Mission

The mission of George Bannerman Dealey is to provide an exemplary education that develops and empowers all students to become productive citizens in our global society.

We are now beginning the third week of the 2nd Nine Weeks grading period. Special Thank You to the Dealey PTA and Community for throwing our Fall Festival this past Saturday! This week is Red Ribbon Week (see flyer below) and National Bullying Month events including Ellie the Elephant. (see Elementary Counselor's Corner below for more info)

Dealey Fall Parent Conferences

This week will be Fall parent conferences. Please keep in mind the district has made changes to the parent conference teacher requirements. This year, the parent conference structure is built on flexibility for teachers and families. We have created a listing of all teacher emails, Zoom links, and Sign Up Genius links, etc.. If a teacher is missing information, please email them directly to schedule your conference. Additionally, some teachers will be here on Tuesday night. The building will be open on Tuesday, October 24, 2023 from 4:30 pm -7:30 pm. Check the link to see when and how you can conference with your child's teacher.

This month is National Bullying Prevention Month. In place of my monthly classroom visit, there are organized educational activities planned.

• On Tuesday, October 24th, students in grades 1-5 will experience an interactive lunch to discuss bullying, conflict, healthy boundaries, and creating a safe environment for all. This will be led by Ms. Morales and Mrs. Burts, Mental Health Clinician during each assigned lunch period.

• On Thursday, October 26th, students in grades PK-5 will have the opportunity to experience a special presentation about “Ellie the Elephant.” This 30–minute presentation is about kindness to humans and animals, sharing the meaning of empathy, and how it’s never OK to bully anyone despite our differences!

• On Friday, October 27th, let’s join to make a powerful and united statement.

Each student and staff member are encouraged to write a positive or encouraging anti-bullying message on a sticky note and add to the “Unity” board located in the cafeteria.

Working Together: Kindness, Acceptance, Inclusion
