Dear Knight Families,

I know that this is just the beginning of school, but as the Director I actually start with the end in mind. What do I mean by that exactly? The Greeks called it Telos. It is the ultimate goal or aim. One of my ultimate goals is that we build a culture of excellence at DCA that is based on the good, the true and the beautiful. We work together to make the most of every moment we have. We emphasize poetry, math songs, and JOY from the first day. We do not believe in wasted time. We believe that procedures are not "rules," they are "expectations of behavior as a human being". The first two weeks of School are about the Procedures, Expectations and Schedule by using Math, Reading, Pledges, and JOY! We believe that to achieve the culture of excellence, we cannot do it alone. We must partner with each family and they with us to truly be OUR BEST. I hope you all have had a wonderful start, the year has just begun!

Best Regards,

Mrs. Scott

Campus Director

Parents of students who have deficiencies in their immunization records received paper notifications of needed vaccines in their students' backpacks on Friday. (If your child was absent and has deficiencies in their vaccine record, you will receive your notification this week.) Students are enrolled provisionally and have 30 days from the first day of school to bring their vaccine records into compliance in accord with 2022-2023 Texas Minimum State Vaccine Requirements for Students. If you received a notification in a brown envelope, please do not delay in getting the needed immunizations. Bring or email updated records from a doctor office or clinic to the school office by September 10. We cannot accept records from other schools or entities.

I am so excited about starting up all the different programs I have planned for this year. The initial interest form for the After-school sports, family exercise club, and family running club was off the charts. I am awe-struck by how many people are interested in this. So with that being said here are the official sign-up forms. You will need to fill this one out even if you did the first form.

The first form is the Family exercise class and Family Cardio Club. A parent/guardian must be present for their student to participate. This sign-up is for students in Kindergarten - 5th grade.
