Week of 8/27/18
Hello Brave Community!
I hope that you have had a fulfilling week. I definitely have. There are such amazing things happening each
day at Double File Trail! Our teachers
continue to do an exceptional job of planning authentically engaging activities
for our student. Our goal is to provide
an exceptional teaching and learning experience for all of our Brave students.
Quote of the week:
Back to School
Night:
Please join us on Thursday,
September 6, 2018 for Back to School Night.
We will provide essential information that will help ensure a successful
year. There will be two sessions for
families with more than one student enrolled at DFT; this should allow families
to fully attend two sessions without missing parts of team/teacher presentations.
Between the two sessions there will be a
brief message from me, as well as a couple of introductions. The schedule we will follow is:
Session I: 6:15-6:45 p.m.
Message from Principal Britton:
6:50-7:00 p.m. in the Cafeteria
Session II: 7:00-7:30 p.m.
School Report
Card/Distinction:
Our school report card is out. To view it click here. While there is always room for improvement,
we did well. As a matter of fact, we
earned our first distinction from the Texas Education Agency (TEA)! We earned our distinction for being in the
Top 25% of our comparison group in Academic Growth. This is a huge honor!
Coffee and
Conversation:
Please join me for my first Coffee
and Conversation with parents on Friday, September 7, 2018. I am very much interested in getting to know
you, as well providing an opportunity for you to get to know me. We will begin immediately following
announcements at 7:45 a.m.
Site-Based Advisory
Committee:
We have established our SBAC but
will gladly welcome additional members.
This committee is comprised of administrators, teachers, parents,
community members and business members.
We meet four times each year with a goal of continuous school
improvement. In our meetings, we discuss
the Campus Improvement Plan (CIP), campus initiatives and any other focus areas
for the school year. Our first meeting
is September 24, 2018.

their ability to achieve excellence in education. I want to partner with you to
make this happen. Please don’t hesitate
to reach out to me or any member of my team in support of your child’s
education. We are ALL here to support
