Week of November 18

Celebrate Excellence

CISD Teachers spent Monday, November 11 creating
powerful interventions and strong instruction for all
kids based on the 2nd 6 weeks Formative Assessments.
We are thankful for our teachers and leaders for their hard
work.

I would like to start out with a big celebration at Carthage ISD.  The 2nd 6 weeks had the fewest disciplinary referrals in the last 4 years.  This is a testament to the great kids we have, the strong leadership of our teachers and administrators, and the excellent parenting students are provided at home.  Thank you.

The 2nd 6 Weeks Assessments were completed last week, and report cards will also come out this week.  When you visit with your children about their report cards, ask them about their growth on the 2nd 6 weeks assessment compared to their STAAR test last year, as well as to their 1st 6 weeks assessment.  Primary and Libby students should be able to tell you about how much growth they have made in reading and math.

Based on the information you discuss, help your child set a goal for the 3rd 6 weeks.  You can ask them what their growth goals or +10 goals are for the 3rd 6 weeks.

Ladydogs Punch their Ticket to Regionals

Congratulations to the Ladydog Volleyball team who punched their ticket
to the Regional Tournament.  They play on Friday and Saturday!

Bus Safety

Our buses are delivering excellence to and from Carthage ISD every day.  Everyday, students are getting on and off the bus, and we have noticed that every week cars are not stopping for the bus.  We are making reports to law enforcement. Please help us watch for cars who do not stop and report them to either transportation, the sheriff's office or the police department.
