From our Headmaster...
Dear Denton Classical Academy Families,
I hope everyone had a relaxing and wonderful Spring Break! I am looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow and finishing up our third quarter! We have two more weeks until the fourth quarter begins (March 29th). Prior to spring break, you should have received an email through Parent Square that requested your decision for fourth quarter learning (in-person or remote learning). This is due by March 16th. Please reach out to me with any questions regarding this process.
Due to the winter weather and the following week of repairs that the building needed, we have put in a waiver with the TEA to not have to make up these days. If our waiver is accepted, we will not have to use our bad weather day in April and/or need to extend the school year. Once I have final confirmation on if the waiver has been approved by the TEA, I will communicate that with the community.
As always, please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. Have a great rest of your break.
Best,
Kaila Baer
Headmaster
Denton Classical Academy

This Day In History: March 14, 1995 - First Time To Have 13 People In Space
On March 14, 1995, a record number of thirteen people were in space at one time. Seven of them were Americans that were on the STS 67 Endeavour, three cosmonauts were on the Mir space station, and an astronaut from the United States, along with two cosmonauts, were aboard Soyuz TM21.
Since then, we've had 13 people in space twice - March 2009 and July 2009.
