Principal's Message to Deal students and families:
Thank you thank you thank you to the many who came out to the Deal Auction/Rock & Roll Dance/Community Party last night - we finally had to kick the DJ out at 11:15, along with some parents and teachers who did NOT want to stop dancing! While I am sure the event exceeded our estimates for fund-raising (its ostensible purpose) it clearly reached and went beyond our need to have some "fun-raising" (please pardon me for that phrase!). As a time to meet each other, talk, share stories - all in a space we have built together - last night's auction reminded us why we are in community together - to provide the best for all of our students. In next week's bulletin I will take some time to thank those individuals who went all out to make it work - but let me take time to share a thought.
When I walked into the cafeteria and saw the new stage that had been built with a classic dance floor right in front, I was transported. While Ms. Neal wondered if we could keep the dance floor (lunch time would definitely be different!), I loved the fact that this space in which our students find community - the lunch room - was also where the parents found community. The week preceding the auction had thousands of lunches eaten, musical performances made, practices being held, clubs meeting - all in the same room. Right where we auctioned off the much-coveted "Golden Library Passes," students raise their hand for the daily distribution thereof; right where we ate pulled pork and macaroni and cheese, our children chowed down on Ukrainian food. A teacher reminded me that a number of years ago the auction was held near Rock Creek Park in a beautiful yet smaller setting. It seems very appropriate now that our cafeteria serves more as a community space for all of our needs - especially the auction. (A shout-out to your ADCA president, Cathy House, for leading the effort last night - and more to come!)
Thank you for sending us children that are more than glad to walk for 20 minutes to their neighborhood theater (the Avalon) and watch a tremendous film, Selma, at the beginning of Black History Month. About 900 students and teachers were able to share in this wonderful film, returning to class to write and discuss their understandings of this seminal American event. Teams made a point of stopping by the Reno Building on their way to the movie to reflect on the role of segregated education in our own history. The continuing conversation about history will come to a head in early March with our own Black History Speech and Drama Competition. Thank you to all who are making these great events happen!
Something you should note: down below in the Deal Athletics section is the first announcement of our new Summer Sport and Fitness Camp. Led by our great coaching staff, the Camp will provided full- and half-day sessions for four weeks - at a rate lower than other camps in the area. This is something we have long wanted to provide for our students. Please note that, like all good things, availability is limited and registration has now started. Check it out and don't miss out.
James Albright
PS - Our NAEP testing will be held on Wednesday of this week for our 8th graders. We are greatly appreciative of our system (DCPS') commitment to meeting our technological needs for all online testing - we have received 15 laptop carts over the last few weeks - 450 NEW computers for Deal students to use every day (as well as for testing). This effort has allowed us to minimize the disruption that testing has typically represented.

8th Grade Corner 
Future Wilson High School Students
The staff at Wilson look forward to having your student join the Wilson community. Last week, Wilson counselors met with Deal students to introduce them to our registration system and help them choose classes for the coming year. Students were asked to choose 7 credits worth of classes, which include 5 core classes and 2 electives. It is strongly recommended that Freshman take physical education (.5 credits) and their art and music classes (.5 credits each.)
After we receive the registration forms, the scheduling team will input the course requests into our new registration system called Aspen. The scheduling team will also look at your student's first three advisory grades and test scores to help place them in the courses in which we feel they would have the most success.
In early May, copies of the course request sheets will be sent home with the student or mailed. Please review these selections and make any changes to those requests before mid-June. Contact one of the following people on the scheduling team if you have any questions:
Ashley.Sobrinski@dc.gov for Special Education
Jon.Shea@dc.gov for English Language Learners
Joseph.Boykin@dc.gov,
Tamara.Clemmons@dc.gov,
MaryBeth.Waits@dc.gov for other Counseling Questions
Our entire course catalog may be found on our website, as well as the course selection form, and the powerpoint that students saw at Deal.
Please go to wilsonhs.org>Academics->2015-2016 Course Selection.
NAEP Testing This Week
On Wednesday, all 8th grade students will participate in the National Assessment of Education Progress. Students will take the assessment in their homerooms on Wednesday so their prompt arrival is important. Taken every two years by our 8th graders, this assessment is, according to their website, "the largest nationally representative and continuing assessment of what American students know and can do in various subject areas." The test will cause minimal disruption to their learning day and we are confident our students will perform well.

City-wide Children's Marimba Ensemble
Music, camaraderie, performance, exploration. These are things you'll experience in Sticks & Bars: A DC Youth Marimba Ensemble. Started this past fall for the children of DC in 5th to 12th grade, Sticks & Bars meets Tuesdays and Thursdays to reherse at the Gala Hispanic Theater in centrally located Columbia Heights. This marimba ensemble focuses mainly on the lively, get-up-and-dance music of Zimbabwe! The ensemble is made up of students from schools around DC -- public, private, charter and home school. The students will perform in various venues in the metro area. A new session starts Feb. 3, but join at any time. Fees run $10/lesson. For more information, to attend a practice, or merely to observe, contact Premila Mistry at: premilamistry@yahoo.com<mailto:premilamistry@yahoo.com>. View video of our students playing at
