Principal's Message
Greeting families,
I hope you are having a great weekend.
I am excited to inform you about some upcoming events at our school. Next week, we will hold our first annual picnic, and I want to encourage all of you to participate. It will be a fun-filled day with activities for parents and students. Please RSVP to give us an idea of the materials we need to have ready. We need some tables and chairs for the event. If you have some that we can use, contact our PTO. Remember to bring your sunscreen and picnic blankets!
We also want to remind you to complete the school registration process. If you still need to complete this, please do so as soon as possible. Ensuring your child is registered for the next school year is essential. It will also let us create next year's rosters faster. Again, refer to the "Resources you can use" section for detailed instructions on how to do it.
Additionally, we wanted to remind you that picture day has already occurred. I apologize for not being clear enough about the uniform but this will be corrected on the future.If you still need to order your child's school pictures, you can do so online. Don't worry if you missed picture day! Please contact the company as they will be holding make-up picture day this week for any students who still need their pictures. These pictures will not be taken at school but at Logan's office; they will do it only this week.
Last, we will have visitors from school leaders nationwide on April 20th. They are interested in learning more about our program. These will happen during the day, but rest assured that all the visitors have been cleared in advance.
Thank you for your continued support of our school. If you have any questions regarding these events, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,
Dr. Gonzalez
Thanks for choosing us!

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.
