The extended weekend is a great time to decorate a pumpkin for our annual storybook pumpkin decorating contest! Decorate an artificial pumpkin (no real pumpkins) and bring it to our library pumpkin patch any day on or before Oct. 23. Prizes for K-2nd and 3rd-5th in 7 different categories! We are always amazed at the creativity of our Caldwell Cats! Print the entry form from the Caldwell Connect or have your student grab one from the library.
Happy Instructional Coach's Day! We couldn't let our day end without recognizing our outstanding Instructional Coaches! Ms. Lopez, Ms. Flores, and Ms. Jimenez, we appreciate all that you do to support Caldwell staff and students!
October is National Principals Month, and we are lucky to be led by the best! Ms. Massey works tirelessly for our students and staff! We appreciate you, Ms. Massey!
It's been a great week at Caldwell Dual Language Academy!
Your hardworking teachers participated in a training on the Essential 6 with Liliana Scuilla, Coordinator of English Learner Support Curriculum & Instruction for MISD, Wednesday after school. A "mad scientist" visited our kindergarteners on Thursday (look closely and you'll see that mad scientist was our very own Kate Tucker 🤫).
Second grade also took a field trip to McKinney Roots on Thursday.
We had a great Friday at our first Caldwell Live of the year with a wrap up of our Raise Craze Fundraiser.
Don't miss the park playdate tonight at Finch Park at 6pm.
With all this excitement happening around school your Caldwell Cat is going to be happy to have a day off this Monday, 9/28. Teachers will spend the day participating in Professional Development.
