Week of 12.16.19


Hello Brave Community! 

Happy Monday Evening!  I hope that you had an enjoyable weekend! This is a short week of learning.  Our students will start their Winter Break on Thursday, 12/19 at 2:55 pm!  They will be out of school for more than two weeks.  During the break encourage your student to cozy up with a favorite book or even sharpen their math skills by logging in to DreamBox.  We will welcome all of our BRAVE students back bright and early on Wednesday, January 8, 2020 to resume an exceptional teaching and learning experience!

As a Leader in Me campus, we highlight one of the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People each month.  Our habit of the month this month is Habit 3: Put First Things First!   We teach our students to prioritize and spend time on things that are most important.

Word of the Week (WOW):
This week’s word is “FESTIVE”.  It is an adjective that means cheerful and joyful during a celebration.  Partner with us in focusing on our campus WOW.  Ask your student to use the word in a sentence or perhaps you could be very intentional in your use of our word.  Thanks for your participation!

Looking Ahead:
Upcoming Library Nights: 12/17
Tuesday, 12/17: DFT UIL Event!
Thursday, 12/19: Holiday parties, beginning at 1:30 pm!
Friday, 12/20/19- Tuesday, 1/7/20: Winter Break!
Wednesday, 1/8/20: Students return from Winter Break!

Quote of the Month:
“The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery.”  Mark Van Doren

My Belief:
I consider it a privilege and a blessing to serve the Double File Trail Elementary Community as the principal.  I believe in our students and 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 and encourage our students to BE BRAVE, CHOOSE KIND and LEAD ON!
