A message from Principal Santos...
🎄🕎 How do you spread holiday cheer for our amazing Solar staff? Please visit your child's grade-level landing page called "December Sign-ups" in the site navigation bar at top of this page! There you will see all the many different opportunities for you to make our amazing staff to feel extra special this holiday season. As always, we appreciate your support and generosity!
After spending my 10th first semester at Solar, I am blown away with how far we have come. I am truly so grateful for this experience and for the opportunity to be in your lives. I cannot thank you enough for all your support this semester. It truly means the WORLD to us. We hope that you have the most wonderful break and come back refreshed in the new year! Cheers, Solar Family!
We have shared the testing schedule for our final week of testing before the break. Please plan accordingly. Students should arrive at school by 8:00 a.m. on testing days. Each student will have only one attempt to complete the assessment. Students who arrive late or absent will participate in our make-up ACP testing Jan. 6-20.
ACPs count 10% towards the semester grade for students in Grades 6-8 and 5% towards the semester grade for students in Grade 5.
The Grade 5 Science ACP has been changed to Thursday, December 18, 2025.

NOTE 2:
A student may be enrolled provisionally if the student has an immunization record that indicates the student has received at least one dose of each specified age-appropriate vaccine required by this rule. To remain enrolled, the student must complete the required subsequent doses in each vaccine series on schedule and as rapidly as is medically feasible and provide acceptable evidence of vaccination to the school. A school nurse or school administrator shall review the immunization status of a provisionally enrolled student every 30 days to ensure continued compliance in completing the required doses of vaccination. If, at the end of the 30-day period, a student has not received a subsequent dose of vaccine, the student is not in compliance and the school shall exclude the student from attendance until required dose is administered.
NOTE 3:
Exemptions from immunization requirements may be granted on a medical basis or for reasons of conscience. A medical exemption, signed by a physician, is required annually if not otherwise stated by the physician. Exemption for reasons of conscience must be submitted on an affidavit provided by the Texas Department of State Health Services. Exemption for reason of conscience is granted for two years.
Exemptions are not recognized in time of epidemics. Students will need to be immunized or not attend school if an epidemic is declared by
the Commissioner of Health.
NOTE 4:
To ensure the health and safety of all students, we ask that parents and guardians submit updated immunization records as soon as possible. Administration will be reaching out to families whose records are not up to date. Thank you for helping us maintain a safe and healthy learning environment for everyone.
