Dealey Weekly Update
Week of November 13th
Principal News and Notes
Our International Academy had an amazing Global Friday last week. Check out some of the pics in the short video clip below. Teachers and students did a fabulous job planning a day of learning around China, Japan, North Korea and South Korea.
We will have a staff meeting on Tuesday after school. Let's dismiss the students as quickly as possible and meet in the library at 3:45 p.m.
Please take your students down the hallways to look at lost and found items later this week. Our cabinet is packed, and we need to get clothing items back where they belong.
This week is our last building tour for new/prospective parents. Thanks for letting us peek in your classrooms each week.
Have a productive week, Team!
