A message from Principal Santos...
ONE MORE sleep until we begin the 26-27 school year! We cannot wait to welcome our Trailblazers. We had the most amazing two weeks of planning and preparation as we geared up for the first day. We complied all the most critical information you may need to know for the first two weeks. The MOST important for the first day is the Arrival and Dismissal. Fill out the form AND click on the link to see all the guidelines. As always we are flexible with all the small things for the first few days. Do not stress if all of your child's supplies do not make it on the first day. We have more than enough to get our day going! For the sake of our campus efficiency, the second most critical things are - registration and immunizations.
🚗🚌 ARRIVAL AND DISMISSAL: For the Safety and Security of ALL of our students and Teachers: Reminder that ONLY Pre-K and Kinder Parents may walk their child to class on the first day AND ONLY if they park on Mission enter through the Henderson Doors. If Pre-K or Kinder parents choose to stay for Boo Hoo Breakfast, they must walk back to their cars on Mission, come around to the parking lot on Manett and come in through the Front Office. This will also help us ensure that there is enough space to park for all parents dropping off through Henderson Doors.
ALL FAMILIES MUST FILL OUT THIS TRANSPORTATION FORM. Please follow THIS LINK to read all about our guidelines for arrival and dismissal. Our priority is always the safety of our students and we appreciate your support!
👕👚UNIFORMS/ATTIRE: Please click on the link for daily uniform expectations. We will be having our House Sorting Day on Friday, August 14th for all of our NEW-TO-SOLAR students. If your child was at Solar last year, please ensure they wear their decked-out Solar house colors to help cheer on our newest family members.

💉🩺 IMMUNIZATIONS: Per TEXAS State Requirements - As per state regulations, all students must have up-to-date immunization records on file with the school. Students will not be allowed to attend if they do not have their immunization records up to date. (or an affidavit turned in for those who choose not to vaccinate.) These records are CRUCIAL for the health and safety of all students and staff. If you need assistance please reach out to Nurse Arteaga at mariamartinez8@dallasisd.org.
