Dear Fuller Elementary Families,

I hope this newsletter finds you well as we approach the festive season and reflect on the many reasons we have to be thankful. Here are some important updates and events happening at Fuller Elementary:

**World Kindness Day - Monday, November 13th

This Monday, November 13th, we'll be celebrating World Kindness Day! Let's spread positivity and warmth by wearing yellow to school. It's a small gesture that can make a big impact, reminding us all of the power of kindness.

**Thanksgiving Break - November 20th to November 24th

As a reminder, next week is Thanksgiving Break. Fuller Elementary will be closed from November 20th to November 24th for both students and staff. We wish everyone a wonderful and restful holiday spent with loved ones.

**Pancake Breakfast and Photos with Santa - December 9th

Mark your calendars for December 9th! Fuller Elementary is excited to host our second annual Pancake Breakfast and Photos with Santa Benefit. Join us for a delicious breakfast and the chance to capture precious moments with Santa himself. The entrance fee is $5 at the door, and all proceeds will go towards supporting a Fuller Family in need during this holiday season.

**Yearbook Cover Submissions - Last Week

Don't miss the opportunity to showcase your creativity! This week is the final week for yearbook cover submissions. Check out the flyer below for submission details, and let's make our yearbook truly special together.

**Toys for Tots Toy Drive - Spread Joy this Season

As we approach the holiday season, Fuller Elementary is proud to support the Toys for Tots toy drive. You can make a difference by dropping off new, unwrapped toys in the designated box located in the silo. Let's come together to bring smiles to children in need and make this season brighter for everyone.

Thank you for your ongoing support and participation in making Fuller Elementary a vibrant and caring community. Wishing you all a joyful and gratitude-filled month!

Remember, We are Fuller, We are Family!

Here at Fuller, our campus wide attendance goal is 96%.

During the first nine weeks of school, five grade levels met or exceeded the campus' attendance goal.

Here at Fuller, we will continue to recognize attendance, engage students and families, monitor attendance data, provide early outreach and respond to barriers of attendance.

Families, please remember a habit of attendance is a school readiness skill. If your child is going to be absent, please notify your child's classroom teacher and our campus registrar sharrison@aubreyisd.net.

Here is the link for the student mentorship opportunity. We look forward to you serving our students!

Please use the crosswalks instead of crossing between cars at morning arrival on the PK side of the building between the parking lot and the building. Our campus SRO will be monitoring. Thank you.

If your student is due or has had recent immunizations please e-mail them to Nurse Perlick at tperlick@aubreyisd.net so that she can keep your students records updated. If your student is behind on immunizations they will not be able to attend class and you will have to come pick up your student. These will also not be excused absences. Thank you for your help.

According to Texas law crosswalks are for pedestrians and not cyclist. Therefore, students MUST walk their bicycles across all crosswalks.

We also ask that bike riders walk their bikes when on campus for safety of all.

Thank you for your attention to this.

There is an issue on Quicksilver at the 3rd-5th grade car line exit. Vehicles are parking too close to the intersection which puts our Students and Crossing Guards in an unsafe environment.

When the cars park in the red marked areas, vehicles exiting the car line cannot exit safely without coming out in the street. So to prevent any accidents, I will be placing 6 cones in the area. I have suggested to parents who parked there, to pull up to the school zone sign and park there.

I have included a map of the location with "NO PARKING IN RED AREAS" on the map.

• Anyone entering the building MUST be prepared to show ID BEFORE entering
• IDs or car tags will be checked at dismissal for car and walk ups.
• Please label all jackets, lunch boxes, and water bottles.
• Transportation changes must be sent to FESTransportation@aubreyisd.net by 2PM daily.
• No visitors for lunch until after Labor Day.
• Instruction begins at 7:40 (students MUST be in seats by then)
• School day ends at 3:15

If you have any questions, email Mr. Smith at n.smith@aubreyisd.net

Parents may pay for school lunches online by accessing the myschoolbucks.com tab located on the Aubrey ISD website. Applications for meal benefits may be returned to the campus office.

If you would like information about Online Payment Services, Free/Reduced Applications, Meal Account Restrictions, Meal Account History, etc., please check out the My School Bucks site for more information.

Good attendance is important for many reasons. Your child receives the maximum benefit of education by being in school every day, and numerous studies show a strong link between academic performance and consistent attendance.

A compulsory attendance notification will be sent to the parent if a student has unexcused absences on 10 or more days or parts of days within a six-month period or three days or parts of days during a four-week period. Notice it says “parts of days.” This means that leaving school early, or arriving excessively late in the day, even if the child attended for some of the day, may count as an absence.

In the state of Texas, Pre-K is not required, however, once you enroll your student in school, all attendance laws apply.
