💜🐾 Bulldog Family Weekly Update

🐾 Dear Bulldog Families,
We’re kicking off the week with our Drug-Free Dress-Up Days—let’s keep the energy high and the messages strong! 💪
📅 Reminder: Monday, October 20th is a B Day.
Our students are getting involved in incredible ways—from E-sports, GEMS, STEMbassadors, Girl Scouts, Green Team, NHS, TCC Dance, Band, Choir, and Athletics—there’s something for everyone! Please continue to encourage student participation, as involvement builds confidence, connection, and leadership.
For students needing extra academic support, tutoring sessions are available to help boost STAAR readiness. Reach out to our Instructional Coaches or Dean for details.
We’re also excited to announce that our PTO is now up and running!
📣 Interested in joining our PTO? Reach out to Instructional Coach Mrs. Quistiano at lquistiano@eisd.org for more information on how to get involved!
Let’s make it a great week, Bulldogs! 🐾💜

📚 Celebrate National Book Month!
|
October is National Book Month—a perfect time to celebrate the magic of reading! Books open doors to new worlds, spark creativity, and help us learn about ourselves and others.
Why are books so important?
🧠 They boost vocabulary and reading skills
🎨 They encourage imagination and critical thinking
💛 They build empathy by letting us see life through different perspectives
🌍 They provide a healthy escape and inspire lifelong learning
Whether it’s fiction, non-fiction, graphic novels, or poetry, there’s a book out there for everyone! Encourage your student to explore new genres, visit the library, or start a reading challenge this month.
Let’s turn the page together and make October a month full of stories, discovery, and fun! 📖✨

🔐 CyberSmart: Keeping Our Students Safe Online 🧠💻 |
October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month!
At Roy Johnson STEM Academy, we’re committed to keeping our students safe—not just in the classroom, but online too. With more learning and communication happening digitally, it’s important that students and families understand how to stay CyberSmart.
👨👩👧 For Parents & Students: 5 Simple Cyber Safety Tips
🛑 Think Before You Click
Don’t click on links or open attachments in emails or messages from people you don’t know. These could be scams or contain harmful viruses.
🔑 Protect Your Passwords
Never share your passwords—not even with friends. Use strong passwords with a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols.
📱 Be Social-Safe
Keep personal information (like your school, address, or phone number) private on social media. If you wouldn’t tell a stranger, don’t post it!
🧠 Speak Up
If something online makes you feel uncomfortable, tell a trusted adult—a parent, teacher, or counselor. You're never alone.
🔒 Update & Lock It Down
Keep apps and devices updated, and always log out when you're done using a public or shared device.
💬 Family Conversation Starter:
"What apps or websites do you use the most? Let’s talk about how to stay safe while using them."
We’re all in this together—let’s work as a team to build strong digital habits that last a lifetime. 💪🌐
