Recruiting Seminar

In lieu of the March 5 Carroll Athletic Booster Club meeting, CISD will once again have Jack Renkins in town for the Recruiting Realities Seminar.

We would like to invite all 7th-12th CISD student-athletes and their parents to attend the seminar. Mr. Renkins does a great job explaining the recruiting process and every individuals role in the process. The entire presentation lasts one hour.

The tentative start time on the seminar is 7:00 PM, if the timeline changes we will provide updated information.

Special Education PTO

The first official meeting for the new CISD Special Education PTO will be this Thursday in the Carroll Elementary library at 10:30 am.

We look forward to partnering with all families choosing to participate.

Email Concerns

Carroll ISD continues to have trouble with inbound and outbound external emails. Correspondences we are sending outside the district or those that we are trying to receive from someone outside the district are not going through.

We've been notified that it will likely be another 24 hours without external email service while we wait for a part to be delivered and installed. Please plan accordingly.

Dragon Sympathy

We are sad to inform our Dragon community of the death of Aaron Anderson. His sister Kelley, is a sophomore at Carroll High School and a member of our tennis team. Aaron is the son of Eubanks Intermediate School teacher Kim Anderson and Grant Anderson, a former CISD employee who now works at the Region XI Education Service Center. Aaron, a Carroll graduate from the class of 2010, was involved in an automobile accident in Wisconsin where he worked and attended college.

Our trained CISD counseling team will be available to assist employees and students at each campus as needed and for as long as they are needed. We do not have information yet on funeral arrangements, but will share details with our community as it becomes available.

Our sympathy is with the Andersons during this very difficult time. We appreciate your care and support for all those in the Dragon family affected by this tragedy.

Transition College Fair

CISD's sixth college transition fair is scheduled for January 31st, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the CSHS student activities center.  We have a great key note speaker attending from the Office of Disability Accomodations at UNT and a wonderful array of colleges attending.  This is an event that every one of our students, parents, teachers, and counselors don't want to miss. We look forward to seeing all Dragons at the event.

State Champions 2011

Congratulations to the Dragon Football team, the staff, and kids have completed an amazing 16-0 season. The Dragons capped the season undefeated with a 36-29 win over Fort Bend Hightower and our 8th State Championship. These young men have definitely Protected the Tradition way to play as a TEAM.

Dragon Tribune Up for Holiday Edition

Students in grades 9-12 present some enjoyable reading for your holidays.  Choose from stories about a new trampoline park opening in Southlake, a review of our city’s best burgers, a story about one of our non-coffee drinking students becoming a part-time Barista’s Apprentice and a feature story about Glenn Brasher who you’ve no doubt seen on the sidelines of every Dragon football game in recent memory. And, of course, there’s much more.

State Notices

The letter below was posted by Coach Ozee in regard to the State Championship game:

...do not for any reason park in the Wal-Mart parking lot. It seems that last week at the 3A game someone was dressed as a parking attendant and directed traffic into the Wal-Mart lot. Many cars were towed. Even if the parking attendant appears legitimate, don’t fall for it. Please see the parking advisory below from the City of Arlington. Also, please allow yourself plenty of time to park and exit the stadium as we are expecting huge crowds for all three games.


CISD will be on the North side of Cowboys Stadium. This is the Randol Mill Rd. side of the stadium. Aledo is the 12:00pm game and is also on the North side.

As I mentioned at booster club last Monday, the UIL and Cowboys Stadium controls every aspect of the operations for Saturday’s games. The security in and around the stadium will be increased as large crowds are expected.


If you have any questions regarding Saturday, feel free to shoot me an email at kevin.ozee@southlakecarroll.edu and either myself or one of our staff members will try to find an answer for you as soon as possible.

Take care and see you Saturday,


KO

Holiday Happenings

We had the wonderful opportunity to meet with a couple of families this morning asking about providing some holiday decorations to the CHS office. Before accepting these decorations we felt it would be appropriate to mention this for our entire school community.

If you have holiday decorations and would like to provide these to CHS during the upcoming or current holiday season we'd love to accept them. Please feel free to bring them to CHS at your convenience. If there are specifics for our using them please let us know as we want to honor each part of our community and all cultural needs.

Chinese Video Posted

Please take a moment to see our Mandarin class video. The video is posted for a competition they won last year. It's amazing to see what our kids can do when given the freedom to try.
