Nita Pearson Elementary
Thank you for coming out last night to Meet the
Teacher! If you weren’t able to make it,
no worries. We just went over a few
things, but everything always comes home in notes or flyers, etc. so just make
sure to check your child’s binder and PIE folder for important notes to stay
updated throughout the year.
Don’t forget about Skyward.
You can find the Skyward link on the GISD website….garlandisd.net. You
can fill out important district forms and you can see your child’s grades at
any time.
No school on Monday,
5th since it’s Labor Day so enjoy your 3 day weekend!
Dress Code Reminders:
Monday-Thursday is school uniform and Fridays are FREE DRESS
FRIDAYS! Yay! Just make sure your
FREE DRESS FRIDAYS are still GISD dress code
approved. For example, shorts or skirt
must be fingertip length… NO flips flops, sandals or high heeled shoes are
allowed on any day… and straps on shirts must be wide straps (think lasagna
straps instead of spaghetti straps).
