ECLIPSE INFORMATION FOR THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL, AUGUST 21, 2017

The Eclipse is Coming!

On Monday, August 21, 2017, a total eclipse will cross the entire United States for the first time since 1918.  Since North Texas is not located in the "path of totality", we will see a partial eclipse between 11:40 a.m. and 2:40 p.m.  Our campus will take time the first day of school to experience the eclipse by providing a live stream from NASA in all classrooms, the cafeteria, and the gym so every student can experience the eclipse. Students will not go out to recess between 11:30-2:45 for safety. Teachers have received indoor lesson resources to make this event a valuable learning experience.

If you have any questions, please contact the school office. 

District Policy Regarding Absence Notes

If your child is absent from school due to illness, family emergency, religious holy day, or documented juvenile court proceeding, the district requires a parent/guardian to provide a hand-written excuse note or doctor’s note providing the reason for the absence within 3 days of your child’s return to school. These notes allow the school to code the absence “excused.” All absences will be coded as “unexcused” until the office receives a note. Excuse notes are very important since 10 or more unexcused absences within a 6 month period are considered a violation of the compulsory attendance law in Texas.
