Online Survey for Parents of Secondary Students
For the past several years, we have annually asked for input from parents of elementary aged students through a paper survey sent home with students. From time to time, we have also conducted random sampled phone surveys of secondary parents. This year, we would like to expand the annual input received by including the parents of secondary students with the same survey used for the parents with elementary students but just in an online format.
We value your input and we request that you take a few moments to answer this short survey about your child's secondary campus. We will use your input to help us evaluate the effectiveness of our programs, campuses and the district.
Thank you in advance for giving us your input through this short survey.

Las Colinas Student Featured on My Fox DFW - Hometown Hero: Fuzzils
From MyFoxDFW:
Clarice Tinsley’s Hometown Hero this week is an 11-year-old Irving girl who created the Fuzzil to raise money for her school library.
What is a Fuzzil? It is a wild and furry pencil topper with plastic eyes that wiggle. And it was the must have item this year at Las Colinas Elementary School.
Fifth grader Zoe Venglarik created the creatures and sold them each for $1 in order to raise money to buy new library books.
Everyone from kindergarteners all the way up to the fifth graders bought them like crazy. At last count, Venglarik had raised $1,034 by selling her pink, white, black, green, brown and even leopard print Fuzzils.
The money should help the library buy 75 to 100 books; that’s a huge gift and a big deal in this time of state school budget cuts.
Venglarik said she got the idea for her venture after taking an international baccalaureate class and learning about the impact of literature on people’s lives. Plus she loves books and wants to pass that love on.
Even though next year she’ll move to a new school and won’t be around to read all the new books, she said countless other children who attend Las Colinas Elementary will for years to come.

Country Place Elementary Debuts New Cloud Terminals
To save costs on computers, secretaries and teachers at Country Place Elementary are now using terminals that access applications and files "in the cloud" (on the Internet) in lieu of using a hard drive. All of the contents of the device, including an optical drive, are contained in the flat-panel display.
Instead of replacing aging computers every 3 years, these terminals will likely only need replacing every decade, and come at a far smaller price point than a traditional computer.
