Today's Learners, Tomorrow's Leaders
It's so hard to believe that October is almost over! There are so many good things happening at Village right now.
This Thursday, October 31st, we will start our day with our costume parade outside on the track. Parents, if you would like to watch the parade please walk around the outside of the school to the track to watch the parade. This will save you time, as you will not need to sign in through the office. Also, if your child decides to dress up please send a change of clothes with them. Staff will help them get changed after the parade. PreK and Kindergarten will be going on a walking field trip to the Delaney immediately following the parade.
We are currently collecting jackets through the Coats for Kids campaign. There is a large box in our front foyer where you can donate new or gently used jackets. We will be collecting coats through Friday, November 22nd.
We hope you will be able to join us on Monday, November 11th for our incredible Veterans Day Celebration. The ceremony will begin at 8:30am. Seating will be limited, so please plan to arrive early.
Save the date for Thursday, November 21st. We will have our Thanksgiving luncheon (details to follow), and that evening is our family Literacy Night from 5-6:30 immediately followed by the 3rd grade musical, Yee Haw. We hope you will be able to join us!

¡No puedo creer que ya vamos terminando el mes de octubre! Hay tantas cosas buenas ocurriendo en Village durante este tiempo.
Este jueves 31 de octubre nuestro día empezará con el desfile de disfraces en la pista afuera. Padres, si usted quiere ver el desfile por favor camine al rededor del edificio y júntese con nosotros afuera. Así no tendrá que apuntarse en la oficina. Adicionalmente, si su hijo(a) decide llevar un disfraz, por favor mande un cambio de ropa. Se cambiarán después del desfile. PreK y Kinder van a caminar al Delaney imediatamente después del desfile. Va a hacer mucho frío, así que por favor vístalos apropiadamente.
Estamos colectando chaquetas para el programa Coats for Kids. Hay una caja grande en la entrada de la escuela donde se pueden donar chaquetas nuevas o en buena condición. La colección de chaquetas se completará el Viernes 22 de noviembre.
Esperamos que usted pueda venir el lunes 11 de Noviembre para nuestro programa del Día de Veteranos. La ceremonia comenzará a las 8:30. Los asientos serán limitados, así que por favor lleguen temprano.

Hello Stingray families!
We had such a terrific turnout for the Egg Drop last week. A HUGE thank you to our Georgetown Fire Department and our incredible Mrs. Rogers for creating such a wonderful experience for our students!
Don't forget, Monday, September 23rd is a student holiday. Teachers will be busy learning together and designing awesome units of study for our Stingrays!
Next week we will be participating in the "Start with Hello" initiative. We hope your students will participate each day.
Please remember that our campus doors do not open until 7:30am and there is no supervision outside prior to that time. We have noticed more and more students being dropped off before 7:30 in front of the school, and this is a major safety concern for us. Please refrain from dropping your child(ren) off prior to 7:30. If you require before-school care the YMCA is available on-site for our families.
Hola familias Stingray!
La semana pasada tuvimos una participación excelente en Egg Drop. ¡Muchísimas gracias a nuestro Departamento de Bomberos de Georgetown y nuestra increíble Sra. Rogers por crear una experiencia tan maravillosa para nuestros estudiantes!
No olvides que el lunes 23 de septiembre es feriado estudiantil. ¡Los maestros estarán ocupados aprendiendo juntos y diseñando increíbles unidades de estudio para nuestras rayas!
La próxima semana participaremos en la iniciativa "Comenzar con Hola". Esperamos que sus estudiantes participen cada día.
Recuerde que las puertas de nuestro campus no se abren hasta las 7:30 am y no hay supervisión afuera antes de esa hora. Hemos notado que más y más estudiantes son dejados antes de las 7:30 frente a la escuela, y esto es una preocupación importante de seguridad para nosotros. Abstenerse de dejar a sus hijos antes de las 7:30. Si necesita atención antes de la escuela, el YMCA está disponible en el sitio para nuestras familias.
Our annual fundraiser will kick-off on Monday. Look for details coming home with your child and if you have questions please give us a call!
I am once again looking for volunteers to sit on our site-based committee. I am looking for parents, community members, and/or buisiness owners to help us set and monitor campus goals. If you are interested in serving please email me at sloanl@georgetownisd.org. We will meet four times this school year, with the first meeting happening prior to 9/20 (exact details will be shared once the committee is formed).
We are continuing to help our kindergarten students learn their colors! See details below for each day of the week. We encourage students to dress in the "color of the day!"
Looking forward to seeing you soon!
