• Information for Parents/Families:

    • 91ÊÓƵ³ÉÈËÍøÕ¾ must accelerate the merging of the David E. Smith and W.T. Francisco elementary schools two years earlier than first expected. All students zoned to these two campuses will attend David E. Smith Elementary (on the current Francisco Elementary site) beginning with the 2023–24 school year. 

    • The change resulted after a topographical survey revealed the new school approved by voters in the 2022 bond program cannot be built behind the original campus as first planned due to potential flooding of neighboring properties. 

    • David E. Smith Elementary Principal Amanda Holman will serve as principal for the newly merged school community on the site of the current Francisco Elementary School. 

    • Transportation will continue to be provided for all qualifying Special Education students. 

    • No staff will lose their jobs as a result of this early merger. Some staff may be assigned to a different campus for the 2023–24 school year.  

    • Principal Angela Limon of W.T. Francisco is replacing the retiring principal at the Academy at C.F. Thomas Elementary for the 2023–24 school year. 

    • 91ÊÓƵ³ÉÈËÍøÕ¾ is planning a celebration event at the current Smith Elementary campus later this spring to allow the community and alumni the opportunity to walk the halls one last time. We will share more details once they are available. 

    • 91ÊÓƵ³ÉÈËÍøÕ¾ has planned a joint community meeting to share more details.  

      • Monday, March 27 at Haltom Middle School, 5001 Hutchison Way, Haltom City at 6:30 p.m.
