LEMONADE DAY
Join us for 3rd-5th grade Lemonade Day this Thursday, May 26th from 1:00-2:30pm!
Lemonade Day is just ONE of the amazing programs our girls can participate in thanks to what they earn through Girl Scout cookie sales. Through their cookie profits, we are able to purchase supplies for each classroom for Lemonade Day. Every year, each class determines their budget and makes a list of the supplies to purchase: cups, straws, fruit, sugar, water, ice, fancy umbrellas, secret ingredient and supplies to make their stand pop and create the most tasty lemonade treat!
Every year we celebrate Lemonade Day and honor our late co-founder by participating in her favorite STEAM project. Ms. Turner loved this project because of how it brought ALL of the components of STEAM together. And it doesn't stop there, each year our Brownie troops participate in the Journey Brownie Quest, where they learn about what it means to give back.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
3rd-5th Lemonade Day: Sign-up on Voly!
STAND ROTATION
On Thursday, in honor of Ms. Turner, 3rd-5th grade scholars may wear a
yellow shirt or their Girl Scouts shirt.
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.

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.
