Erika Hemphill - Director

In order for us to have school safely, anyone with symptoms of any illness must remain at home. Please monitor your child's health and the persons in your student's household to ensure that measles, RSV, flu, COVID, and other illnesses are not introduced into our buildings. Vaccines are free or low cost through the Dallas County Health Dept. and are the most effective way to prevent the spread of illness. Please take advantage of available resources and follow the guidance of your physician, the local health departments and the CDC to ensure the health and safety of your family and our school.
