Ryan Rogers and his team participated in the highly competitive invitation-only Dallas Cup soccer tournament this past week, which since its inception in 1980 has hosted teams from 47 U.S. states and over 100 countries, across 6 continents. The tournament traditionally consists of 40% international teams, 40% stateside teams and 20% Dallas area. While Ryan's team did not end up on top this year, the experience and exposure to international soccer was well worth it. Ryan's team is excited about the prospect of continuing to work hard in order to receive an invitation and compete in this prestigious tournament again next year.
Would you like your child featured in the SCIS student spotlight?
Just send Mr. Winkler an email with details and pictures! [email protected]

Volunteers needed at SCIS
Parents are needed to help administer small group tests at SCIS. A training to answer all your questions will be held from 7:45 to 8:15 on Monday, March 26th. Each week we send out a Google Form with dates and times for parents to sign up to help test. You can help as little or as much as your schedule allows. Some tests are during single block classes for about 45 minutes and other test are during double block classes for about 90 min. Typically you will have a group of 2 to 4 kids that you will read the test to. We appreciate your help and support!
5th Grade - Growth and Development Video
Dear 5th grade Parents/Guardians:
As part of the health curriculum, the Always Changing film on Human Growth and Development will be shown to the 5th grade on April 27, 2018 at 2:00 pm during 9th period.

Attention 6th grade parents:
There are two vaccinations required by the State of Texas for entry into the 7th grade. They are a Tdap (tetanus, diptheria and pertussis) booster and the Meningococcal vaccine.

If your student receives these two vaccines, please send a copy of the vaccination record to school with your student or fax it to

Attendance Information
I often say that Sloan Creek is the bridge between the dependence of elementary school and the independence of the secondary school model. One area that we want to continue to shine a bright light on for parent understanding is the structure around secondary attendance procedures.
Starting at Sloan Creek and continuing through your child's years at Willow Springs and Lovejoy High School, attendance is recorded during each period of the day. There is often some misunderstanding regarding the difference between attendance accounting for State funding and attendance accounting for State truancy. For funding purposes, we report to the State how many students are in attendance at 10:00 a.m. each day. For your child's truancy accounting, we count attendance in days or parts of days. If your child comes in late or is checked out early and does not have a written excuse from a doctor/dentist/orthodontist, this will accrue toward the truancy reporting.
You will receive a letter requesting an attendance conference from our campus for the following two attendance situations:
- When students are absent more than three days or parts of days within any four-week period.
- When students accrue 10 or more *absences in any six-month period.
As a reminder, unexcused absences (coded with an "A" in Powerschool) means that the school does know the reason for the absence.
*We allow for students to have five parent notes/calls per semester without concern. We code these first five as "PN" (Parent Note) or "PC" (Parent Call). After the fifth PN/PC absence, parent notes and parent phone calls are coded "P5". When a student has ten P5 absences, you will get a letter from the school requesting an attendance conference.
Doctor's notes are excused absences and are coded "D" in power school and are excused absences. If you check your child out for a doctors appointment and bring them back the same day with a doctors note, we code this a "M" and is not considered an absence and does not count against perfect attendance. All other absences (PN/PC/P5/D) all count against a students perfect attendance record.
When your child is absent, we request that you e-mail or call Mrs. Lori Esser, our campus attendance clerk so that we have the most accurate coding of your child's absence. I have tasked her along with our campus teaching staff to account for each child's whereabouts for each period of the day. If you have a note from a doctor/dentist/orthodontist, you are welcome to e-mail the note or send it to school with your child upon their return.
We know that attendance can be a confusing subject. If you have any questions regarding how attendance is tracked, please feel free to contact our Ms. Esser, or Mrs. Underwood, or myself.
As always, you may monitor your student's attendance via the PowerSchool Parent Portal.
Ray Winkler.

Dear Parent:
Sloan Creek Intermediate School is sharing this information about the district and your child's campus with you as part of its obligations under the federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB).

Lice Awareness
We want to alert you that there has been one or more cases of head lice at SICS over the last few months. If there is a concern with your child, our school nurse will contact you directly. If you need additional information and resources, you may visit the CDC's website at the following link:
https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/lice/head/index.html
Moreover, you may review the District's procedures for head lice on page 42 of the 2017-2018 Student Handbook, which states, in relevant part:
"If careful observation indicates a student has head lice, the school nurse will contact the student's parent to determine whether the child will need to be picked up from school, and to discuss a plan for treatment with FDA-approved medicated shampoo or cream rinse which may be purchased from any drug or grocery store. After the student has undergone one treatment, the parent should check in with the school nurse to discuss the treatment used. The nurse can also offer additional recommendations, including subsequent treatments and how to best get rid of lice and prevent their return."
Below is the link to the Handbook for your reference:
Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions or concerns.
Tamara Pierce,
School Nurse

Google Classroom Email Summaries for Parents/ Guardians
Lovejoy has been sending invitations for Google Classroom email summaries for parents/guardians over the last week; however, Google is having some technical issues with the invitations to all parent/guardian email addresses. We continue to work with Google to resolve this problem. Please continue to watch for your invitation for Google Classroom email summaries.
As a parent/ guardian, you may receive email summaries showing your student's progress in Google Classroom. You may choose daily or weekly emails, and unsubscribe or remove yourself from Google Classroom anytime. Guardian summaries include missing work, upcoming work, and class activity. As a parent/ guardian, you must receive and accept an email invitation before you receive email summaries. Following is a sample of the email invitation you may receive:
