Capital MetroRail is now testing their new high speed with passenger service for Central Texas to start hopefully soon. Freight trains run much slower, nosier, and not as often as the new high speed. Please watch out as these sleeker, faster trains travel through your neighborhoods and past your schools.
When driving and approaching the tracks please take caution and don't ever stop your car on the tracks when stopped at a red light near the train tracks. Be especially careful turning across the train tracks. Please do not drive around the crossing gates. Don't walk or play on the tracks. Never under any circumstances race a train to a crossing - a deadly risk!

CONGRATULATIONS WARRIORS FOR A SUPER HONOR!
ACT is a curriculum based achievement test that is aligned to the Texas curriculum. 2008 proved an all time high with more than 14,000 Texas students taking the ACT.

Canyon Creek Elementary offers a great opportunity to celebrate a child's birthday, and, help the school library by placing a book of quality library binding in a collection that has high utilization and a large rate of circulation. A book can be purchased with a selection being made by the parent or child. A dedication will be placed in the front of the book and presented in the classroom to the child. What a great way to make a child feel special and every child who checks the book out will see the dedication in honor of the child's birthday!
It is important to purchase books that have library binding rather than trade bindings like books purchased at local stores. Continuous handling by loving hands need strong binding such as found in the library bindings.
Students living in Canyon Creek attend this exemplary elementary school. Sharon Whisnand, the school librarian, is responsible for making this and many other programs such a success.

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality's Clean Bus Program granted RRISD a grant totaling $239,258 to retrofit 68 school buses. The daily routes to and from school with the updated technology should improve the air quality for the school children and the bus drivers.
Congratulations RRISD for jumping on the band wagon and claiming a piece of this grant offered. The application deadline is extended to Dec.15, 2008!
33 percent of the school buses in local fleets are more than 10 years old according to the Texas Education Agency. A total of 8 million has been set aside for a first-come, first-served basis in 2009 for school districts.
