Greetings Ruby Young Personalized STEAM Academy Families, 

I hope that you all are doing well. The weather is starting to change, please make sure that your student is dressed appropriately for the weather. Please remember that our doors open at 8:00AM. Students are not supervised before 8:00AM. 

Our Kinder-4th grade Field Trip to the Dallas Arboretum is this Monday. Please make sure that your student has enough layers on to keep them warm during the day. It will be cold and we want all our students attending dressed appropriately as this is an outside field trip. 

Just a reminder that there is no school this Friday. 

Our Student Council and College Driven Gear Up have partnered together to run a Canned Food Drive to benefit our school families and the DeSoto community. Please consider contributing to the cause. 

Is there a staff member you would like to recognize or praise? Please complete this form to let us know https://forms.gle/VLxhvmSg56k82ESHA

Did you know that students can earn Scholarships (FREE MONEY!!!) starting in Kindergarten? Review the links for more information: Elementary Scholarships   Middle School Scholarships 

Please make sure to check out the "Community Resources & Opportunities" section at the bottom. I have added several opportunities for students and families. 

Take care, 

Mrs. Torres

School Counselor
