Principal's Message
Greeting families,
I hope you are having a great weekend.
This week's newsletter contains information regarding our April 22nd PTO picnic. Please, see the flyers regarding the donations according to your child's grade level and the one asking for volunteers. Please help us close the year with this magnificent family event that our PTO is putting together.
Registration for the 2023-24 school year is officially open. Parents of new and returning students must complete registration in the district's online enrollment system, SchoolMint. This means that all of our current families need to follow this procedure. (See the Resources you can use section for more information).
Ms. Hernandez, our registrar, will help you with any questions. You can contact her by email at yahernandez@dallasisd.org or by phone at 972-749-5903. The direct link to the registration page is: https://choose.dallasisd.org/login
Last, the next two weeks are short as students will not have classes Friday, April 7th (Staff/Student holiday) and Monday, April 10th (Inclement weather day), so I encourage you to bring your child every day so that they can benefit from the lessons.
If you have questions or comments, please do not hesitate and ask.
Thanks for choosing us!
Hello Biomed Prep Parents!
The Spring Family Picnic is coming up on Saturday April 22, from 11am-2pm. We need your help to make this a successful event, full of fellowship and fun. The Picnic will take place on school grounds, in the grassy area between the school building and the “solar” parking lot. Each class will have a special small donation request, more info to come on that.
The big needs are below. Please reply to Andrea Torzone at ATORZONE@GMAIL.COM with which area/activity you are able to help us with. You can also text Julia at 773-895-2709.
If you have ideas about how to make this a super day, please send them as well 😊 Donations to PTO are also appreciated for supplies, etc.
FOOD:
Right now, the plan is for families to bring their own picnic blanket and main course lunch for their kids and whoever else comes with them. The only way for us to provide a “main course” lunch is through donated, pre-made food.
Does anyone have connections for lunch food?
Who is willing to obtain donations of pre-made food?
Local bakeries were happy to donate for the November picnic which was cancelled due to weather. Who would try to obtain donations?
DAY OF PICNIC HELP:
10a-11a set up help:
Set up sign in/welcome table with name stickers:
2p-3p clean up help:
Activities and games:

Plant pot painting station (kids will get a pot to paint, it’s Earth Day!)

The flyer has optional treats that students and families could bring for Ms. Maffucci and Mrs. Cruz-Garcia throughout the week.

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.
Follow the link below to access Dallas ISD digital library resources.
Note: Your child's teacher can provide a district ID number.
Social and Emotional Learning (S.E.L)
