GIESINGER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
MAY 2015 |http://giesinger.conroeisd.net/
As we near the end of this school year we are focused on end of the year
activities; benchmarks, assessments, field day, and kindergarten and
fourth grade graduations. Please refer to our important dates so you can
participate in these activities.
This has been a very productive and rewarding school year. Giesinger
Elementary was one of twenty-five schools in Texas to receive the
National Blue Ribbon Award in Washington, D.C. Our students have
worked hard and gained many skills and acquired new knowledge. Our
teachers are dedicated to our school goal to add value to each student.
We celebrate all their successes!
Our PTO is a supportive and positive group of people who give of
themselves to all our students. I appreciate their hard work and
dedication to our school. The school carnival was a huge success and
students, parents and staff had a great time. Our PTO always goes the
extra mile for our students and staff. It has been a pleasure to work
with this organization.
Our parents are the best! Your support for your children and their
progress insures our school success. Our teachers and staff appreciate
your positive attitude and eagerness to assist whenever possible. Thank
you for being a part of the Giesinger family!
We have much to accomplish before school ends on Thursday, June 4,
2015. We will miss our fourth grade students as they transition to
intermediate school and look forward to seeing our returning students.
Have a safe and wonderful summer!

From Our Assistant Principal…
It seems like it was just yesterday when Mrs. Page and I were welcoming our Giesinger
Eagles on the first day of school and now another school year is almost over. I am
currently accepting summer school registration forms. I have information on academic and
enrichment sessions. Please contact me at 936-709-2606. Registration is currently open
and closes May 27, 2015.
Mrs. Hammond
From Our Counselor…
Wow! I cannot believe it is already May! Where has the year gone? With the year coming
to a close, I can't help but start thinking about the next school year. I know this time of
year can be hard on children due to not wanting to leave their current teacher or group of
classmates. So, here are some tips on how to address these issues.
PREPARING YOUR CHILD FOR TRANSITION
Anxiety is a normal feeling when transitioning to a new grade or school. Some children will
be affected by grade/school transitions more than others. Whether your child is entering
kindergarten, starting middle school, or just moving up another grade, preparing him/her is
very helpful and important.
Focus On The Positives: new friends, new teachers, and new opportunities
Address Fears: listen to and validate your child’s fears, talk about fears you had at
their age & how you handled it
Attend School Events: take advantage of orientations, many include tours of the
building
Reach Out For Support: if your child is experiencing high levels of anxiety about the
upcoming transition, consult available resources (books, internet, family, friends) or
the school counselor and teacher.
As always, I am here to help in any way I can. Please email me or call me if there is
anything I can do to help you and your Eagle!
