SCIS Parents,
Just a reminder about 5th grade Walk the creek Tonight @ 5:30
Walk the Creek is the intermediate version of meet the teacher. It provides students and parents an opportunity to find out the location of their classes and meet each of their teachers. There will also be an opportunity to put money in your child's lunch account. Since our parking is limited, there will be a shuttle bus that runs between SCIS and Creekwood UMC.
Check out your child's schedule- *1st period class is also called homeroom.
- If your child has Math or Science 1st period (Homeroom):
- If your child has Elar and Social Studies 1st period (Homeroom)
- Report to 1st PERIOD at 5:30 Tonight
New to Lovejoy ISD students and parents will be meeting at 4:30-5:30
At 6:15 we will switch!
Text Mr. Winkler at 214.417.4660 if you have questions!
Shuttles run from Creekwood UMC at 5:15.
