Roadrunner Families,
Invitation letters for students recommended for summer school were sent home last week. Students identified for summer school were selected based on multiple data points indicating a need for accelerated instruction.
If your child received a letter, please complete the backside by acknowledging attendance, requesting transportation if needed, and providing all pertinent information required for summer school registration.
Additional information regarding summer school programs can be found on the CCISD website:
https://www.ccisd.us/page/summer-programs-ccisd
If you have any questions please contact our front office at 361-878-2760. Thank you for your partnership in supporting your child’s academic success!

Happy Thursday! We’ve had several parents and guardians share that they’d love to treat our Teachers but aren’t sure what to get. Please take a moment to review our Teachers’ “Favorite Things” list! Each Teacher’s name is listed on a tab at the bottom of the spreadsheet for reference. Thank you so much for thinking of our Teachers and for treating them! They truly deserve it and so much more! 💛🖤❤️ #RoadrunnerPride #WeAreSmith #BeepBeep #CCISDproud #suCCessISD https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JD_j4f6vhMUfmVCswjA801FauaCWGir9PORBXk1AkyY/edit?usp=sharing

🥧✨ Our 3rd grade teachers went above the line in motivating students to give their best as they prepared for STAAR! 💪📚 Students who scored 70–100 on their reviews earned tickets to pie a teacher in the face and they worked hard to earn every one of them! 🎟️👏 Way to make learning fun, engaging, and rewarding. We are so proud of our Roadrunners and their effort! 💛🖤❤️ #RoadrunnerPride #WeAreSmith #BeepBeep #CCISDProud #AboveTheLine
