Celebration of Diverse Cultures!
Letter from Principal Deana White
Our teachers and staff are here to lovingly welcome our Heroes back for the 20-21 school year! Together, we are a family #DRIVEN by Safety, Grit, Equity and Resilience!
We are so happy you have chosen to send your child to learn at Purple Heart Elementary in SISD, Home of Endless Opportunities. Virtual Learning begins Monday, August 17, 2020, from 7:45 AM-2:45 PM.
We have a beautiful LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Certified Campus built to foster Project-Based Learning, collaboration, and use of educational technology. Join us in celebrating this year's Purple Heart theme: Hero Strong! Together we will embrace all changes and challenges ahead of us, meeting them with flexibility, resilience, and ingenuity!
Please know, the safety of our staff and scholars is our number one priority. We have been preparing our building with social distancing measures and safety procedures to ensure we follow all health and safety guidelines. We will be sharing this information prior to our scholars' return.
As we embark on this unprecedented journey together, we are committed to ensuring EVERY scholar has access to safe, quality learning experiences! We will achieve this goal through wellness protocols, assurance that all families have access to educational technology, and a commitment that our staff is prepared to meet all of our students' needs!
I wish your family safety, wellness, and a year of Hero Spirit! At Purple Heart, we are Strong. #HeroSTRONG!
