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.

💦🥤WATER BOTTLES: We have had several glass water bottles break in the cafeteria/classrooms this past week, so for the safety of all students, please make sure the water bottle is not glass but plastic/thermos material. Also, we have already had a few lose their owners, so be sure to label water bottles with your student's first and last name!

Early giving for North Texas Giving Day is officially open, we are excited to kick off this important campaign for our Solar community.
Friends of Solar Prep raises funds to help provide the experiences, programs and resources that enrich learning at Solar Prep for Girls and Solar Prep for Boys and go beyond what traditional public-school funding can provide.
In the coming days, teachers will launch individual giving pages for their classrooms, each with its own donor goal. Please be on the lookout for information from your teacher about how you can support and share your classroom’s campaign with family and friends.
North Texas Giving Day is September 17, but you don’t have to wait to participate. Early gifts of any amount are welcome and help us build momentum toward our goal.
And there’s another way to stay connected! Friends of Solar Prep has a new Instagram page. Follow us for North Texas Giving Day updates — and much more from Friends of Solar throughout the school year.
We are excited with the HUGE boost in PTA members this year and are happy to FINALLY annouce our FIRST GENERAL MEETING of the year! Please join us after pick up at 4pm Wednesday, September 9th.
