	Correct Phone Numbers At this time of year, it is especially important to make sure the school has your correct phone numbers. In case of inclement weather you will receive an automated phone call from the school informing parents of any school cancellations or delays. Also, in case your student is sick or injured we must be able to contact parents. Please contact the school at 469-593-4300 with any new numbers, changes or additions.
