GO TRAILBLAZERS!
A MESSAGE FROM
Principal Santos
I spent most of this last week in awe of our amazing Solar families. Seeing the ways that our parents have all pulled together to make sports happen for our girls has blown me away. Organized sports teams have been something we have seen attempted multiple times, and while we have seen some success, none have been like what I have witnessed this year. Thanks to some awesome volunteers on our PTO Board and Solar League, all of the coaches, and wonderful parents who jumped in to be a part of this effort, our girls have had a ball on each one of our mighty Trailblazer teams!
Pictured above are a few shots I was able to capture this week, but I wish I were able to capture more! If you have pictures you have taken of games or practice and would like to share them - you can upload them HERE - or email them to me. When using the Photocircle App - make sure that your name and picture are visible and consistent with Powerschool for privacy reasons.
AFTER SCHOOL CLUBS
All academic clubs for 3rd-7th grade will begin this week. Please see the flyer below for more information about clubs and club pickup.
CELEBRATING HERITAGE & ESPERANZA
Deputy Superintendent Susana Cordova kicked off the Hispanic Heritage Month with the theme Esperanza: A Celebration of Hispanic Heritage and Hope.
During this month, Dallas ISD —where about 70 percent of students are Hispanic—will provide a series of highly engaging programs and activities centered around the celebration, empowerment, remembrance, and appreciation of our Hispanic community's cultural heritages, history and contributions.

COVID SAFETY
Following updated guidance from the Texas Education Agency, Dallas ISD is notifying all teachers, staff and families of all students in a classroom if someone in the classroom tests positive for COVID-19. The district will also begin also notifying all teachers, staff and families of all students in an extracurricular activity or after-school program if someone from that activity or program tests positive for COVID-19.
The district is primarily using the School Messenger automated call out system to notify families. Dallas ISD strongly encourages parents to make sure they have their current phone number and email in the system to receive these notifications. Families can contact the front office if they need to update their contact information in their student’s file.
We are thankful to be able to provide information to our families for better peace of mind. For more information on COVID safety - read our UPDATED COVID SAFETY PROTOCOLS or visit the district COVID safety page.

2021-2022
SOLAR PREPARATORY SCHOOL FOR GIRLS
KEY PRIORITIES:
Culture and Communication
Our goal is to clearly communicate the systems that reinforce the high-expectations and cohesive culture for students, parents, and staff. This focus on communication, data informed decision-making and consistency will elevate our staff and student culture to build the habits of mind and heart. These habits enable effective instruction, love of learning and excellence.
Project and Performance-Based Learning
Students will participate in meaningful and relevant learning experiences through the implementation of high quality project based learning across the campus. Students will make connections to the content they are learning. Instruction will focus on real-world situations with an emphasis on student agency, collaboration and students effectively communicating their ideas.
Math-Positive Culture
Math is for EVERYONE. A positive math culture will require that math is integrated across curriculum and contents throughout the school. We will work to improve campus-wide math mindsets, build fluency, and create a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts, problem solving and ways to manipulate numbers.
Blended Learning Practices
A deeper focus on the highest leverage differentiated learning systems that increase student achievement across the campus. Through blended-learning students receive instruction specific to their learning needs. The purpose, best practices and progress of our blended learning systems will be consistently to all stakeholders involved.
