You can help your child earn Accelerated Reading points by reading with them at home or making reading time for your child at home!

Accelerated Reader is a computer program that helps teachers and librarians manage and monitor children’s independent reading practice. Your child picks a book and reads it at his own pace. When finished, your child takes a short quiz on the computer. (Passing the quiz is an indication that your child understood what was read.) Accelerated Reader quizzes can also be taken for books that have been read to students in class and in the library. Accelerated Reader gives children, teachers, and librarians feedback based on the quiz results, which the teacher then uses to help your child set goals and direct ongoing reading practice.

You can learn more about Accelerated Reader program here.

A large number of books have Accelerated Reader quizzes connected to them. If your child reads a book from home, they can bring it to school to take a quiz too.

You can ask your child's teacher for more information.

If the campus earns 5000 points collectively, Ms. Fredo, Mrs. Fischer and Mrs. Cano will dye their hair purple!

Our next meeting is Tuesday, November 2nd.

If you are interested in joining, please contact our Parent Community Liaison, Araceli McBeth and araceli.mcbeth@dvisd.net

Everyday in P.E. students practice balancing and various dynamic stretches to increase their focus, flexibility, and muscular endurance.

Students have completed a brief four square unit so they can enjoy the new four square courts painted in their recess areas. Now they are learning the correct throwing form for the underhand throw. They know if they point and step toward their target they will have more success when throwing. Have fun practicing the overhand throw with your child outside. The cues we say are, "point, step, swing my arm back, and throw!"

If you are interested in helping our classroom teachers and campus by taking home materials to prepare for students including, cutting, stapling, creating booklets, etc., there is plenty of work to share with everyone!

You can also email our Parent Community Liaison Araceli.McBeth@dvisd.net for more information and to volunteer your time at home to help our campus!

It is important that students exit their vehicle quickly to keep traffic flowing. Please help us with this so that we can make sure arrival happens quickly and most importantly, safely for everyone.

Please make sure you have your student's car tag displayed in your dashboard at pickup. If you need an additional car tag, please visit our front office and present your ID to be issued a new one.

• If you are going to change how your child goes home, please communicate this with the front office by 2:00PM
• If you are going to pick your child up from school before dismissal, please pick them up no later than 2:30PM. To ensure the safety of our students and that everyone gets home, we will not pull students from classrooms after 2:30PM.
• Parents are prohibited from pulling a student off the bus at dismissal.
• Students will be released during the school day only to persons listed in Skyward.

Apply today to substitute on our campus!
