José López 🤗 🦅Early Childhood Center Principal My WHY as a campus leader is my belief in teachers and students. Every teacher has the capacity to make a positive impact on students, leading them toward success, just like every student has the potential to be successful. The magic that happens when you combine the talent that teachers and students have is what gives purpose to my role as campus principal. Mr. López has been a principal for the past two years and has served in education for total of 19 years. Celia Sanchez 🤗 🦅East Grand Preparatory Executive Principal My WHY is to educate all scholars, regardless of their socioeconomic background, ethnicity or native language. As educators our mission is to lead students to their greatest potential on their path to college, while nurturing their social and emotional aspirations. Ms. Sanchez has been a campus principal for 7 years, and a total of 15 as an educator. Clarencia Wade 🤗 🦁Buckner Preparatory Principal My WHY is the desire to ensure the academic and social-emotional success of our students, while also instilling a love for teaching and learning within our teachers and staff. I enjoy working in education and it is my hope to continue to strive to lead and revolutionize a system, a way of thinking, and a way of educating that promotes academic success and greatness that extends beyond the classroom walls.

Superintendent letter about Safety and Uvalde

  • Post published:May 26, 2022
  • Reading time:4 mins read

May 26, 2022 As I stated yesterday, we are all deeply saddened concerning the senseless loss of life in Uvalde, Texas. Again, our collective thoughts and prayers are with our fellow Texans who experienced such a horrible tragedy.  Schools should be safe havens in our communities; a place where our students and educators collaborate, grow, and learn. And because it needs to be repeated:  keeping our students safe is our top priority.  Therefore, Cityscape Schools will have an increased security presence at both campuses for the remainder of the school year with off-duty Dallas police officers patrolling inside and outside the buildings intermittently throughout the school day.  I know our Cityscape family stands united in protecting our children as best we can from such senseless violence. May 25, 2022 As soon as I saw the heartbreaking news begin to unfold yesterday from Uvalde, Texas, my heart broke for that school district and community as the unimaginable became a sad reality. It has taken a little bit of time for me to be able to gather my thoughts and reach out to each of you to discuss this tragedy and what it means for us at Cityscape Schools. First and foremost, I want to emphasize that Cityscape joins with all school districts across our state and nation in extending sincere condolences to all those affected by these catastrophic events. Clearly, the effects of such an occurrence will be felt right here at home and many may feel a heightened concern about school safety within the Cityscape community. The school counselor and administrators stand ready to respond to the needs of students, parents and staff. If your child needs support processing what…

Congratulations to the district’s FIRST TIA designations

  • Post published:April 1, 2022

Cityscape Schools congratulates our first two recipients of the Teacher Incentive Allotment designations and looks forward to more teachers being recognized next year.   Ms. Kimberly Novoa – Buckner Preparatory – Exemplary designation     Ms. Gabriela Espinosa – East Grand Preparatory – Recognized designation   About the Teacher Incentive Allotment  On June 2019, the 86th Texas Legislature passed House Bill 3 (HB3), which was signed into law by Governor Abbott, establishing the optional Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA) program. TIA is a Texas Education Agency program, “dedicated to recruiting, supporting, and retaining highly effective teachers in all schools, with particular emphasis on high-needs and rural schools” (Texas Education Agency, 2019).    Why TIA?  Because of its positive impact on both recruitment and retention of high-performing teachers. Two goals of the TIA are to provide incentive pay to highly effective teachers and to attract and retain effective teachers, especially in rural and high-poverty level schools.     In the fall of 2019, superintendent Leonard Brannon formed an exploratory committee to study a new program from the Texas Education Agency (TEA) titled, the Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA). After the exploratory committee’s approval to proceed, Mr. Brannon invited the members of the committee to present their findings to the district’s board of directors in January 2020. The board unanimously approved the district to develop an official teacher incentive program and make an application with TEA at the appropriate time.     In the summer of 2020, the district was accepted into the TIA program (Cohort C) and began collecting data to be analyzed in the summer of 2021.  After data was analyzed (fall of 2021), the district submitted two teachers to be designated as one of the three TIA designations: …
