Dealey News
February 3, 2020
Dear Excellent Dealey Team,
On Saturday we tested/ interviewed nearly 300 students at every grade level. Huge Shout Out to all that helped- an essential part of working in a Magnet School is participation in recruitment and assessment. I appreciate all of you that have helped with this work. If you helped on Saturday, please feel free to wear jeans on Monday!
Report from SBDM
I presented a brief CIP update. Here is a copy of the information for you to review.

I also shared information on what is means to be a public Montessori. As educators working in a public Montessori, you understand this, but I also think it is valuable to continue to clarify this message for our families. Please see the information that I shared.

February is Black History Month
I came across a couple of useful resources as you plan for Black History Month:
This article from Teaching Tolerance offers an interesting framework and resources for Black History Month. https://www.tolerance.org/magazine/black-history-month-teaching-the-complete-history
This page has podcasts and news reports that are also good resources.

Montessori Conference Video
Please see this short video overview from January 6th's Dallas ISD Montessori Conference. What valuable day of learning- I love seeing Dealey represented in this video! I commend all of you for your commitment to growth!
