Cougar Pride
Week of May 20, 2024
A Message from the Principal
Hello Cougar Families!!!
We have arrived!! The end of the school is here as we enter an event filled and memorable last week. I can see the excitement in our Cougars faces as they share with me their family summer plans. For those Genea Heights families that are traveling I wish you safe travels. Please feel free to share your experiences with other families in our GH Insider on Facebook. We recently added some of our new and incoming Cougar families to the insider and I have no doubt many are ready to become members of this Cougar Nation of ours. For our new families that are receiving our family SMORE for the first time...Welcome to Geneva Heights and thank you for becoming a part of our journey to becoming the best elementary school in DISD. We, at Geneva Heights, are excited that you have joined us and we look forward to partnering with you to make Geneva Heights the best experience for your Cougar.
As I mentioned earlier we have a very eventful week. We have our 5th grade Bridging Ceremony, grade level awards ceremonies, end of year parties, and a visit from the Perot Museum. Please look at the times and days posted on our flyer posted further down on our SMORE.
Finally, I want to thank the Dad's Club club for helping us empty our bookrooms as we prepare for our return to our renovated campus. In very short time they came together and provided us a much needed assist. We have had a great year and I look forward for what is instore. Have a wonderful Sunday and please feel free to chat with me this week as y'all are on campus for one of our many events.
Your Proud Principal of Geneva Heights Elementary,
