How did your child perform on the STAAR Exam Last year? You can access your child's individual STAAR Report Card HERE along with Parent Resources to support your child in meeting their STAAR Goals this upcoming school year.

• Dallas ISD's Office of Family and Community Engagement invites you to complete this survey which closes October 21!

• We invite parents to volunteer and give our dedicated teachers a well-deserved break from recess duty! Our teachers work tirelessly for your children each day, and there’s no better way to say "thank you" than by giving them the gift of time!
• Sign Up to relieve a teacher from recess duty! (ACCESS CODE: WLESPRIDE)
• You must be cleared through the District Volunteer System prior to signing up.

• PK - 1st Grade ID Pick-Up cards are ready and will be distributed Monday during dismissal (if not already). Once parents have signed and dated their receipt of the pick-up cards, pink/green cards will no longer be valid.
• 2nd-5th Grade cards are delayed, and parents should continue to use the pink/green pick-up cards until they are distributed.

• Discuss the work completed with your child(ren) and compare it against the instructions provided by the teacher.

• Ask Questions at the end of the day. Some questions you can ask:

• Tell me about the best part of your day.
• What was the hardest thing you had to do today?
• Did any of your classmates do anything funny?

• Tell me about what you read in class.

• Who did you play with today? What did you play?

As we begin to launch our student clubs for the school year, please review our Student Activities Policy for the 2024-2025 School Year (English & Spanish)

In recognition of National Custodial Workers Day this Tuesday, October 2nd , we are dedicating our Staff Spotlight to our incredible custodial team! They are the unsung heroes who keep our school sparkling clean, safe, and ready for learning every single day. From shining hallways to spotless classrooms, their hard work makes a huge difference in creating a positive space for all of us. Let’s show them some love with big smiles, high-fives, and heartfelt thank-yous on October 2. They deserve a round of applause for everything they do behind the scenes to keep our school running smoothly!

October is National Bullying Prevention Month, a critical time for us to come together as a community to ensure our campus remains a safe and welcoming place for all students. Bullying in any form—whether in-person or online—can have lasting effects on a child's well-being. This month, we will be sharing resources and hosting activities to promote kindness, respect, and inclusion across all grade levels.

Did you know?

According to the National Bullying Prevention Center, more than half of bullying situations stop when a peer intervenes on behalf of the student being bullied. Let's empower our students to stand up for each other and build a positive environment where every child feels safe and valued. Together, we can make a difference!

October 5 is World Teachers' Day, and it's time to celebrate the heart and soul of our school—our amazing teachers! Their dedication, passion, and creativity light up our classrooms and inspire our students every single day. From shaping young minds to sparking curiosity, our teachers make a lasting impact on our school community. On this special day, let’s take a moment to recognize and appreciate the incredible work they do. Whether it’s a kind note, a shout-out, or a simple “thank you,” let’s make sure our teachers feel the love and appreciation they so deserve!
