Warrior Weekly August 17-August 21, 2020 Dear Twin Creeks Families, I am excited about all the wonderful things that will take place this year as we kick off the rst day of virtual school for the 2020-2021 school year. We have been diligently preparing for our scholars and working to be the very best. Remember we will establish routines and procedures to help us set a positive tone with a high expectation mindset. I know you may have mixed feelings and that is to be expected but remember United We Rise, United We Soar! We are all part of growth and contributing to positive change. Our scholars and TCMS Community are ROCK-STARS! We will continue the Twin Creeks legacy and traditions of excellence as we make fond memories on our journey together. "Together We Can, Whatever It Takes, No Excuses" Respectfully, Kenisha Williams Principal

Spring ISD Child Nutrition Announces Curbside Meals Available
Starting Monday Aug. 17
With the rst day of remote learning on Aug. 17, the Spring ISD Child Nutrition Department will again
offer curbside meals to ensure all students have the nutrition they need. To simplify pickup and save
parents time, the district will offer bundles twice a week containing meals for several days.
For at least the rst four weeks of school or through Sept. 11, meals will be available for curbside
pickup at all Spring ISD elementary schools except Clark Intermediate. Here are some important
details: · Parents/Guardians may pick up meals at any elementary location, regardless of their child’s grade. · Students are not required to be in the vehicle. · Student ID number or ID badge MUST BE presented in order to pick up meals. · Meals are for Spring ISD students only. · Breakfast is free for all students across the district. · Lunch is free for all students enrolled in Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) schools. · For students attending non-CEP schools (see list below), lunch cost is based on child’s free, reduced, or paid status. · Select only ONE serving time per designated day to pick up meals. Curbside Meal Serving Times: The rst week of school: · Monday, Aug. 17: Pick up meals for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday · Thursday, Aug. 20: Pick up meals for Thursday, Friday, and Monday Starting the second week of school: · Tuesday: Pick up meals for Tuesday and Wednesday · Thursday: Pick up meals for Thursday, Friday and Monday Serving Times: · Select one of the following serving times: o 11 a.m. - 1 p.m., or o 4 p.m. - 6 p.m. Non-Community Eligibility Schools: The majority of schools in Spring ISD are CEP campuses and provide free breakfast and lunch.

To continue receiving meal bene ts after that date, you must re-apply. All households may apply for meal bene ts at www.schoolcafe.com. Student Code of Conduct Updated to Reflect Changes Related to Pandemic The district’s 2020-21 Student Code of Conduct has been updated to re ect revisions and additions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Speci cally, the handbook now includes guidance around how students are expected to behave to promote safety when health conditions permit in-person learning on the campuses, including maintaining social distancing procedures, handwashing, wearing masks and keeping mouth and nose covered while sneezing and/or coughing. Students could face disciplinary action for purposefully trying to cough or sneeze on another person, refusing to adhere to social distancing standards, and removing personal protective equipment like a mask with the goal of trying to harm or threaten another person with bodily uids.
Students who show up to school without a mask or refuse to wear one during the school day may also
face a dress code violation. The expectation is that all students come to school wearing a face
covering, just as they would adhere to dress code. The goal is to keep everyone in our school safe,
including students and staff.
To view the entire Code of Conduct, please click here. Parents without ability to download the Code of
Conduct may request one in print by emailing Thomas Graham, the director of Student Affairs at
tgraham@springisd.org.
More Parent Sessions added on Schoology and the Home Access
Center
We’ve added more virtual parents sessions on Schoology and the Home Access Center (HAC) - two
important tools that will help ensure student success.
Participants will learn more about Schoology, the district’s learning management system. All students
will be using Schoology this year to access their classes and their assignments. Come learn how to
navigate the site and experience how your students will be using this important tool.
In addition, we’ll show parents how to log into the mySpringISD portal to access HAC, where they will
be able to track their child’s grades, attendance and report cards.
We know how important parent support is to ensuring student achievement, so please join us so you’ll
be familiar with these important digital tools.
The sessions will be held on:
Monday, Aug. 17 at 6 p.m. (English)
https://zoom.us/s/93525312594
Tuesday, Aug. 18 at 6 p.m. (Spanish)
https://zoom.us/s/94710419475
Remote Learning Schedule is NOT reflected in HAC
Parents, your students’ schedules are now available in the Home Access Center. With remote learning
starting on Monday, August 17, 2020 please be aware that the HAC schedules are for “on campus
learning” and will not fully align with the remote learning day. Please look for communication from
your child’s teacher with your child’s remote learning schedule.
If you do not receive communication from your child’s teacher when your student should log on for
their rst class, please check out the remote learning schedule on our school’s website.
When public health conditions allow for in-person learning, we will be following your child’s schedule on
HAC and our bell schedule for on-campus instruction for those families who have chosen that option.
Until then, please have your students “school and camera ready” at the time listed in our remote
learning schedule that is attached in this newsletter. We will be using this start time at least for the
