Our Promise
Every student in Dallas School District is known by name, strength, and need, and graduates ready for career, college, and community.
We're Gonna Be OK👍
Thank you Teachers!
Who knew?....I did😊
I say this often and hope you don't ever get tired of hearing it, but what we have at LaCreole is special. There are not a lot of schools around that put such a high value on supportive relationships for our kids, but what is equally as impressive is the value we put on supporting one another. I am blessed to be a part of the work that you all do and though the work is quite different these days, I see that if anything our new experience has shined an even brighter light on our strengths as a school.
You all are amazing! Thanks for all that you do!
Glad you're here!

Reminders
Print Materials:
- Thanks for getting your print in on time :)
- Let's aim for getting each week's print materials to Debbie by the end of the day Wednesday.
- Please request 25 copies of whatever you send. We need to streamline the packets a bit.
Packet Pickup Process:
- We will utilize Whitworth as our packet pick up center this will be in conjunction with the free lunch and breakfast program.
- Packets will be accessible at Whitworth, Fridays, and again on Mondays from 11:00 to 12:30.
STAY HOME SAVE LIVES!
- Staff is asked to stay away and work remotely (telework a.k.a. working from home).
- If you have a need to enter the building please clear this through Jamie and/or Heather to make sure we have a plan in place. For those who need to be in the building we will need a plan prior to you coming in.
- We likely all have a variety of needs at this time, e.g. child care for children at home, care of family members, etc. Please know that your health and safety, and that of those you care for, are a priority. We will work together to find schedules that enable you to both telework and attend to the needs of your families.
Know that:
- Taking care of people is job one.
- We more than likely won’t get it right the first time.
- Things will change.
- In waiting for the best solution, we risk missed opportunities.
- Traditional solutions don’t fit anymore.
- We have to respond in ways we’ve never thought of responding.
- What rules used to apply, might not apply anymore.
- Not having an answer is more prevalent than ever. It’s okay to not have the answer.
- Be calm, be clear, be direct and people will follow.
For now, know that we are all in this together. This situation was unpredictable; this time is unprecedented. We will figure it out together-- with patience and flexibility and understanding.
