,
• Read with a student,
• Adopt a teacher to support them this year,
• Open car doors,
• Be at the front doors welcoming students,
• Volunteer in our Champions Closet,
• Volunteer for a booster club,
• Volunteer with our Carthage ISD Education Foundation,
• Any other way you can think of.

We would love to have you shine your light on our school.  If you would like to be a part of our team, please contact Joni Lee at central office.
