W.T. WHITE HIGH SCHOOL Feeder
Community Announcement - November 2017
A Note from our Executive Director:
It is hard to believe it is already November. We have so much to be thankful for in the WTW Feeder pattern. We had 100% participation from all of our schools in the WTW homecoming parade. It is great to see our entire community come together to celebrate our schools. We will be having our 3rd annual Family STEM night, sponsored at the high school, on November 9th. Please make sure you attend with the whole family for science activities, food and fun. We want our students to see the incredible opportunities that are in front of them in the science and technology field.
Congratulations to our teachers of the year at our campuses. They are all very deserving, and we are thankful for all of the hard work put into every lesson for our students. November 14th we are having Meet White Night and November 16th we are having a preview night at both of our middle schools. Come see the great opportunities we have for our students. You might be pleasantly surprised by all the award-winning programs at White, Walker and Marsh.
Come see us! Our doors are always open!

Dallas ISD Invites Community to Education Summits - Long Range Planning
The Dallas Independent School District (Dallas ISD) is launching a strategic planning process to create a strategic and innovative vision for Dallas ISD learning, technology, and facilities design. To launch this process, the district is hosting four education summits and encourages all stakeholders to attend one of the summits.
Parents, students, district staff, business leaders and community members will have an opportunity to share their innovative vision of the future.
6 to 8 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 7
W.T. White High School
(*Free childcare and refreshments will be provided )
During the summits, citizens will have the opportunity to learn more about the learning, technology and facilities planning process and hear from a student panel, as well as talk about their highest hopes and aspirations for their children. In an effort to develop an actionable and measurable vision, Dallas ISD encourages all community members to join this effort.
Additionally, community members can provide feedback through an online survey now through Friday, Nov. 10 here. The survey will also be posted on the district and campus websites. The district is also hosting a series of focus groups representing various stakeholder groups in October and early November.
Information, feedback and input gathered at the summits, focus groups and from the survey will be used by a design team comprised of citizens and district staff who will create a community-focused strategic direction for technology and facilities. This strategic direction will include a set of community beliefs, call to action, goals, action steps and a learner profile. Additionally, it will allow Dallas ISD to measure student learning and serve as a guide for the district as it makes future decisions regarding instruction, technology, budgeting, staffing and facility planning.
As the district embarks on this process, all summits, documents, and resources will be posted online at www.dallasisd.org/envisiondallasisd so that community members stay informed. The district will provide updates throughout this process.
Calendar feedback
Give us your feedback on the proposed academic calendars for the 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 school years (fill out the survey).
