On Monday, nearly 25,000 students began the 2012-2013 school year in the Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District. And next Tuesday, we expect to reach over 26,000 students when our Pre-kindergarten students start school. This has been a great start of school and I am confident that we will reach our goal of high achievement for all students.
Did you know?
- This week, our employees welcomed all our smiling faces to school, helped wipe the tears of the moms and dads dropping off their kindergartners, made sure our facilities were in perfect condition, prepared delicious food, and helped enroll our new students. Our 3,000 employees are the best! They are committed to our students and our goal.
- We hired over 200 new educators for this school year. And I believe this is our best recruiting class ever.
- When school started this year, the 500 students at Good Elementary School walked into a brand new 82,000 square foot building. The original building was built in 1957 and had several renovations. The new building was built last year adjacent to the old building. Over the summer the old building was completely demolished and replaced with a new parking lot and landscaping.
- Through Dallas County Schools, our 110 buses transported over 3,750 students a day traveling 1.2 million miles during the year. Thank you to our great bus drivers!
- Our phenomenal Student Nutrition department serves over 4,400 nutritious breakfasts and 15,850 nutritious lunches per day. This year, we launched four restaurants in each of our high schools. Our students have excellent choices for healthy meals. Find out more on our new blog called Food for Thought.
