Dawson Dictionary

From the Principal

I would like to welcome you to the Dawson Elementary School website. I am so excited to be the Principal here at the "best" elementary school. We are committed to providing quality opportunities for all students to obtain the knowledge and skills needed to live, work, and contribute to an ever-changing society.
 
Traffic continues to be a concern at Dawson. The CCISD police department has made note of several areas of concern. One area of focus was the front driveway and the failure of drivers to comply with the right turn only. Many drivers are continuing to make a left turn out of this driveway which, in turn, backs up the traffic in the driveway. An additional concern raised by the CCISD police department was the left hand turns made into the front drive and the horse shoe area. It was noted that crossing the solid double-yellow line when making left hand turns into the parking lot is illegal. There is debate about the interpretation of the law regarding this matter. More information will follow as clarification is given. Other suggestions were given regarding bus pick up and drop off, dismissal, and traffic adjustments. The procedures in accordance with the law and the safety of our students. I will keep you abreast of any and all changes as they occur.  Please drive safely.
