Big congratulations to Team Buggie-Bara for earning 1st place in today’s QBEC GT Divisional Competition, where they faced off against other top teams in the area! With the competition focused on a bug theme, they truly out-smarted the rest of the swarm with their creativity, teamwork, and determination. On to the finals!

Dear Parents,
All seven Parkland-area schools in the Northeast will reopen and resume classes on Tuesday, Jan. 13 - this includes Parkland Pre-K Center, Desertaire Elementary, Dolphin Terrace Elementary, North Star Elementary, Parkland Elementary, Parkland Middle School, and Parkland High School. To help keep everyone safe and comfortable at those campuses, water fountains will be blocked off and unavailable for use, and sinks will be covered to prevent handwashing. Instead, hand sanitizer will be made available at our Northeast campuses, where students and staff will also be provided with plenty of bottled water to stay hydrated throughout the day. Parkland-area schools will operate under the Boil Notice until lifted by El Paso Water. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we continue working to ensure our campuses remain safe and ready for learning.
