PASSIVE FUNDRAISING
LET’S TAKE ADVANTAGE OF FREE MONEY!!!
Please take the easy steps to set up these passive fundraising opportunities and earn money the lazy way all year long!
Greenworks Recycling
PLEASE DON’T THROW AWAY CLOTHES AND TEXTILES! Drop them off in the bin by the school playground during carpool!!
Sudie and Clothes Bin have partnered to collect and recycle old clothing, shoes and textiles.
Keep these items OUT of landfills AND raise money for Sudie – at 8 cents a pound it’s a WIN-WIN!
Start planning for your kids to lose stuff before they actually do. Order labels to put on their most prized items so they don't end up in the sea of lost and found!
When you order from Mabel's Labels, Sudie earns 20% from each order!
The Texas Department of State Health Services has updated its school exclusion criteria to align the requirement for COVID-19 with those for other respiratory viruses like flu.
Students now only need to be excluded from school until they have been fever free for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication.
Free Dress Fridays
Every Friday (& only on Fridays) Free Dress day passes are sold outside the cafeteria and/or front foyer only in the morning. The passes are $2 each - CASH ONLY.
Students are only allowed to wear free dress on the Friday when their pass is purchased. No ripped jeans are allowed & please ensure all free dress is appropriate. All proceeds go to student enrichment activities!
If you need to change your student's dismissal/after school transportation, please communicate your change to Ms. Diaz or Ms. Carballos by email, phone or Remind NO LATER than 3:30pm.
This is to ensure that all students receive dismissal directions within an early enough time frame. Please DO NOT text your student dismissal changes as students are NOT allowed to use their cell phones during instructional hours 8:35am-3:55pm.
