April 6th, 2020 - Kicking Off Week 3 of At-Home Learning

Wildcat Students and Families:

I am so proud of how people continue to step up to meet the demands of the moment and the needs to one another. When we talk about being better today than yesterday and better tomorrow than today, it's not just when the situation is convenient.

Here are stories of exemplary Wildcats:

Woodrow's Robocats have been serving the community by posting STEAM lessons HERE and are making face shields for health professionals. Read more and contribute HERE.
They were also featured on NBC5.

Dallas Morning News also re-ran a story featuring the best high school football players from the last 100 years and 2 Wildcats make the list, tied for most of any area school. Read the story HERE.

Meal Assistance



Just a reminded. Dallas ISD meal distribution will continue only on Thursdays in the horseshoe from 10:00 to 1:00. There will no longer be Monday distribution, but Lakepointe White Rock is a great partner and committed to helping our families. They will provide food to families at their church on Mondays from 9:00 to 11:00 AM and from 4:00 to 6:00 PM. If you would like to contribute, they collect food each Sunday from 2:00 to 5:00 PM. They are in need of the following items:
