Homecoming Parade and Pep Rally
September 5th at 6pm at Woodforest
Stadium this years theme is
Red Wagon Homecoming Parade
The school days are going great and everyone has settled in. I hope it has been
great for your family and student(s). Activities are up and going and there are
a lot of exciting things taking place at College Park. Volleyball, tennis, and
cross country have been competing and doing very well. This week we add football as
they open their season Friday night. Next week is busy as it is Homecoming week. Spirit
week with a "red wagon" parade and pep rally on Wednesday at Woodforest Stadi-
um. We will end the week with a game against Aldine MacArthur and the Homecoming
Dance on Saturday night. It is an exciting time. Make sure your child is involved and
attending events so they get the entire high school experience.
Car-line: I appreciate eve-
ryone's efforts to cooperate
with the car line this year. Overall it has
gone very well. A few things to point
out and ask for your help. First, the
more that cars stay in the right hand lane
the better. If you can drop off your stu-
dent prior to the drop off zone but at the
curb in front of the school (not by the CP
bushes), that is helpful and then you can
move to the thru-traffic lane and move
on. Please try not to pass cars in the thru
-traffic lane and pull in front of cars in
the drop-off zone or after the drop off
zone. This action is what slows drop-off
down for everyone. We are currently
unloading 10 cars in the drop off zone
every 10-20 seconds. That is a lot of cars
quickly if everyone is doing what is
asked. Please remember that the more
prepared your student is to exit the car,
the better for everyone. Last, remember,
the more that try to by-pass the system,
the more delays we have for everyone.

DISTINQUISHED LECTURE SERIES
Tuesday, September 11
John Lynch, Vice President Nuage Group Principal Consultant, Cloud Co;
The Information Technology in Business, and the Business of IT
TWCP LGI 6pm
We want to make sure that everyone is off to a great start. In order to do so, we want to remind parents and students of information in the handbook about deliveries to students during the school day.
1. If a student forgets an items at home (lunch, project, assignment), we are happy to have a process in place that allows the parent to sign-in the item in the front office. Students will pick up the item in the assistant principals office between classes or during lunch.
2. Please remember that food items that are delivered for a student by the parent should be for the student only. Due to health and safety issues, you cannot deliver food for a group of students. No Diner Dash/Uber Eats or outside food vendor deliveries will be accepted.
3. In order to maintain the best learning environment please know that we are unable to accept any delivery from an outside vendor (flowers, balloons, etc.) for students.
4. Car services, such as Lyft and Uber, are not allowed to pick up students up for appointments or to travel from school in any method. Students will not allowed to be checked out. We appreciate all of your cooperation and help in making this a smooth year.
Continuing to do our best to keep our students safe and our parents/friends safe,
we have made some changes to the entrances to our gyms and stadiums for our
Athletic activities.
College Park

At the end of July, both of our TWCP Band Feature Twirlers competed at the National Baton Twirling Association Championships in South Bend, Indiana at Notre Dame University,
America’s Youth On Parade (AYOP). In order to compete at na-tionals, twirlers have to earn a spot by winning a State or Region-al title in a “Miss Majorette Pageant”. A pageant consists of a triathlon style event: modeling and inter-view, twirling (solo) and strutting (intricate dance and baton twirling) with combined scores dictating placements. At AYOP Nationals, both twirlers spent five days competing in the three-part pageant for their age and skill category along with numerous individual events such as solo, strut, two baton, three baton, and modeling. The National Baton Twirling Association has been hosting this national event at Notre Dame University since 1948 and it is the American Olympics of Twirling. Thousands of twirlers converge for an unbelievable week of contest and comradery. Both Emma and Madison performed at the highest level for their age and skill group. Emma Newsoroff is a Senior and earned her opportunity to compete at nationals by earning her title at the 2018 Southwest Regional NBTA Competition that was held at College Park in March. Emma won the Southwest Regional Sen-ior Intermediate Pageant and continued on to compete at nation-als at Notre Dame. Emma finished third out of 27 twirlers in her competition group. Madison Frantzen is a Junior and earned her opportunity to com-pete at nationals by earning her title at the 2018 Texas State NBTA Twirling Competition in Lubbock, TX in June. Madison won the State Teen Beginner Pageant and continued on to compete at nationals at Notre Dame. Madison finished elev-enth out of 37 twirlers in her competition group.
