Principals and GEAR UP Coordinators spent two meaningful days at the Building Leadership Institute Summer 2026, learning, collaborating, and strengthening our commitment to student success.

The theme, “Empowering Educators for Student Success,” reminds us that when we grow as leaders, we create stronger opportunities for our students. These two days gave us time to reflect, plan, and align our work so we can continue building systems that support students academically, socially, and emotionally.

We are grateful for the opportunity to learn together and return to our campuses with renewed purpose, stronger partnerships, and a shared commitment to helping every student succeed.

🌟 Texas ACE Summer Learning in Action! 🌟

Students from Perez Elementary, Burns Elementary, and Paredes Elementary enjoyed an exciting day filled with hands-on learning and creativity. Using their science knowledge, students designed and created LED light-up cards while exploring the basics of circuits and electricity. Others had fun making their own marshmallow ice cream cones, combining creativity with a tasty summer treat.

Students also investigated the unique properties of matter through an engaging Oobleck activity, discovering how this fascinating substance can act like both a liquid and a solid.

Learning, exploration, and fun continue to make our Texas ACE Summer Program a memorable experience for all! 💡🍦🧪✨
