PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
We are grateful to be back and to have the support of our Solar families to stay safe in the midst of the nation-wide COVID uptick. If someone in your child's class tests positive, you will receive an email notification once contact tracing is complete. We will continue to do our part to closely monitor practices and protocols and complete contact tracing in a timely manner.
Feedback will always be critical to our success as we take on new challenges and continue to grow. We count on our families to provide us with feedback to help us to continually improve. Send us an email or fill out the survey below to provide us with the data, tools and perspectives we need to reflect, adapt and excel.
We will be postponing Tuesday and Thursday clubs due to COVID safety to ensure that we have enough staff to monitor and lead our after school activities. We will let all families know once the new sign-up has gone out for Spring clubs. Thank you for your patience and cooperation and if you have any concerns, please reach out!
WE NEED YOUR HELP! In an effort to streamline the dismissal change procedure and lessen wait times when calling the front office, parents will be asked to submit dismissal changes via Google Form beginning January 5. The form will be closed daily at 3pm. Parents needing to make an emergency change after this time should call the office at 972-749-4300.
WE NEED FEEDBACK FROM EVERYONE!!
Do you have a sibling applying to Solar for the 22-23 school year? Are you considering a magnet school for the 22-23 school year? Do you have any ideas for improving our school? We need your help! The grade level with the most responses to this survey will have a celebration! CLICK HERE

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.
