A MESSAGE FROM
Principal Santos
AFTER SCHOOL CLUBS
After school clubs are off to a great start! With the amount of staff we have available to safely and quickly dismiss students, we will be utilizing the carline. If you have not picked up your car tag, please do so. We ask that all parents stay in their cars for club dismissal. If there are any parents who would like to volunteer to help with club dismissal, please let Ms. Seagroves know.
TENNIS AND DANCE - To save time and ensure the safety of ALL of our students, we have asked that all girls in Tennis and Dance not bring an entire change of clothes but instead wear shorts under their skirt/jumpers and wear the appropriate sneakers to school so that all they have to do is take off their jumper/skirt. This small change will help us all immensely. Thank you for your support!

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.

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.
