Douglass Elementary

📢 El Paso ISD students, teachers, and parents are invited to take our anonymous Cell Phone Policy Survey. 📲

The Texas Legislature recently passed a law requiring school districts to implement a cell phone policy. As a result, El Paso ISD adopted its new policy this school year.

Your valued input helps us understand how the policy affects teaching, learning, and the overall school environment. 🏫📝

Please check your email on Monday, Sept. 29, for your survey link. Thank you for being part of the conversation! 🌟

👟✨ At Douglass Elementary, it is about more than shoes, it was about dignity, confidence, and the reminder that our children are deeply loved and believed in. Thanks to Operation Warm and Marshalls/TJMAXX, our every Dragons received brand new shoes and socks. But what mattered most was what they said: 💬 “The best day of my life.” 💬 “My shoes are broken and I needed new shoes. Me and all my class are happy — and my mom too.” 💬 “Thank you for the shoes and socks. This means a lot to me and my parents.” As their principal, I will never forget the joy in their eyes. New shoes gave them more than comfort — they gave our children the confidence to walk proudly, the dignity to feel seen, and the belief that they can step boldly into their future. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, Operation Warm and Marshalls/TJMAXX, for walking alongside our students and families. Together, you gave them more than shoes — you gave them hope. Thank you for choosing us! 💚🤍🐉 Official El Paso Independent School District Texas Elementary Principals & Supervisors Association Douglass Elementary, El Paso, Texas Operation Warm The Holdsworth Center TJ Maxx Marshalls #itstartswithus#DouglassDragons #GameChangers #PlayTheGame
