Principal's Message
Greeting families,
I want to thank everyone who attended our school picnic yesterday. Seeing so many families come together and enjoy the beautiful weather was great. Kudos to PTO and all the families working behind the scenes to make this event successful. Please, share your pictures using the Circle app under school events. Don't hesitate to contact me if someone wants an image removed from the app.
I also want to remind everyone about our upcoming virtual meeting this week. Please make sure to mark your calendars and plan to attend. It is an excellent opportunity to stay informed about important updates and news about our school.
Additionally, I would like to remind everyone to register their child for the next school year. This will help us ensure a smooth transition and allow us to plan accordingly for the upcoming academic year.
We also offer yearbook pre-sales, so order your copy now to preserve all the special memories from this year.
I am proud to share that visitors from across the country were impressed by our students and our school's model. It is a testament to our entire community's hard work and dedication.
Please see the Counseling Newsletter for details on our first-ever Career Day, coming up on May 19thfrom 8:30-11:30am. If you are interested in volunteering, fill out this form as soon as possible!
Lastly, I would like to inform everyone about our end-of-the-year ceremony in May. We are still finalizing the details, but more information will come soon. It is a unique event that celebrates the accomplishments of our students, and we hope everyone can join us to commemorate this important milestone.
Thank you for your continued support, and I look forward to seeing everyone at our upcoming events.
Sincerely,
Dr. Gonzalez

Playground Update- 04/02/2023
According to the Dallas Independent School District Director of Grounds and Athletic Fields
the playground will ship mid- May and will be installed by the end of May.
The playground will have stand-alone equipment due to the size of the space and playground equipment space regulations.
The total cost is over $100,000. I will get the final price once it is available.
Digital Library Resources
We want to share these digital resources with you. Unfortunately, we have yet to get access to some resources as we do not have a librarian, but I am working on it. Please email me if you need help with any resources.
