## Resource

Dallas ISD is diving headfirst into the new school year with an ambitious plan: 13 elementary schools and select sixth graders are starting early, even on Saturdays, under the “Additional Days School Year” program. Designed to boost learning through hands-on, engaging activities, the initiative aims to close gaps, combat summer slide, and push every student toward academic excellence. Schools like John Q. Adams Elementary—once an “F” and now a “B”—are already showing dramatic improvement, crediting staff, students, and community for the turnaround. Teachers are energized, noting how extra days help rebuild routines and deepen relationships, fueling confidence that this bold move will deliver real results and help the district climb toward its ultimate goal: an “A” rating.
