Speech Pathology Week 8/25-31

The theme, ‘Impact Through Communication’, highlights the different ways speech pathology can support and strengthen communication across our community. Speech pathology, also known as speech-language pathology or speech therapy, is a healthcare and academic discipline that aims to treat and assist with communication disorders and disabilities. This can include:

Expressive and mixed receptive-expressive language disorders

Voice disorders
Speech sound disorders
Speech disfluency
Pragmatic language impariments
Social communication difficulties
Swallowing disorders

It’s practiced by professionals called speech pathologists. They work with people of all ages and all walks of life who have communication or swallowing difficulties. They also play a vital role in the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder.

Thank you Lackland ISD Speech Pathologists Cynthia Martinez and Dawn Bluhm!

Safe Storage of Firearms

The content below is shared as a required notification per HB 121 which requires the Texas School Safety Center, in collaboration with the Department of Public Safety, to provide information abut safe storage of firearms, including ways parents can effectively prevent children from accessing firearms. Districts are required to provide this information to parents of all enrolled students at least three times each school year.

A firearm should be stored unloaded in a safe or locked container, with ammunition stored elsewhere.

It is unlawful to store, transport, or abandon an unsecured firearm in a place where children are likely to be and can obtain access to the firearm. Under the Penal Code, a person commits the offense of making a firearm accessible to a child if the child gains access to a readily dischargeable firearm, and the person with criminal negligence:

· Failed to secure the firearm; or

· Left the firearm in a place to which the person knew or should have known the child would gain access

The penalty for allowing a child access to a firearm can range from a Class C misdemeanor (punishable by a $500 fine) to a Class A misdemeanor (punishable by a $4000 fine, a year in jail, or a combination of the two).

Parent Square Notifications

Under General Announcements, you can select how often you want to receive notifications for posts. Select Off, Instant or Digest notifications.

Off:no notifications about posts will be sent to you. Emergency Alerts and Notices will still be sent. School Alerts will still be sent if turned on.

Instant:you'll receive an email and/or text and/or an app notification every time a notice or message is sent.

Digest:you'll receive an email and/or text and/or an app notification once a day in the evening with all posts from that day.

3rd grade teacher Mrs. Mccray and Ms. Gonzalez used a balloon to demonstrate rounding for third graders.

Today we were scientists and investigated what fruits would float or sink in water.

Mrs. Mccray's class is rounding with dice!

Kindness Award

Isabel was awarded the Random Acts of Kindness Award for helping keep the cafeteria tidy without anyone asking her to do so. She helped because she knew it was the right thing to do.

Choosing involves analysis,

creating new questions requires synthesis,

and sharing with others involves evaluation.

This encourages higher-level thinking and

emphasizes the importance of collaboration

and reflection in learning.
