DEAR WARRIOR PARENTS/GUARDIANS,
Happy Mother's Day! I hope that everyone is enjoying their Mother's Day Weekend!

As we reflect on our areas of reinforcement and refinement, parents please don't forget to give
feedback as this is most importantly for our students. Sometimes the students are the last
stakeholder group we ask when improving programs and services. Interesting that those that
we serve everyday are sometimes the last to be asked for feedback. Please provide honest
feedback from your self or allow your scholars to provide feedback. Remember feedback is a
gift. It's what we do with feedback that matters.

Remember to make sure your scholars are Reading! As always, be safe and appreciate your
time with family and one another.

"United We Rise, United We Soar"

"Together We Can, Whatever It Takes, No Excuses"

Sincerely,

Principal Williams

QUOTE

Just because you failed doesn't mean you're a failure. A loss doesn't make you a loser and
while you may have quit, you're not a quitter. One moment doesn't define you or your life. Keep
learning, get better, and grow stronger through adversity and become all you're meant to be!
Jon Gordon

JOIN US FOR OUR 2021 SUMMER SCHOOL PROGRAM
Registration for Summer School is now open and we hope to see all students needing extra
help in class this summer. We also are offering a self-paced enrichment program for those
students who want to accelerate their learning.
For students who need grade recovery, we are offering an in-person experience at select
school sites that will focus heavily on literacy and math. For students who want to enrich, we
are offering an online experience accessible through the Spring ISD website and Schoology.
If your student is participating in person, the main summer school session will run from
Monday, June 14 through Friday, July 2. Students in pre-K and Kindergarten will run through
Thursday, July 8. The 21st Century after-school program and Special Education Extended
School Year (ESY) program will be provided until July 22.
The online self-paced enrichment program will be available all summer long with a set of
courses being offered in June and a second set in July.
Visit www.springisd.org/summerschool for more information and to register.

THE WINDOW TO SUBMIT A TRANSFER APPLICATION
IS NOW OPEN!
If your student is seeking to attend a school in 2021-22 for which they are not zoned, the
window to submit a transfer application will open on Monday, May 10 at

www.springisd.org/transfers.

Just a reminder, students attending the district’s schools of choice (Roberson Middle School,
Spring Leadership Academy, Carl Wunsche Sr. High School, P-TECH at Dekaney High School,
and Spring Early College Academy) are NOT considered transfer students since these schools
do not have attendance boundaries. Students accepted into these programs receive
transportation.

The district offers different transfer types depending on the situation. Regardless of transfer
type, transportation will NOT be provided to students. More information on each of the
transfer types is available at www.springisd.org/transfers.

Should you have any questions about the online transfer application, please reach out to your
student’s current principal.

Applications for transfers will be accepted through Friday, June 4 and will be processed as
submitted. Parents should receive a notification if the transfer request is approved, denied or
waitlisted within 10 school days from when submitted. Notification will be sent via email or
phone call.

Please make sure we have an updated email address and phone number for you in the Home
Access Center.

TAKE PART IN OUR READING COLORS YOUR WORLD
COMPETITION AND WIN PRIZES!
Get ready for the next district reading competition, set to launch on May10 for students in
grades K-8. The event will mark the third such contest this year and will feature prizes,
including gift cards and water bottles.

All students need to do is log onto the mySpringISD portal from May 10 - May 28 and access
the myON Reader platform, where they’ll be able to access thousands of books. Prizes will be
awarded to the top three elementary students with the most minutes of reading time. For
students in middle school, prizes will be awarded to those top three with most books read.

Also, myOn Reading Choice Boards will be available through your child’s teacher. You can ask
for a print copy or to access it digitally. Challenge yourself by at least completing two non-
fiction, two poetry, and two fiction boxes!

The goal is to see all elementary and middle school students logging into myON and exploring
new books!
