📢 📣 Announcing our OCTOBER Employee of the Month... 𝗧𝗔𝗕𝗕𝗔𝗧𝗛𝗔 𝗣𝗜𝗣𝗘𝗦! 📢 📣
Our Employee of the Month is Mrs. Tabbatha Pipes. What makes this recognition extra special is that she was nominated by both a fellow teacher and her principal.
Her colleague described her as an amazing biology teacher, approachable and supportive, with a contagious smile and a positive attitude that makes CHS a better place.
Her principal shared that, even in just her second year here, she has already become a true teacher leader. She creates a welcoming, engaging classroom and has stepped up to lead Student Council, empowering students and encouraging their voices to be heard.
Mrs. Pipes’ positivity, leadership, and commitment to students make her a very deserving Employee of the Month.
Congratulations, Mrs. Pipes, and THANK YOU for choosing Caldwell ISD!

✨ 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻! ✨ Our first grade GT students dove into a hands-on lesson about cotton—exploring its journey from plant to product. From examining raw cotton to discussing its many uses, students engaged in meaningful conversations that built critical thinking and problem-solving skills along the way. 🌱👕 #CaldwellProud #CaldwellISD

📢 📣 Announcing another OCTOBER Student of the Month... 𝗘𝗟𝗘𝗡𝗔 𝗔𝗟𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗔𝗭-𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗡𝗔𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗭! 📢 📣
She was nominated by her teacher, who says Elena "has shown me what strength of character and strong, quiet leadership look like. She is the sweetest girl who never gives up, especially when it’s difficult. I have never seen someone work as hard as she does to be the best student musician in our class - and we've only been playing our instruments for 2 weeks now! Besides being a great student, Elena also demonstrates strong leadership qualities - not by being the loudest or most vocal student, but rather through her actions. She comes prepared to class, listens when she doesn’t understand, and helps others when possible. Elena is a prime example that great leaders are those who help and encourage others around them to also be the best versions of themselves they can be. "
Congratulations Elena, and THANK YOU for being an outstanding role model for other students at Caldwell ISD!

He was nominated by his teacher, who says Walker is an "excellent student in class. He focuses and pays attention even when presented with distractions around him. His interactions with other students have been appropriate and sometimes encouraging. His joyful personality can be contagious, encouraging others to join in on the cheer. He is extremely respectful when visiting with adults. He asks insightful questions and participates in class discussions. Walker makes Caldwell High School a better place by being an engaged student who wants to learn."
Congratulations Walker, and THANK YOU for representing Caldwell ISD so well!

📅 As we wrap up 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫, we want to remind our Hornet community just how much showing up matters!

FACT: Rather than enrollment, Texas school districts receive funding based on daily attendance.
In Caldwell ISD, even a 1% increase in attendance would bring in about $𝟭𝟭𝟵,𝟬𝟬𝟬—enough to fund roughly 𝙩𝙬𝙤 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨.

Every day counts. By being present, our students not only boost their own learning but also strengthen resources for everyone. Together, we can make a difference just by showing up! 💪
