Christie Elementary

Dan Christie Elementary Families,

As we continue to grow and learn together, I want to take a moment to encourage all of us to lead with kindness, empathy, and respect in all that we do. Our campus is a vibrant place made stronger by the diversity of perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences that each of you brings.

Now more than ever, it’s important to recognize that collaboration, open-mindedness, and mutual respect are not just ideals—but essential elements of a thriving academic and social community. Let’s strive to support one another, work together across differences, and create spaces where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued.

This spirit of community extends beyond our campus, too. As outlined in our We Prosper strategic plan, we recognize and uplift the vital role that families and parents play in the success of our students. By strengthening these partnerships, we reinforce a supportive network that empowers students to thrive both inside and outside the classroom.

Kindness is powerful. It can be expressed in the smallest acts—listening with intent, helping a classmate, or simply showing up for one another. Together, let’s foster an environment where collaboration is encouraged, differences are celebrated, and every member of our extended community is treated with dignity and compassion.

Thank you for all that you do to make our campus a welcoming and inspiring place for everyone.

Mrs. Wilson
Principal
Dan Christie Elementary

We are VERY excited about our students having the opportunity to participate in the University Interscholastic League (UIL) A+ Academics Competition.

Students who are interested in learning about, practicing, and competing in these events will receive information via google classroom to prep for the events at home. In the fall we will have a Campus meet based upon what you have learned from what we shared. The 10 students in each grade level in each event scoring the highest will advance to the Competition Team.

This group will attend weekly practices, beginning in December. At the end of January, the top four (4) students in each event, in each grade level will advance to the zone meet in February.

Following the Zone UIL meet, the top six (6) students in each event, in each grade level will advance to the District meet on Saturday, March 7, 2026.

You will be able to indicate areas of interest for your student. Please keep in mind that there may be conflicts with practice and/or competition times, and it may not be possible to participate in multiple events.

Together we champion student growth, leadership, and ownership of learning by empowering students.

One of our campus strategies aligned to Together We Cultivate includes: Partnering with the guiding coalition, monthly staff development meetings will include focused mini PD with an instant takeaway, and reflection of current instructional practices to determine future mini PD offerings and targeted areas of growth for individuals and teams. This week our staff took part in crafting an effective mini lesson within our workshop model.

As part of our commitment to collaboration and student learning, our teams work together to model effective instructional strategies.

Christie will actively involve families as partners in education, strengthen local ties, and foster a shared sense of Prosper Pride that unites our entire community.
