Dealey Dragon Update
May 2016
Message from the Principal
Greetings Dealey Parents!
Spring has sprung and everyone here at Dealey is busy preparing for end of the year activities and testing. We will have the majority of our STAAR testing during the second week in May, with the exception of the Algebra 1 EOC which will take place on May 3rd. Our first round preliminary STAAR scores for 5th and 8th grade came back last week and we are proud of the results and gains from our hardworking teachers and students. I will include a full report once I have received the official reports from the state and scores from all content areas and grades.
I know those of you who have students moving to a new grade level are anxious to see who your child's new teacher will be. We will work hard to have class lists completed so we can hopefully communicate this news to you on the front end of summer break, rather than right before school starts. We are also working to have all school supply lists posted on our website for easy access. We will keep you posted on those two items.
Even though we still have one more month, I just want to say that it has been an amazing year. Thank you for being so involved and supportive with your child's education. I feel so blessed to be here at Dealey.
Finally, get ready to fill up your calendar this month! See a full list of activities below for the month of May.
Thanks for all you do!

TMSCA Math and Science Competition - San Antonio, TX April 16, 2016
June 1st, 2016 - Middle School Transition Day for 6th Grade!
We are asking all 6th grade students to stay at Dealey on the June 1st early release day to spend an afternoon in the middle school hallway getting to know their future teachers.
Students will be divided into groups and rotate through the teachers as they are engaged in mini-content or cultural lessons. This will be a great opportunity for students to learn the ropes of the middle school hallway before they fully transition in the fall.
Please look for more information about this event from your child's current teacher.
Thank you, Mr. Resendiz, for organizing this event!
