Dr. John Woodall SPARK Presentation

Happy summer, if you are in town please join us this Thursday to meet and hear Dr. John Woodall. Dr. Woodall is from Newtown, Connecticut and will lend his perspective to what happened in his own community as well as his world-wide work on trying to get children engaged and connected to prevent future tragedies that seem to have become to much a part of our world. This is an incredible opportunity for our Southlake Community!

We hope to see you this Thursday night, 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM, on the third floor of Southlake Town Hall.

Game Over Canceled

Carroll High Parents & Staff,

By now you may have heard about the shooting that occurred at Town Square this evening. While we don't have a lot of details, we know that at least one male adult from Southlake died as a result of the tragic events that unfolded. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family during this terrible time, as well as to our local law enforcement officers who are handling the investigation.

In light of this unprecedented event in our community, Carroll ISD and city officials have made the decision to cancel the Game Over mock car crash event scheduled at Carroll High School tomorrow. CISD and Southlake DPS mutually agree it is not in the best interest of our students to move forward with this emotionally impactful drug and alcohol program at this time. We also do not want to pull city resources away from the handling of this tragic event in our community.

The Game Over program has a powerful message and we hope to perhaps reschedule in the fall. We appreciate the time and effort that has gone in to the organization and planning of Game Over, but we just believe that our students would be better served with a normal routine tomorrow. It's been a difficult year on many fronts and we do not want to add to the anxiousness of students who might have heard about tonight's shooting in Southlake. As always, our amazing school counselors will be available at all CISD campuses should any students need them tomorrow.

Thanks for your understanding as we work to serve the teen students of CISD.

EOC Begins at CHS

Our EOC testing starts tomorrow. We have greatest belief our DRAGONS will do wonderful. Great work all year = Great Results Now!

EOC on Horizon

Please remember April 1, 2013 through April 4, 2013 are our spring days for EOC testing for English Language Arts 2012-2013. This is a graduate level test for all students as we have discussed throughout the year and we expect our students, with effort, will be successful.

We have a unique situation on this campus because each day half of our students will be reporting to CHS at a delayed time. Freshmen will test on Monday and Tuesday and Sophomores will test on Wednesday and Thursday. If a student arrives at their usual reporting time and they're not testing, he/she will have the opportunity to study or read in the gymnasium. Buses will run on their regular schedule and four and a half hours later for the late arrival.

CHS will maintain a schedule after testing with all four classes meeting during the last 2 hours with the exception of no shuttle buses running to CSHS. We will not release a student during testing for appointments and encourage all students to be here the entire day for all classes and funding purpose.

If you have questions please feel free to contact CHS.

Dragon Tribune #5 Posted

In this most recent launch I recommend you spend a moment tuning into the mind of a senior turning to Ben & Jerry’s for comfort on Valentine’s Day, a story about learning to budget written by a senior providing guidance to next year’s freshmen, an editorial about cursive being eliminated from the curriculum at some elementary schools, or the story about National Charity League.

The Dragon Tribune is amazing and something to read regularly.

Dragon Hockey in the Playoffs

The Varsity Hockey team needs it's noise-making, green-wearing, poster-waving fans Monday night at the first playoff game in their run for the state title.

With a third place finish in the West Division, the Dragon Varsity hockey team will compete in the Gold Playoffs, beginning Monday night at 8:30 at the Dr Pepper Stars Center in Euless ...(1400 S. Pipeline.) The first game pits the Dragons against the Highland Park Scots. At their last meeting, on January 23, the Dragons beat the Scots 5-1.

Should the Dragons win Monday night, they will face West Division leader, Jesuit on Tuesday at 9:00 in McKinney (6993 Stars Way.) The winner of that game will play for the championship on Thursday night (3/7) at 8:15 in Farmer's Branch (12700 N. Stemmons.) Admission to all games is free and we'd love to see our DRAGONS out in full force.
