Carroll Dragons Are Amazing

Carroll Dragon students and fans are AMAZING. I was impressed with the crowd that attended our season opener at SMU last weekend as we played Plano West in the Tom Landry Classic. Anyone who did not find themselves on their feet multiple times throughout the game because of the touchdowns, the hits to the 300 plus member mighty band, The CREW to the amazing drill team to our cheerleaders who kept us in the game and rooting the Dragons on obviously was not at the game. Just remember this Friday same game, different place (UTA) and different time (7:30). Come Green and to be loud and proud.

Please remember to come out and support our kids as they represent our school and community in all activities. Our volleyball team is 23-5 after winning the Arlington Invitational Tournament this past weekend and our tennis team is off to a good start also.

We have had a great second week of school. Parents a school letter was sent out today regarding some health related information should we be confronted with H1N1 related issues along with a welcome back to school letter. We have received several calls about how we will handle student absences that are flu related when determining exemptions. Our exemption policy is being reviewed and as information becomes available we will pass it on to our students and parents. First and foremost is the safety and well being of our students and staff.

We were notified yesterday of President Obama's live speech to school children next Tuesday on education and there have been some questions raised about how districts are handling this airing. We will not be showing the speech live and believe this a parent option to show and discuss the speech in a taped format with their child in their own homes. We will continue with the scheduled planned curriculum.

On Wednesday, September 9th we will be having our Curriculum Night and we hope you can come out and meet our teachers from 6-7:30.

Have a Super Dragon Day !
