We are excited and "FIRED UP" for the 2024-2025 academic year at THE IGNITE Middle School!

Greetings Ignite Family! We are excited for another amazing week ahead. Parents, please take some time to complete the Parent Needs Assessment for Counseling Services you can find below. This survey will assist us in planning and developing quality programs that best meet the needs of your scholar and family. Your input is valuable and your responses are anonymous.

Thank you to all the families who showed up to our first PTSA meeting! We were able to share exciting news about upcoming events and enjoy a variety of homemade salsa. We had a great time. We solidified a few positions for SBDM but have a few openings if anyone is interested. SBDM is the Site Based Decision Making Committee that assist in making decisions that impact the entire campus. We have our president and scribe but we are still in need of a business owner and vice president. All parents are welcome, a role is not required to participate. If you are interested in joining, please send Dr. Rhodes an email @ Lrhodes@dallasisd.org. The committee meets 4 times per year. Your voice matters!

We have planned some fun activities for our scholars. Parents, please complete the volunteer document below if you are interested in chaperoning any campus based activity. Our first dance will be October 24th from 4pm - 6pm. Details can be found below.

Remember Mondays and Thursdays are professional (button down, tie, and blazer) dress days. Families, please help us ensure scholars are in dress code. School starts at 8:35 sharp and dismisses at 3:55pm.

As we embark on this journey towards academic success, it is important that we are all on the same page and are delivering the same message to our scholars. We are one family, with one goal. Thank you for entrusting us with your child's education. We are honored to be a part of their academic journey and look forward to working together to help them achieve their fullest potential. Together, we will help our scholars discover their superpowers.

We Are IGNITE!

ONE TEAM, ONE GOAL.

Hispanic Heritage Month is an opportunity to shine a spotlight on the unique voices and experiences of and experiences of Hispanic/Latino Americans and recognize their history, journeys, and achievements. Through these celebrations, we can all help to inspire younger generations celebrate their culture and bring communities together.

Parents, please be advised that picking students up before the end of the school day can result in students having to make up time. Students must be present for the full day as much as possible to avoid being flagged for attendance for credit. Too many absences can lead to your scholar being retained or having to spend Saturdays and after school hours to make up their time. We are here to support however we can but, we need our scholars here on time and through the end of the day.

Parents come out to learn more about preparing your middle schoolers to be ready for college, the military or a career with a liveable wage.

Families, is your scholar interested in attending Townview School of Science and Engineering? If so, please RSVP for an opportunity to visit the campus and meet with the principal.

Ignite Family, if you and your family is in need of assistance with food, we are got you covered! We are so grateful to our parents who donated to the food pantry to afford us the opportunity to serve our families. Here, at IGNITE, we strive to support our students and families in every way that we can. We are honored to be able to help out if you need us. Reach out to Ms. Zamora for more information .

Parents, now that we are entering week 4 we will be enforcing uniforms. Students should adhere to the dress code found below. Parents will receive a call and be asked to bring their scholar the appropriate uniform if they are out of compliance. House shirts or spirit shirts may be worn on Fridays with jeans (no holes, rips, tears or shreds) or with uniform bottoms. Professional dress (blazer and tie) may be worn daily if the scholar so choses.

Monday/Thursday: The uniform shirt is a button down/Oxford shirt, not the polo.

Ignite's Thursday Threads Fundraiser has officially begun. Students may participate in free dress on Thursdays for $2.00. Free dress means they do not have to wear the professional dress uniform. Scholars may not wear jeans with rips, holes, tears or shreds, flip flops or slides, halter or crop tops, spaghetti straps, or dresses, skirts or shorts that are not fingertip length.

Ignite will be hosting a "BOO BASH" for all scholars. We have an AMAZING DJ, refreshments, dancing, and lots a fun planned. Come out and have a SPOOKTACULAR time with us. All scholars who purchase a ticket will be allowed to wear their Halloween costumes (no masks or props/toys allowed).
