Spicewood Principal Newsletter

Hello Spicewood Families,

We have had a great week at Spicewood and have definitely enjoyed the cooler weather! As the jackets, hoodies, and sweaters make their way back to school, please remember to label your child’s cold-weather gear. Our lost and found has a way of filling up very quickly this time of year. A name on the tag goes a long way in helping lost items find their way home. As a reminder, we have a three-day weekend coming up, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back on Tuesday. Enjoy the extra day with your families!

Don't forget Science Fair Viewing Tonight from 5-7pm and if that is not your thing, we also have a Skate Night!  See below for more information!

Have a great 3-day weekend!

Sincerely,

Melanie Solis

Principal

The Panther Patrol is a parent volunteer group that coordinates with Principal and Teachers to identify volunteer opportunites that engage the community in student mentorship and campus improvements.

Parents can sign up at any of our monthly days to spend the day at Spicewood helping teachers and administrators behind the scenes with anything ranging from landscaping, preparing activities for teachers, and much more!

The dates for the school year are listed on the form so plan ahead, take the day off and join us at Spicewood! Here is the link to sign up if interested: https://forms.gle/GQUx1F2cSPZqoGwL9
