A message from Principal Santos...
We truly appreciate your support over the first nine weeks and cannot believe they are already behind us! We are eager to get the second nine weeks underway and look forward to many exciting activities and events ahead!
HAVE AN INCREDIBLE WEEK!
HELP SUPPORT OUR NEIGHBORS DURING DROP-OFF AND PICKUP
OUR NEIGHBORS HAVE REACHED OUT AND ARE ASKING FOR SOME HELP. When you are in carline on Henderson, please refrain from stopping in front of a driveway or street access to Henderson in order to maintain the ability of our neighbors to get in and out of their homes.
Parents are the most important role models for our students. Help us model leadership, empathy and self-awareness during our arrival and dismissal by respecting our safety expectations.

❗IMPORTANT REMINDERS
In order to ensure safety and consistency for dismissal, we want to remind parents that PIKMYKID changes are no longer taken over the phone or by any school personnel. Our staff will be happy to walk you through how to make the changes on the app. Parents must make changes on the app before the cut-off time of 2:45pm. We appreciate your support with this. Please contact Ms. Santos directly with any concerns or questions at oborrego@dallasisd.org.
SCHOOL STARTS AT 8:00 AM. Sisterhood Circle, Shine Time and Advisory Period are all critical components of our day of learning and we want to ensure all students are able to take part. We are giving parents some time to figure out timing with traffic and school zones. Students will be counted tardy beginning at 8:01. Parents must exit their vehicles and sign students in when dropping off after 8:00 AM. Please help us ensure that all of our Trailblazers are here on time!
