Dear Cougar Families,
As we head into a new week, I want to thank you for the many ways you support our Cougar Cubs. We see their growth every day as they practice new skills, build friendships, and learn to be kind and helpful classmates.
Please take a few minutes to read this week’s newsletter for upcoming dates and campus updates. Thank you for partnering with us and for helping make China Spring Primary a place where our little Cougars can shine!
Little Paws, Big Growth! 🐾
Your Principal,
Ashlee Duncan

GT Parent Information Meeting
Parents interested in learning more about the CSISD Gifted and Talented (GT) program are invited to join us on Wednesday, September 30th from 5:30-6:30pm at China Spring Elementary School, GT room (103).
This meeting is designed for parents (K-5) who would like to learn more about GT services and the identification process for students who are not currently participating in the GT program.
Your Form Submission Matters
China Spring ISD is asking every family to complete the National School Lunch Program Form for the 2026-27 school year. Every response matters. The information helps us have a clearer picture of our school community and make sure we have the resources and programs to support all students. Whether or not your family qualifies for meal benefits, completing the form helps strengthen our district and the services we can provide to students. Your information is kept private. China Spring ISD does not have access to the information you provide on the form. Families only need to complete one application for all students in the household: Complete the National School Lunch Program Form.
Camp Careful Parent Assembly
China Spring ISD Social Services is hosting Camp Careful, a parent educational forum, on Monday, October 5, from 6:00-7:00 pm in the library at China Spring Elementary School. Guest speaker Dr. Soo Battle is a board-certified pediatrician and the founder of Camp Careful, a program that helps parents, children and communities learn ways to prevent child sexual abuse. Dr. Battle will share age-appropriate strategies and practical tools parents can use to talk with their children about personal safety, empowerment and open communication. Due to the sensitive nature of the material, this event is intended for parents and guardians only. Dr. Battle will host a student assembly at CSP on November 5. Parents will receive additional information about the assembly, including a consent form for student participation, October 22.

Upcoming Safety Lock Down Drill, Week of October 12, 2026
In two weeks, China Spring Primary will conduct a scheduled lockdown drill as part of our required safety procedures. A lockdown drill teaches students and staff how to respond if there is a potential safety threat inside or outside the building that requires everyone to remain safely secured in classrooms. To help students feel prepared, staff will review lockdown procedures through a classroom presentation and discuss what to expect before the drill takes place. Our goal is to conduct the drill in a calm, age-appropriate manner that helps students practice important safety procedures without creating unnecessary anxiety.
Child Nutrition
Lunch visitors have begun! Lunch visitors must notify the teacher ahead of time so the student is escorted to the appropriate location. Visitors must check in at the front office with their state issued ID, and must be on the student’s contact list. No exceptions can be made.
If you need to add money to your child's lunch account, please visit the School Bucks website here.
The lunch menu can be found here
Baylor Volleyball Opportunity
Baylor Athletics would love to welcome our community to the Ferrell Center during the volleyball season. Through the link below, teachers, staff and families can access $3 tickets to select matches throughout the season.
There are several matches that could be great opportunities for teachers, students and families to enjoy a Baylor volleyball match together, including Teacher Appreciation & 254 Night on Sept. 16, Fairytale at Ferrell on Oct. 2 against UCF, and our huge game against Kansas on Oct. 25.
We hope you’ll consider making a Baylor volleyball match part of your school community’s time together this season. We look forward to welcoming you to the Ferrell Center and cheering on the Bears together!
