Dear RSPA Humble Families,

The holiday season is always an excellent time to come together as “CREW”. Within our homes and communities, we bond together to show kindness and generosity to those around us.

As we move into Winter Break, RSPA's Humble Campus is diligently working on closing out our semester strong. In the classroom, our content teachers have been incredible as we continue to see tremendous academic growth in our scholars. As always, none of this would be possible without your support. Thank you for your dedication to sending your child to school each day.

As we are finding out, anything is possible when you have the right people to support you. The outreach from our families and our community has helped us to be successful this year. I hope you all have time to relax and cherish your families this holiday season.

Monet Calhoun, M.A.

Humble Campus Principal 

Dear Parents,

My name is Jacqueline Burnett, Intern Counselor while Mrs. Lopez is away for a few weeks. I have been a school counselor for over 23 years and will continue to offer the same quality service to our kids.

As we approach the holiday season, let me remind you of the helpful tools the counselor has shared with you in previous newsletters since the school year began. I realize for some this can be the most joyous time and for others, it may not be. I am including some tips on surviving the holidays. If you can share them with your kids, this will help everyone have an enjoyable holiday season.

I look forward to meeting you on Zoom with Coffee with the Counselor later this month.

Jacqueline Burnett

Interim Campus Counselor

Social-Emotional Development Skills for the Month:

Way to Promote Social-Emotional Development

1) Love your child and show your affection for them. Hug, cuddle, read, and talk with them throughout the day.

2) Encourage your child to try new things. 

3) Give your child opportunities to play with other children their age.

4) Show your feelings. Let your child see when you are happy or sad. This helps them to develop empathy for others.

5)  Establish daily routines. Your child will feel confident and secure.

6) Acknowledge your child’s feelings. Help them talk about what they feel and how they are feeling. Comfort your child when they are upset. Hold them and speak softly and calmly.

Congratulations to our

2. Prepare for the test by studying your notes from class.
3. Take your time and read your test carefully.
4. Always give a 100% on the test.

Parent Pick-Up & Drop-Off Times:

Morning drop-off time begins at 7:15a, and early pick-up ends at 2:40p daily. If your child is tardy during morning arrival, you must park, come into the front office, and sign your child in. After 2:40p, parents are not permitted to enter the building, and students must leave during the regular dismissal time. If you need early drop-off or late pick-up, Crayon Club (6:00a-6:00p) is available for a fee. Thank you for your strict adherence to this policy.

Dismissal Safety:

1. Please remain in your car at all times.

2. If you have multiple scholars, please pick up your scholars at the pick-up spot for the oldest sibling or the person they are riding home with.

3. Children will not be permitted to cross the street to enter your car during dismissal. Please help us keep your children safe by working with us regarding this.

Transportation Change:

Any mode of transportation changes must be communicated to the front office by 2:00 pm. Please do not communicate any changes to your child's teachers.

Attendance:

Please make sure that your child attends school daily. It is imperative to their academic success and growth in school. Just as a reminder: students who miss 10 or more school days may receive an attendance behavior contract and could be subject to compulsory attendance laws. Also, 3 tardies are equivalent to one absence.

Spirit Shirts & Planners:

You may purchase spirit shirts for $10 and required student planners for $5 at the front office anytime EXCEPT: 7:30a - 8:00a and 2:40p and 3:45p.
