Hello Bradfield Families!

Students and staff enjoyed the first week back after the holidays. During professional development, the staff focused on how to support constructive responses and academic vocabulary throughout all areas on campus. I challenged students during the month of January to use “may I” when asking for permission instead of “can I.” As you know, “may I” refers to asking permission and “can I” refers to the ability to do something. I encourage you to compliment your children as they form good grammar habits. 

January is School Board Recognition Month, and HPISD joins districts across the state of Texas in thanking its Trustees for the countless hours they voluntarily contribute every month to support our staff, students and community.

These seven individuals are critical to the success of students. Thank you to our trustees who serve the Highland Park ISD students, staff, parents and community. I invite you to take time this month to express gratitude to our trustees for their service. Click here to learn more about our HPISD trustees.

The Highland Park ISD ELA Family Curriculum Guide website has been updated. An overview of the English Language Arts (ELA) material students in grades K-8 will learn during the third nine-week grading period has been added to the curriculum guide website. (The fourth grading period information is being developed and will be added to the site once it is completed.) The information also offers steps families can take at home to support their students' academic growth.

Attention all in-coming Kindergarten parents. ABPA & Armstrong/Bradfield Principals will be hosting a Kindergarten Readiness Meeting, Thursday, January 26 at 9:30AM in the Armstrong Auditorium. Click here for more information.

I look forward to seeing you and your children at the front door!

What is All-School Book Club?

All Bradfield students will read the same book at home with their families, with the goal of building a community of readers at Bradfield. Each morning, students will answer daily trivia questions from the previous night’s reading. Be sure to look for your book and a letter from Principal Dumar in your child’s backpack on January 9^th. Thank you to the Bradfield PTA and Dads Club for sponsoring All-School Book Club!
