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.

Dealey Dragons,

November is dedicated to showing thanks and gratitude. I am grateful and humbled by the daily work habits and attitude of effort shown by our children, families, and staff. Our work habits, attitude, and effort are things we control. You win regardless of the outcome when you choose to have a positive attitude and give maximum effort to whatever challenges or difficult situations you encounter.


Thank you for the countless ways you all support our Dragons!



Sincerely,

Cristina Ibarra (Principal)

Attendance Matters

Every school day counts in a child's academic life... A missed school day is a lost opportunity for students to learn. Our campus attendance went down to 93.9%


The highest percentage of attendance among the grade levels will have the opportunity to wear jeans with a Dealey or College shirt on Thursday. Congratulations 8th grade again with 98.2%! You may wear jeans this Thursday with a Dealey spirit or college shirt.
