Principal's message to Deal students and families:
What a gorgeous weekend we had here in DC! With any luck the weather will stay this way - 50s to 70s - all the way till June (but I doubt it!). Either way, I hope you and your family were able to find your way outside and see the leaves start to turn, smell the woodsmoke in someone's fireplace, and feel the crispness in the air.
On Friday, 35 students and their parents went to see the Dance Theater of Harlem perform downtown. This was our first foray into our Artward Bound program, the goal of which is to provide students with as many opportunities as possible to see dance, theater, and music performed professionally here in Washington, DC. Last year, we took many students to about a dozen different performances and learned a lot about how to make this type of activity a reality. The original intention was to make sure that every student was able to go; that proved a lot harder in actuality as events aren't inexpensive, are not all attractive to all children and families, and managing tickets is almost a full-time job (and Ms. Neal already has one of those!). The plan is to identify art events coming up, purchase a block of discounted or group tickets, and then offer them to Deal students. Initially we believed we would chaperone students, but most families preferred to have a parent accompany their child. We, therefore, offer tickets at somewhat less discounted rates for a parent accompanying a child. This Friday was our biggest night - it was a wonderful, complex performance that was an excellent example of dance in our city. We have experimented with different ways to notify about tickets - a week in advance, a last-minute email. It is difficult to gauge interest in some programs, but tickets need to be purchased far in advance. There is always a danger at buying too much for too few. We'll keep trying to find the right formula. Why and how do we do this? Up above on the banner is a statement that Deal seeks to "act inclusively." Students need exposure to art - either through participation or observation. Some of them already have generous families who make this happen. Others don't, or could go but haven't thought to do so. Therefore, using some of the funds provided by donations and rentals, we purchase tickets and give them away! By removing the cost, we hope to make the performing arts that much more accessible. We have found that some performances are really quite expensive and others not so much; we would love to find ways to make some of the Arena and Kennedy Center performances more available. Less well-known venues and artists provide amazing performances as well, and so we try to balance our expectations and funding to expand access. "Inclusive" can be an expansive term. At Deal, our academic program is aimed at inclusion; we work hard to make sure that the best academics are offered for all (high school math and world languages, for example). We have an exceptionally inclusive special education program, with almost all of our students enrolled in our core program. The IB is, of course, a fully inclusive program at the middle grades - both by design and in our implementation. Finally, our expectation is that all students can participate in what Deal has to offer - an extensive array of curricular and extra-curricular offerings. We use our generous ADCA and DCPS funding to provide scholarships to students so that they are able to participate - be they trips to Costa Rica or trips to the National Portrait Gallery. And we work to make sure that everyone goes. This is why we will give you forms, pester you with calls, follow up as many times as necessary - just so we can get that permission slip filled out. Artward Bound fits neatly into this goal; art shouldn't just be for the few. This is our aim. We may fall short from this time to time, but we care deeply that Deal isn't just a good school, but is a good school for all of its students. Then we can say we are a great school.
James Albright
NB. In the same vein as Artward Bound, I just noticed that ArtoMatic is happening again this year. What is it? It is an art installation/exhibit with 700+ artists that runs from the end of October through December 12. It is nearby in Hyattsville near the New Carrolton Metro stop. The organizers take a complete office building (many floors) and cram visual artists and performers top to bottom. It might take several days to see it all, but it is a pretty amazing event. I have been to several of them over the years and can report that the experience is second to none. This one is free and well-worth the metro ride. Check it out (http://www.artomatic.org/artomatic-2015/).

Bus Information
DDOT to Temporarily Impose Partial Lane Closures on Military Road NW from Oregon Avenue to 14th Street
Students using the W45, D31, D33 and D34 will be affected in the afternoon on the way home from school.
Commuters should expect significant traffic delays starting Monday, October 5th.
The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will begin rotating lanes closures on Military Road, NW, from Oregon Avenue to 14th Street, starting Monday, October 5th at 7:30 am, weather permitting. Rolling closures are expected to remain in place until Sunday, November 8th at 5:30 pm. The eastbound right lane on Military Road NW will be impacted first. Following the eastbound right-lane closure will be westbound right-lane closures. Similar work will follow in the east and westbound left lanes. These closures are necessary to perform repairs, asphalt milling, overlay and line striping on Military Road.
One lane in each direction will remain open throughout the duration of this work. Commuters and residents should prepare for major, ongoing delays on Military Road and the adjacent roadways during construction.
DDOT encourages commuters to seek alternate routes. However, if traveling through this area, drivers are asked to stay alert and to obey all construction signs.

Alice Deal
Have you lost something during the school day? Check out the lost and found section of the website ( http://alicedeal.org/lost-found/) for photos of items found in common areas at Deal, including in the cafeteria, field, and gallery. Lost items will be kept for approximately two weeks before they are donated. To claim an item, please ask a staff member in the cafeteria to guide you to the lost-and-found. We make an effort to identify labeled items and make announcements for students to pick these up in the Welcome Center. Please help us by putting your full name on all lunch boxes, back-packs, and other items you bring to school on a regular basis.
Don't see what you've lost? Most classrooms have individual lost-and-found areas. Consider checking in with your teachers. You can also stop by the lost-and- found in the cafeteria as not all items may be pictured. |
World Language Trips - General Update |
|
Price Increase
EF Tours announced that there will be a price increase that will impact every World Language trip departing in 2016 starting on October 1st. Although there aren't specifics for each tour at this time, the minimum price increase will be $75 and the maximum increase will be $150. These price increases don't happen often, but the operations team at EF Tours does need to reevaluate the cost of travel to each destination each month to make sure they can still produce their tours at the same quality.
World Language Scholarships
Many families have asked about the availability of scholarships for our world language trips. We will again offer scholarships for select students. Funding for these scholarships is provided by the ADCA, individual family contributions (thank you!), and funding set aside by the Chancellor for student trips. Here is how it will work:
1. After the end of 1st advisory, every 8th student who could be enrolled on a World Language trip (not the UK/Italy trip, however) will have their grades reviewed.
2. Students earning a B or better in their World Language class and who receive federal aid (WIC, FARMS, other - we maintain this list) will be offered the chance for a scholarship.
3. Students will be asked to complete an application, write an essay, and submit the package by a set date. All students who qualify will be offered a partial scholarship for the trip associated with their language of study. This has typically been $1,500, or roughly 50 - 60% of the total trip cost. This is regardless of whether they have already signed up or not.
Families who do not qualify for federal support but are still interested in support at some level should contact Principal Albright at [email protected]. Families in need have been offered $500 in years past (though this has varied based on the total amount available).
Because scholarship funding comes from a variety of sources, eligible families should not anticipate the funding to come up front; support is funded very close to the actual trip.
Please direct enrollment questions to the trip leader for your student; direct scholarship questions to Mr. Albright.

High School NightOur high school night is set for October 21st at 6:30 pm; we hope you can join us! This night is a great opportunity to learn more about the DCPS high school application process and meet staff from high schools around the city. Please contact [email protected] with questions.
High School Applications
Eighth grade students applying to high schools will likely need transcripts and letters of recommendation from teachers, counselors, and admin at Deal. Here are a few tips to ensure the process goes smoothly for students and staff:
Requesting a Transcript
Most applications will ask for a transcript or school records. Requests should be sent to Ms. White in writing at least two weeks prior to the submission deadline. If your student applies to multiple schools, please gather all requests to submit at one time. Requests should include stamped envelopes for mailing.
Requesting Recommendations
Who - Start by thinking about the best teachers to attest to your strengths and positive attributes. Some schools require specific subject teachers to write the recommendation; be aware of this before you ask.
Prepare - Gather the recommendation forms and fill out all pertinent information. Prepare an addressed and stamped envelope for each requested recommendation for. All recommendations will be placed in the mail by the individual teacher or by your counselor.
Ask - Ask the individual if they would be willing to write your recommendation. Tell them when it needs to be completed and mailed in. It is also a good practice to send a follow-up email to the teacher thanking them for taking the time to do this for you. This email will help you keep track of who is submitting recommendations for you and also help with follow-up.
Grow - Use the experience of asking for a letter of recommendation to help you grow your communication skills. This will come in handy when advocating for yourself in high school.
High School Open House Dates:
