Hello, District 6,
Congratulations, Dallas ISD students! You’ve crossed the finish line of the 2024–2025 school year.
I couldn’t be more proud of the determination and perseverance each of you showed throughout these two semesters. Whether this year brought triumphs or challenges (or both), you made it. And now, it’s your time to rest, reflect, and recharge.
Summer is more than a break — it’s a launchpad. If you’re staying right here in Dallas or setting off on travels near or far, this is your season of discovery. Take a moment to pause and ask yourself: What lights me up? What do I want to explore, become, or create?
I’m reminded of Oprah Winfrey’s wise words: “The biggest adventure you can ever take is to live the life of your dreams.”
This summer, dare to begin that adventure. Dream bigger than ever before. Be bold in how you live. Dive deep into who you are and who you want to be.
Whether stepping into pre-K or preparing for senior year, it’s never too soon (or too late) to start building the life you imagine. And know this: Dallas ISD is with you every step of the way.
We are your champions, cheering you on as you reach your goals.
Looking ahead to the 2025–2026 school year, remember Dallas ISD has resources and opportunities to help you thrive. Want to become a five-star chef? A mechanical engineer? Attend an Ivy League university? Earn a certificate that launches your career? It’s all possible. And we’re here to help make it happen.
So go ahead — explore, dream, grow. Because the world is waiting for everything you have to offer.
Have an amazing summer. We’ll see you soon. Remember, the first day of school is Aug. 12.
