SCIS Parents,
W
e have had a fun week of learning at SCIS. Our 5th graders are taking STAAR math and reading next week and we are proud of how hard they are working to show what they know. I hope you will watch the video above for details about the following:
Principal's Coffee- Guest Speaker Shawn McKnight! (See Video)
Join us Friday April 5th at 9:00 a.m. for our monthly principal's coffee on the topic:
"A tool kit for parents: Tips and tools for setting family expectations and guidelines around technology". (Any parent may attended k-12, we will have shuttle busses available)
We are excited to have guest speaker Shawn McKnight who with his wife, Mindy, launched her first book, Viral Parenting In April 2019, which is sold in all major book retailers nationwide and debuted at #1 on Amazon in both Parenting Teenagers and Privacy & Online Safety.
Shaun is Lovejoy dad of six kids. Together with his wife Mindy the couple launched the highly-successful
CuteGirlsHairstyles.com website in late 2008 and the subsequent CuteGirlsHairstyles YouTube channel the following year. Their three oldest daughters, Brooklyn And Bailey and KamriNoel, also have a very successful online presence. Altogether, the McKnight's YouTube channels count 15 million subscribers with content that has been viewed over 2.3 billion times worldwide. The family has also worked closely with brands such as Disney, Google, Amazon, Unilever, P&G, Johnson & Johnson, Walmart, Sprint, Covergirl, Lionsgate, Converse, and many more.

5th Grade - Growth and Development Video
Dear 5th grade Parents/Guardians:
As part of the health curriculum, the Always Changing film on Human Growth and Development will be shown to the 5th grade on April 26, 2019 at 2:00 pm during 9th period.
Boys and girls will be separated for the Growth and Development class. Mr. Smith, Puster Elementary counselor, will talk with the boys and Tamara Pierce, the nurse at Sloan Creek, will assist with the girls. We will be available to answer questions and concerns from the students after the presentation of the film. We will only answer questions that have to do with the information from the film.
As the parent/guardian, you have the most important role in teaching your child about their growth and development. We encourage you to preview the videos that will be shown and learn more about how to talk to your child.
https://www.pgschoolprograms.com/Parents Scroll down to the view the Always Changing-Boys or Always Changing-Girls (not the original version). Please take this opportunity to talk openly with your child.
Please fill out the online Google Form -

ATTENTION 6TH GRADE PARENTS:
There are two vaccinations required by the State of Texas for 7th grade: Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis) and the meningococcal vaccine. Typically students will receive these vaccines at their 11 or 12 year old check up. If your student receives this vaccine, please email or fax a copy of their vaccination record to me. Please don't wait until the week before school starts to get these vaccines. Typically there will be a shortage of the vaccines, before school starts, because it is required of all 7th grade students in Texas.
If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.
Thank you for your help! My email is:
[email protected] and the fax # is 469-742-8401.

School Report Cards from 2017-18
I wanted to make you aware that the 2017-18 School Report Card (SRC) from the Texas Education Agency (TEA) is available on the district website under "Quick Links" and then under "Required Postings" or directly at:
The same reports can be accessed on our campus website under the "About" tab and then selecting TEA School Campus Report Cards.
The SRC provides information on the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR), as well as information student enrollment, class size averages, and financial expenditures.
As you may recall, districts do not receive a SRC but the STAAR performance at each campus contributed to Lovejoy ISD being one of only four districts of the 1227 districts and charter schools in Texas to receive the highest rating on the state accountability system with an overall grade of "A" with a scale score of 97 out of 100 possible points.
Please contact me if you have any questions concerning our School Report Card from the Texas Education Agency. Thank you for your continued support of Sloan Creek Intermediate School.
