Dealey Dragon Update
Back to School News
Message from the Principal
I hope you had a restful summer break! As principal, it is my pleasure to welcome you all back for another wonderful year at Dealey. The teachers returned to work this week and we're all excited for the children to return and fill the classrooms and hallways with energy and enthusiasm for learning.
There will be a few new faces at Dealey this year. They are looking forward to meeting you and your children very soon. I have listed all of our new staff members below. Hopefully everyone will get the chance to meet them in person at our Open House on August 18th.
If you haven't already seen a copy of the school supply lists, they can be found on our school's website. We will frequently update our website and hope you find the information helpful and informative. Feel free to visit the site at www.dallasisd.org/dealey.
Looking forward to another successful year!
Proud to be a Dragon,
Beverly Lusk
Principal
