Charger Corral - Sales
Open for parents during Orientation
As the manager of the Shelton Corral, I would like to invite you to shop our store, open each school day during morning and afternoon carpool. We have t-shirts, sweatshirts (our best selling category because the school can get cold and the sweatshirts are approved to wear during class) and various school supplies and spirit items.
For parents attending orientation the night of August 21st, or the afternoon of August 22nd for Meet the Teacher, the Charger Corral will be open for your convenience - come in and shop, we have lots of new items and the new sweatshirts are available! See some of the new items using the full story link.
Go Chargers!

Get to Know the Staff . . . Mr. Robert Baxter
 Whether you are a new parent or a returning parent, one of the first Shelton staff members you need to introduce yourself to is Mr. Robert Baxter. He provides security for Shelton, and is a native Dallasite.
His job is to meet parents who enter the school every day and get them to stop by and say hi, give them a name tag, and record their visit - easy for him - NO WAY! That is only one of the hundreds of things he does every day.

Charger Spirit

Locke's Locker
Welcome Sports Fans... START YOUR CARPOOLS:
I hope the weather, the price of gas, the election, or the kids... didn't drive anyone crazy this summer. I have rented hundreds of golf balls from area courses. Some lasted several rounds, but most of them are now selling for half price in a pro shop near you.
