PRE purchase Thanksgiving Day Lunch tickets are being collected. We sent home forms, but have extras at the front office.

Complete the form and send the payment. The link to the form is attached if you would like to print one out yourself.

Tickets for the Nov. 20th lunch will be sold until 10/31. Tickets will be $7.

If you do not want to purchase a ticket, but would like to come and eat with your child that day, we would LOVE to have you. You are welcome to come and bring your own lunch.

Coach Spelman sent home forms to purchase a Turkey Trot shirt. The attached picture provides all of the information you need for the event. We are excited to see them run and trot on Wednesday, November 19th, from 5:30-6:30 pm.

Mrs. Copeland has been talking to students (especially in 5th grade) about how to THINK when sharing information or talking about or with others. When talking to your student, ask them to THINK about what they say.

Is it TRUE?

Is it HELPFUL?

Is it INSPIRING?

Is it NECESSARY?

Is it KIND?

By using the same language, we can all help our students be respectful of their words.

Starting November 6th-November 19th, ANY purchase from Fall Creek Estate - wine, wine club sign-ups, food from their restaurant, or stays in their Airbnb will give back 20% of its proceeds to Spicewood. Alcohol does not need to be purchased to participate.

When you check out, you will need to use the code "GIVE BACK MS" at the Flat Creek checkout.

This year, the district moved to report cards that are only on Skyward digitally. Let us know if you need any guidance on how to access your child's portfolio.

Spicewood is excited to announce that Mrs. Morgan Herreaz has been board approved to join our 1st grade team. We were excited to start these smaller classes last Thursday!

We will welcome our new library manager, Mrs. Kylie Gilde, starting next week.

We appreciate your ongoing support in helping your child succeed in school. One of the most important ways to set them up for success is by making sure they are at school every day and on time.

Every minute counts — when students arrive on time and attend regularly, they’re more connected to their learning, their classmates, and the routines that help their brains grow strong!

We understand that mornings can be busy and that illnesses do happen. If your child is feeling unwell, of course, we want them to rest and recover. But if they’re feeling well, being at school and arriving on time gives them the best chance to thrive socially, emotionally, and academically.

Let’s work together to build great habits that support every student’s learning and growth. 

We won the attendance battle! Great job!

Here are our attendance policies:

For unexcused absences:

You will receive an automated district email when your child has three unexcused absences. After five to seven unexcused absences, you'll get another notification and a call from the school to sign a Truancy Prevention Form. On the 10th unexcused absence, your child is considered truant.

This policy applies to all students enrolled in public school, ages 3 and older.

If you have any questions, contact Mrs. Carpenter or Mrs. Brantley. Let's work together to ensure your child is on time and ready to learn!

Students will be released at 3:15 pm.

RIDE CHANGES: If you have a ride change, notify Sarah Sims at ssims@mfisd.org.

PLEASE NOTIFY THE OFFICE EVERY TIME THERE IS A CHANGE. Following this procedure for ride changes is necessary to ensure that students go to the correct pick-up place for dismissal.

If you have any questions about ACE, contact Shelby Prout at sprout@mfisd.org.
