Greetings Dealey Community!

"Just as ripples spread out when a single pebble is dropped into water, the actions of individuals can have far-reaching effects". -The Dalai Lama

Happy New Week!

Thank you all for your unwavering dedication to Dealey! We are still excited about our academic growth and moving into analyzing our district SMC (Standard Mastery Check) data. As you talk to your students, please remind them of their half band grade goals for STAAR. For example, if a student was High Meets on STAAR last school year, their goal is Low Masters on the comparable test this school year. If you need any STAAR data, please contact your child's current homeroom or content teacher.

We had our first PTA meeting of the semester last Wednesday. Thank you to the PTA board and all PTA members for your hard work. Your kind support is evidence that a ripple of kindness can go a long way.

We want to also thank all of our staff members that are participating in magnet testing. You are amazing!

This week, our SEL focus is on a ripple of kindness. We are going to continue to encourage our students and the entire Dealey community to exhibit kindness in all of our words, gestures and deeds. A little bit of kindness can go a long way!

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!
