Quote of the Week:
“Today or any day that phone may ring and bring good news.” — Ethel Waters
Dear Dealey Families,
This week’s quote reminds us that good news can arrive at any moment — sometimes all it takes is one message, one opportunity, or one act of kindness to brighten our day. ✨
This week, Dealey had so much to celebrate — from family partnerships and student joy to teacher excellence and districtwide recognition. Thank you for being the heartbeat of our community!
💙 Thank You, Dealey Community!
A heartfelt thank you to all of our staff and parents who helped organize and attend this week’s special events:

“When you support teachers and you support your staff from a leadership perspective, and everyone is feeling supported, now they begin to do things on their own.”
— Principal Amber Garrett, Dealey Montessori & International Academy
