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.

Greetings Dealey Community!

Welcome to 2025 and back to campus! 🎉

I hope you all had a healthy, restful, and joyous holiday vacation! Thank you for all of the gifts , love and goodies you gave the staff during the holidays. We appreciate you all! Today was the staff's first day back to campus. It was very good to see them preparing for our students in the morning. We are so excited to see our Dealey dragons tomorrow!

A new year is a new opportunity to reflect and reset our mindsets. This semester our campus SEL focus is on the peace that comes from being focused on the present moment. We are all committed to mastering this mindfulness goal and improving our social emotional health on campus. Before we set goals and make plans, let's all focus on the "Now". Everyday we have a new "Now" to master & enjoy. We look forward to encouraging our students to live in the "Now" as they set a firm foundation for healthy living.

Thank you for your support!

Let’s make this a great first week of the new year!

Time spent outdoors is an important part of the school day. However, freezing temperatures, chilling winds and precipitation can create health problems and make it unsafe for students to be outdoors.

Principals have the discretion to cancel or limit outdoor activities if they deem a situation is unsafe.

Dealey will follow the following guidelines during this season.

• Outside temperatures or wind chill is less than 32° - Outside activity is discouraged.

• Outside temperatures or wind chill above 32° - Most students can tolerate outdoor activities if they are dressed appropriately.

Students may respond in different ways in cold weather due to underlying health conditions or other factors. Staff will watch for students who become uncomfortable during outdoor activities. Consult the campus nurse for individual student concerns. The campus will communicate any campus closures due to inclement weather using the SMORE and School Messenger (text and call).

Tips on how to dress for cold weather include but are not limited to:

• Dress in layers

• Cover exposed skin with gloves or hats.

• Outerwear should be tightly woven, water resistant and hooded, if possible.

Registration is now open for the 4th-6th grade Dealey Girls Circle - Spring 2025! The circle is limited to 16 girls. Get the Early Bird price!

Circles meet on the following Fridays from 4:00 - 5:30 PM: 1/17, 1/31, 3/28, 4/11, 5/9

The Girls Circle is led by a Dealey mom who is trained in the Thriving Girls Circle curriculum. Watch this video slideshow from one of last year’s circles at another DISD school to see how much FUN the girls have!

We will eat pizza, dance, play music, and do arts & crafts. The girls won’t even realize they’re learning some of the most important skills of their lives!

Girls Will Learn:

• to love their bodies
• to express their emotions
• to calm their feelings of anxiety
• self-confidence and self-respect
• that menstruation is to be embraced and not shamed
• how to support & uplift one another
