A Message from the Principal
Hello Cougar Families!!!
We have two short weeks ahead of us as we will be off on Friday and next Monday. We have a few strong instructional weeks ahead of us as we approach state testing for upper grades in a month. Our IB Arts night (Thursday, April 4th) is fast approaching and we look forward to hosting all Geneva Heights families on campus. We also have the Solar Eclipse and Coffee with the Principal that we will have on campus. As we get closer to those dates we will send information with students and post on our website and Facebook page. Again, thank you to all the support from PTA and parent volunteers. We are trying to close out our school year with activities and testing while simultaneously prepping for the new campus opening. I wish everyone a great week!
Your Proud Principal of Geneva Heights Elementary,

The Dallas ISD Voly System ensures all our volunteers know the safety guidelines of helping in our schools and includes background checks. All volunteers must complete this process yearly.
Lunchroom Volunteers NEEDED,
The first step is to complete the DISD volunteer process @ https://Dallasisd.voly.org. Second, please choose the lunchroom opportunity that works best for you. You may choose a 30-minute lunch period or choose to help with all the lunch periods. Finally, once you arrive at the school present your photo ID to Mrs. Rios and you’ll be off to help make the students’ lunch time efficient and enjoyable. Your support is always greatly appreciated.
