I just received a text from My Boy Elroy that said Highland Park High School has been without power for nearly two hours.  Unfortunately, he says, classes are still being conducted  – although you know those kids are dying to get out and have a massive snowball fight.  Power at Highland Park Village and surrounding streets was out at 10:00 a.m. but I’m at The Crescent now so I don’t have a status update.
I hope Lover’s Pizza is delivering today.

UPDATE: HPHS Power is back on.

Founded in 1972, Tyler Street Christian Academy serves families from all over the metroplex providing a challenging, Christian, college-preparatory education for children from preschool through the twelfth grade.
Faith, Excellence, Innovation, Service and Integrity are the core values of a TSCA education.

Accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), the mission of Tyler Street is to provide students with a competitive college preparatory experience while developing Christ-like character in each and every child enrolled at the Academy.

Supporting a diverse culture of students from neighborhoods all around Dallas, the school is led by degreed and certified Christian teachers committed to providing the best education for your child.

Learning differences (LD) affect about one person in seven.   When Dallas families believe their children could be among this number, they turn to Shelton, the largest private school worldwide serving intelligent children with learning differences.  The school is a recognized leader in LD education serving students EC – Grade 12.

Dyslexia, ADHD, and speech and language disorders are only some of the learning differences that bring students to Shelton.  Because LD students can have a difficult time in a traditional classroom, their chance for success may be limited.  Shelton’s individualized, structured, multisensory program designed specifically for LD students helps build the skills to successfully further a student’s education.  The school also offers a full array of extra-curricular activities, from sports to fine arts.  Shelton has been the turning point for thousands of students.  They succeed and thrive!

Shelton combines a strong academic curriculum with a nurturing family atmosphere that considers the physical, intellectual, emotional, and social growth of each student.  Shelton’s niche is providing positive, practical solutions to the problems of LD students.  Whether students leave Shelton to return to a mainstream classroom or head to college, they are prepared and ready for the next challenge.

Shelton also has a speech / language / hearing clinic, an evaluation center, and an outreach center, all open to the community.  Shelton provides extensive training for professionals and collaborates with UT Southwestern Medical School and UTD’s Center for BrainHealth on major research projects.

Shelton is accredited by Independent Schools Association of the Southwest.
