Principal's Message

Dear Families,

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to each of you who joined us for lunch with your children. It was a joy to see our school community come together. Your presence is invaluable.

Parent-teacher conferences are happening, and we encourage you to sign up promptly. This collaborative effort allows you to work alongside your child's teacher, ensuring we unlock their full potential.

I also express my most sincere gratitude for the gift of feedback. Your input over the past two weeks has been both encouraging and constructive. We are actively working on incorporating your suggestions, and your feedback has played a pivotal role in our rapid improvements. Please utilize the form below my message to communicate any further thoughts, whether they are commendations or areas for improvement. All your feedback will be taken as part of our school needs assessment as we gather data to create next year's campus improvement plan.

As we embark on the hiring season for the next academic year, your involvement is crucial. If you've reached out to me via the feedback form to ask if I can contact specific hiring platforms, please get in touch with me, as your assistance will help identify those platforms efficiently. Remember, unless you provide your name, the feedback remains anonymous.

Also, I am thrilled to announce the outstanding performance of our school's chess team this past weekend. Congratulations to each member of the team for their hard work and dedication.

Finally, I would like to take a moment to remind you all about the upcoming STEM Expo that will take place next Saturday. This is an excellent opportunity for our students to explore different areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The expo promises to be a fun-filled day with exciting activities, workshops, and demonstrations that will inspire our students to pursue careers in STEM fields. Please mark your calendars and make sure to attend this fantastic event with your children. We look forward to seeing you there! (See the flyer attached to the newsletter)

Thank you for your continued support and dedication. Together, we will keep fostering a robust and vibrant school community.

Warm regards,

Dr. G

From Ms. Hernandez (Registrar):

Don't forget to create your Parent Portal Account, so you can check your child's grades, attendance, assignments and teacher's notes.
If the student is absent for more than three consecutive days, a doctor's note must be turned in to Ms. Hernandez.
Any absence other than doctor's appointment, family emergency (hospitalization, death), religious holidays or court appearance, can't be excused. (Flyer attached)
For any information regarding grades reports, attendance or students' contact information, please contact Ms. Hernandez 972-749-5903 or email YAHERNANDEZ@dallasisd.org
