Roadrunner Families,

Where did September go?! We have very nearly wrapped up another wonderful month of learning, growth, and community connection.

REMINDER: Toys, squishies, stuffies, and the like should not be brought to school unless your student's teacher has communicated a reward day. Our teachers appreciate your assistance with helping students stay focus and ready to learn in class!

Thank you for your continued partnership as we head into October. Before you kick back for the weekend, consider a quick trip to a local library to help your student pick out their next great read. Happy reading, and have a fantastic weekend!

With gratitude,

Mrs. Walker

VRES Principal

Students are expected to attend school on activity days (i.e. BOA, field trips, etc.). Students who are not present on campus or for the activity will accrue absences. 

Remember: Students are welcomed into class at 7:25 AM and the tone of the day is set as they settle in and prepare for instruction. Thank you for your support of our campus through you're student being present and on-time daily. Every minute counts!

Parents - we have seen an early rise in illness across Boerne ISD. We need your help in attempting to prevent the unnecessary spread to other students/families. As a reminder, students will need to be excluded from school when they meet the following criteria in accordance with guidelines from the Texas Department of State Health Services:

In addition, please use your best judgement when it comes to your student. We understand that not all students develop a fever with certain illnesses. If your child is showing signs/symptoms of illness, is not feeling well and/or requires treatment with medication prior to coming to school, we ask you to consider if it will interfere with their instruction time or classroom environment. While instruction time is extremely important, it is also important that your student feel well enough to attend and successfully participate.

Per district policy, If the student is sick at home, the district allows for 5 excused absences for illness by parent note per semester. Anything over 5 "sick" absences from a parent will be unexcused. Excuse notes from a physician will always be considered excused as documented by the physician's return to school date. 

If a student becomes sick while at school, they need to report to the school nurse. The nurse will determine if the student needs to be excused due to illness. The parent/guardian will be contacted, asked to come and sign out for the student. If the student is sent home by the nurse, the absence is considered excused for the remainder of the day. Subsequent absences will be considered upon the student's return with a parent or doctor's note.

Should the nurse choose to NOT send the student home due to illness, and the parent chooses to sign their student out, the absence is unexcused until a parent's note is received.
