Extended Learning Opportunities
It has been researched that students spend more than 80% of their day outside of their home. Afterschool programs play an important role in students' lives and within the community as a whole. These types of programs provide a safe environment to learn and continue to explore educational topics even after their school day has ended.
For the 2021-2022 school year, Dallas ISD has provided afterschool programing to 55 elementary and middle school campuses across the district. While the goal is to grow to 100 sites total in the next year, these first 55 campuses were selected according to High Priority Campus (HPC) Status and/or based on the Equity Index developed by Dallas ISD's School Leadership.

Information Technology Supports
Advanced Academics
All Dallas ISD elementary students who are identified as gifted/talented participate in a minimum of two hours of pull out services each week. During this time, G/T teachers engage students in critical and creative thinking tasks, problem solving, research, and creation of innovative products using the Texas Performance Standards Project (TPSP) as a curricular framework.
Each year, Advanced Academic Services selects and supports G/T teachers in facilitating two TEKS-aligned units for students in grades 1-5. Accomplished and Breakthrough campuses have earned the autonomy to select the TPSP unit/s of their choice for approval by Advanced Academic Services.
Student Tech Assistant Resource
The Student Tech Assistant Resource (STAR) program (formerly known as Campus Student Tech Team Training) is based on a foundation of student leadership, self-directed learning, and training with the Information Technology department. This autonomy is available to Accomplished and Breakthrough high school campuses. Implementing STAR will create a unique learning and leadership opportunity for the campus. Providing students with the opportunity to expand their knowledge, skills, and help train others. Based on campus, STAR is open to various opportunities for the students, such as:
- Technology Skill building
- Networking
- Paid Summer Internships
In addition, participating campuses have a chance to receive additional tech support and resources to upgrade campus technology.
