In-Person, On-Campus Welcome and Information

  Hello, Brave Community!

 

We are excited to WELCOME many of our students to campus tomorrow for in-person learning.  See below for a couple of reminders.

 

School Hours:

Elementary School – 7:40 a.m. to 2:55 p.m.

Our doors open at 7:10 a.m.

 

Before school health screening - Each day before school, please conduct a COVID-19 symptom assessment. Please do not send your child to school if they have any symptoms that they are ill.

 

Devices (Chromebook, laptop, or tablet) – If we issued a RRISD District device to your student, please have them bring it daily, fully charged. If your student does not have a device, please do not worry; we will issue one to him/her.

 

Face coverings - Students and staff are expected to wear clean face coverings during school hours. Please inform your student that they need to keep their face coverings on while at school to protect themselves and the health of others.

  

Meals - Breakfast and lunch service is available. Students can help streamline lunch transactions by memorizing their 6-digit student ID or consider bringing meals from home. Visit the Food Services website to view menus, add funds to your student’s meal account or apply for free and reduced meal benefits.

 

Supplies - Backpacks and supplies should be sanitized each day before returning to school. Discuss with your student the importance of not sharing supplies.  Hand sanitizer and other cleaning supplies will be available. If students prefer, they may bring their own hand sanitizer.

 

First Day Pictures – Don’t forget to take first day (of in-person learning) pictures.  We’d love for you to share them with us.  Feel free to email them to your child’s teacher or directly to our yearbook coordinator at danni@dftpta.org!

 

Virtual Learning Pictures –We’d love for you to share them with us as well.  Feel free to email them to your child’s teacher or directly to our yearbook coordinator at danni@dftpta.org!

 

Please stay connected with us by visiting the Round Rock ISD website, by following the District’s Facebook and Twitter and visiting our Reimagining Education webpage.

 

Lastly, please know that you are welcome to contact me at alifia_britton@roundrockisd.org with any questions or concerns that surface. Thank you in advance for teaming with us as we navigate this new school year to support our students.  Stay healthy! Stay well! RRISD Strong! DFT Strong!

   

Grateful and hopeful,

Alifia Britton, Proud Principal of Double File Trail Elementary

Hello Brave Community!  Happy Friday! Today was an amazing day filled with tons of teaching and learning. We ended our day with the excitement of Brave Hour!  Students were gardening, creating visual art, planning a stage play, playing checkers/chess and so much more. During Brave Hour every student must have a purpose. Consider asking your student how he or she spent Brave Hour, and more specifically what his or her purpose was today. I think you might be pleasantly surprised with the response you receive from your BRAVE leader.  As a Leader in Me campus, we highlight one of the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People each month.  Our habit of the month for March is Habit 6: Synergize!   We teach our students the importance and benefit of teamwork. We highlight and model how to work well with others!

  Hello Brave Community!  Happy Tuesday! I hope that you all had a delightful and restful Thanksgiving Break! I enjoyed time with my family, as well as some really tasty food! I am also enjoying the cooler weather. On that note, please accept my reminder to send your child to school each day that it is cold or even cool outside with a coat or jacket.  If your child does not own a coat or a jacket and you need our help providing one, please contact our lead counselor at clarissa_hollenshead@roundrockisd.org. As a Leader in Me campus, we highlight one of the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People each month.  Our habit of the month for November is Habit 3: Put First Things First!   We teach our students to prioritize and spend time on things that are most important.
