Dear Parents/Guardians,
 
Monday, February 10th, Dr. Adolph Brown, an internationally-recognized speaker, will be presenting at Rowlett High School.  He will be having an open discussion about practical parenting skills. All district families are encouraged to attend one of his parent events. Doors open at 6 p.m. for a complimentary pizza dinner for the first 500 guests. Presentation begins at 7 p.m.

Please remember to return your conference note with your preferred time to meet with me about your child.  We can have a face to face conference or a phone conference during the time that is listed on the conference form.

             We wanted to let you know about a change in our spelling list.  We are incorporating words from other subjects.  The subjects include: Math, Social Studies, and Science.  This is a way to reinforce new vocabulary that we are learning during the week. 

Wednesday, February 12th is Pearson Night at CiCi’s Pizza at the Rowlett location.  Please join other Pearson families for fun and dinner.

            Friday, February 14th is Valentine’s Day.  We will be having our parties at 2:30PM.  A note went home last week requesting items for the party.  Please make sure to send the requested item by Thursday.
