Field
Day - Tuesday - May 22
Updated
5-14-07
Parents,
Thank you for all you've done this year as volunteers.
Our Rancher Relays Field Day will be on Tuesday, May 22nd.
If you can help out, please just look for your child's
teacher and sign up for one of the 30 minute times that we need
you to help. If everything is full with your child's class,
then please feel free to just come and fill in where there is a
need to help out. All of the stations will be labeled with numbers
and instructions for the games, but the kids have learned all the
games , so you might just need to remind them of what to do. There
will be four groups per class, and we will rotate through the
entire course of stations. The times for each grade level are as
follows:
-
Pre-k, Kinder and 1st - 9:00-10:30
-
4th and 5th - 10:45- 12:30
-
Pre-k, 2nd and 3rd- 1:00-2:30
Click the schedule links below to access
the schedules and to sign up.

Carnival - May 11
Updated
5-11-07
To all parents,
Carnival is TODAY, May 11.
We need volunteers to tend to
your child's classroom booth from 4:30 p.m. through 8:30 p.m..
Each class will have a different booth. We suggest 2 people per
half-hour; in case someone doesn't show up to help we still have
coverage. Some booths definitely need 2 people. If you would
like to volunteer it would be greatly appreciated! The first
half-hour will be set-up and the last is clean-up.

We need Hall Monitors for TAKS Testing! Hall
Monitors are very important for the school to meet the guidelines
for TAKS testing. The job involves monitoring the
halls for traffic (wandering parents or others who should not be
there) and also the bathrooms (no talking, etc.) The only
requirement for Hall Monitors aside from being approved as a
Volunteer by LISD is that you cannot have a child taking the TAKS
test in the same grade you are monitoring.
We really need your help!
You can cover anywhere from 1/2 hour to the full duration of the
testing period.
