Some folks got started on Twin Day a little bit early! Don’t forget to jump in on the fun next week for homecoming!

🔎 Classroom observations on a Monday morning at Thomas Jefferson HS focused on alignment across English classes: ✨ Balanced student talk vs. teacher talk ✅ Consistent checks for understanding ✍️ Writing embedded in every lesson #Elevate2025 #TJHS #QualityInstruction @RyanZysk @Region6_DISD @HighschoolTj @TJVT_Dallas

Today we told principals how all our changes (ending teaching to the test, giving teachers a new curriculum to unlock their creativity) returns children to the center of what we do. It’s going to be a great school year!

Summer EOCs begin next week! Good luck scholars!

Dallas ISD will observe Juneteenth on Monday, June 19, & district schools and offices will be closed. Juneteenth commemorates the announcement of the emancipation of slaves on June 19, 1865, in Galveston, following the Emancipation Proclamation that was issued two years earlier.

STAAR EOC summer edition begins next week! Save the date. Good luck! Let's go Patriots! Testing will begin at 9 a.m.
