Welcome back to a new and exciting school year! Year after year we have seen growth and success and we will continue to do so as we enter the 2022-23 school year. One of my beliefs is that being incredible “does not just happen.” It happens because of what exists on this campus, we have the BEST and BRIGHTEST learners, SKILLED, PASSIONATE, CARING teachers and staff, SUPPORTIVE parents, and an entire school community working TOGETHER for the same goal. 

I sincerely appreciate your involvement in your child’s education and encourage you to join School Advisory Council (SAC), or School Advisory Forum (SAF). These are important organizations that make our school programs successful and provide you with the opportunity to give input in school decisions. We need your support!  In addition, we would love for you to become a school volunteer.  Please complete the volunteer application at browardschools.com/volunteerapplication. 

We are excited to continue Dillard Excellence with our Debate Team.  We are also starting three new clubs, Play Pals, Gardening, and Walking & Health. Most importantly we will continue the OUTSTANDING teaching, caring, and learning that goes on every day at the Dillard! 

We are continuing our school-wide theme of Embarking On A Learning Journey Through A Book.  As a school, we will focus on the book, “I Promise”, by Lebron James.  Each morning, our scholars will recite the following promise from the book: 

I Promise 

To go to school 

To do all of my homework 

To listen to my teachers because they will help me learn 

To ask questions and find answers 

To never give up, no matter what 

To always try my best 

To be helpful and respectful to others 

To live a healthy life by eating right and being active 

To make good choices for myself 

To have fun 

And above all else, to finish school 

Parents, please review this promise with your child every day.  Help them to memorize it as these words are extremely POWERFUL! Please feel free to contact me if you have a need! Your communication and feedback help to make our school the success that it is! Thanks in advance for your partnership!
