DONATIONS NEEDED!!!!!
Parents and Community! We need bottled water and hard candy for testing! We have 700 students and 4 different tests! Thats 2,800 bottles of water and candy bags! We want your student to stay focused and hydrated. Please consider donating a case of water and any type of wrapped hard candy for our testing days!
UPDATE NEEDED!
Parents! We are finding that we cannot contact parents via the phone numbers and emails listed in PowerSchool. If your child has an emergency on campus and/or if an administrator/teacher needs to you reach you we are unable! This is very unsafe for your child and prevents us from updating you with what's going on here at Comstock! Please update your information by emailing us your new information at brvilla@dallasisd.org. Please include your students name, grade level, and ID number (if you know it). We will update our records for you!
Attendance Matters!
Parents! We need your help in ensuring students are coming to school each day! Students who are not in school 90% or more percent of the time will not be promoted to the next grade level. Also, when they miss school, they miss CRITICAL instructional time! We want to see your students face EVERY DAY, ALL DAY! Please get them to school each and every day so we can engage them to change their futures! Doors open daily at 8:05a.m.
