					<description><![CDATA[Let’s start the year strong, safe, and in style!

✅ Dress Code: Students should attend in school uniform. If you have the blue "Dream Big Act Bold" shirt, you may wear it with school pants. No jeans permitted.
🚗 Drop-off: Begins at 7:15 AM.
🤝 Courtesy: Be respectful to other parents, students, and staff. Follow all directions from identified staff and security.
🕊 Patience: Remain calm and patient—everyone’s working together for a smooth start.
➡️ Driveline: Follow all driveline instructions for safety.

					<description><![CDATA[As you prepare for the first day of school, remember that traffic will be heavier across the city, and there will be both pedestrians and vehicles moving throughout our parking lot. Preparation is key to a successful first day—and it also helps us keep our campus safe and neighbor-friendly.

Here are a few important reminders:
✅ Be courteous and respectful to others in the parking lot.
✅ Do not block neighborhood driveways—our residents need to get to and from work.
✅ Driveline numbers will be handed out by staff during morning drop-off.
✅ Student drop-off begins at 7:15 AM.
✅ Follow all one-way signs for entering and exiting the parking lot. (See the included parking lot diagram.)

This information along with other important first day of school information is located on our website at www.lighthousesa.org,

Parents should have received an email with your child/children's unique access codes. If you did not receive an email, it is because we didn't have one on file and the code was sent to your child's lighthouse email account.

Follow the steps below to access the test results:
1.  Go to Texas Assessment Website
2.  If not already on it, click on the student/families tab at the top of the page.
3.  Scroll down until you see the "View Your Child's Test Results" and Family Portal Box on the right hand side.
4.  Enter your unique access code and your child's other identifying information.

Your results should appear!

If you have any questions about how to read or interpret your results, please don't hesitate to contact James Mounts at 210-236-7693 or by email at james.mounts@lighthousesa.org.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Why Reading Every Day Matters
In our fast-paced world, it's easy to overlook the simple yet powerful habit of daily reading. Whether it's a book, an article, or even a few pages of your favorite novel, reading every day has countless benefits for your mind, body, and soul.

Benefits of Daily Reading:
📖 Boosts Brain Power – Reading strengthens neural connections, improving memory and cognitive function.
📚 Expands Knowledge – Every book, article, or blog post introduces new ideas, cultures, and perspectives.
🧠 Enhances Focus and Concentration – Unlike scrolling through social media, reading requires deep focus and engagement.
💡 Improves Creativity and Imagination – Stories transport us to different worlds and spark new ideas.
😌 Reduces Stress – Reading can lower heart rate and ease anxiety, making it a great way to unwind.
🗣️ Strengthens Communication Skills – Exposure to new words and ideas improves vocabulary and writing abilities.

How to Make Reading a Daily Habit:
✔ Set Aside Time – Even 10–15 minutes a day can make a difference.
✔ Carry a Book Everywhere – Keep a book or e-reader handy for spare moments.
✔ Swap TV Time for Reading – Replace one episode of a show with a few chapters.
✔ Find What You Love – Fiction, non-fiction, poetry—read what excites you!

💡 Start Today! Pick up a book, dive into a new story, and experience the power of reading every day.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Lighthouse Public Schools is excited to announce a partnership with 1st Day School Supplies for families to purchase school supplies for the 2025-2026 school year.  We have worked with 1st Day School Supplies to significantly lower the cost of classroom supplies for students and families this year.  The cost for a full set of student supplies is less than $30.00.  This is 1/2 of last years cost for supplies.  The school supplies are still the highest quality on the market.  The cost per student is cheaper than Amazon, Target, and Walmart.   AND....it's easy, convenient, and delivered directly to your child's classroom.

Back-to-school sneaks up on us, and suddenly we're running from store to store trying to find supplies. But what if you could check it off your list today?

1st Day School Supplies makes it easy. In just a few clicks, you can order the exact supplies your teacher requested, packaged in a beautiful new box and delivered on time, stress-free!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Ms. Whitaker’s 7th grade class recently finished “Red Scarf Girl: A Memoir of the Cultural Revolution.” The book focuses on the experiences of a middle school student growing up in 1960s Communist China.
Today, the students had their final book talk over “Red Scarf Girl,” and thanks to @goldenwoksatx, they got to enjoy some delicious Chinese food, too! In order to earn this treat, each student was required to complete a 5 paragraph argumentative essay over the book. Lo mein, egg rolls and cheese puffs made accomplishing this task even more satisfying!🥡✍️
A big thank you to Golden Wok for their generous donation! And a shoutout to our students for their hard work in this unit!
