Setting students up for success through outstanding teachers and public school choice programs

Sponsored post

Teachers are individuals who impact everyone’s life. Through their dedication and hard work, they help to create future leaders. Dallas ISD is grateful for every one of the more than 10,000 teachers who commit themselves to bring the district’s mission to life and provide a quality education to all students.

I’d like to salute all 2018 Dallas ISD Campus Teachers of the Year and would like to specially recognize those who serve students in District 1.

Just like teachers begin setting the foundations for children’s future, public school choice programs are also a key factor in the successful road that awaits students. Dallas ISD has a variety of educational programs that offer additional learning opportunities for students at all grade levels. These programs – which range from dual language, montessori, personalized learning, magnets, single gender schools, collegiate academies, and much more – offer options to meet students needs and interests and provide a quality education with an emphasis on career pathways.

Parents, I’d like for you to join us and Discover Dallas ISD on Saturday, Nov. 3, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., at Fashion Industry Gallery, 1807 Ross Ave., Dallas, TX.
