PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Our students have been doing a great job this fall! We’re so proud of the positive energy and focus they’ve shown on campus each day. Attendance has also been off to a strong start, and we appreciate your continued support in making sure students are here and ready to learn. It truly makes a difference.
Progress reports will soon be available through the Home Access Center (HAC). Please take a moment to check in on your student’s progress and reach out to their teachers if you have any questions. Working together helps ensure that every student gets the support they need to be successful.
A couple of reminders:
- Daylight Savings Time ends this Sunday. Don’t forget to roll your clocks back an hour and enjoy the extra sleep!
- Tuesday, November 4 is a student holiday, so there will be no school that day.
Finally, we hope everyone enjoys a safe and fun Halloween weekend! Please remember that candy should not be brought to school on Monday.
We look forward to seeing everyone back, ready for another great week at Rayburn.

GT 6th Grade Zoo Field Trip
6th grade GT had a great time at the San Antonio Zoo last Thursday. This experience is going to come in handy as they design a new and improved zoo in Minecraft Education. I also wanted to thank Ms. Ramirez for chaperoning. We had a great time!

Attendance Matters
Thank you for your ongoing support in your child's education. I want to emphasize the importance of our partnership in ensuring consistent attendance, as it plays a crucial role in your child's success.
If your child is absent, please be sure to send a note when they return to school. This helps us keep accurate records and ensures that they stay on track with their learning.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Together, we can make a positive impact on your child's educational journey.
