Dash for the Beads
The annual Oak Cliff Dash for the Beads 1 Mile (walk), 5k and 10k Race and Festival is Saturday, February 22 at Kidd Springs Park!

We are looking to get a group of students, teachers, parents and TKS supporters to come out that day to show their support for TKS and the event. We also need parent volunteers to work the TKS table. If interested, contact Bruce Begor. 

Discount codes:
  • Kids entering the 1-mile walk will be entered for free (use offer code DFBKID)
  • For general public (e.g. parents, friends and supporters) there is a 20% off code (DASHLOVE) that is good through 2/14/2020.

New TKS Procedures
For school safety and to avoid class disruption, we will be practicing these new procedures.
  • Student Item Drop Off:
    For parents dropping off items (e.g. lunches, backpacks, homework, etc.) for students between 8AM-3PM, please leave the item with the front desk person and it will be delivered to your child. No need to go upstairs. 

  • Early Pick-Up:
    Parents who need to pick up students before dismissal (for appointments, family travel, etc.) will sign the student out and wait at the front desk for the child to be called down to meet them. If you inform the teacher ahead of time, he/she can have the students prepared for a speedier pick up.
