Principal's message to Deal students and families:
We are entering a challenging time of the school calendar. The number of interruptions increases with conference days (this Monday), the end of the advisory, and then the two holiday breaks in November. The weather turns a bit more miserable as we begin to spend a lot of time indoors and with ever-decreasing sunlight. We continue to work on schoolwork while DCPS initiatives and assessments roll on (Cornerstones, interim assessments). In addition, incorporating the practices of authentic and meaningful feedback with a new grading system challenge even the most experienced. Life in school in 2015.
And yet . . . last week's Pep Rally was a hilarious interlude and celebration of spirit, Deal debate and Model UN keep bringing back trophies, and our sports teams again demonstrate our commitment to fair play and good competition. Even with the calendar's challenges, student life is full and engaging. In 8th grade English, students are tackling Shakespeare's Tempest and are knee deep in the Science Fair with National History just revving up. In seventh grade, we wrapped up our many Cornerstone projects (a number designed by our own Deal teachers), all the while tackling Mesopotamia, the five senses, expressions and ratios, and independent reading. The sixth graders will be journeying to see He Named Me Malala thanks to a generous grant secured by Mr. Martini, finishing up Tuck Everlasting, exploring global gender inequality and space systems. This is also life in school in 2015.
Speaking of that Pep Rally: Thanks to the student council and its teacher sponsors - Ms. Wickersham, Mr. Haller, and Mr. Martis - for making sure we created a new tradition for our Deal students. What a great way to end an extended Spirit Week! Tomorrow many of you will visit your child's teachers for the Parent-Teacher Conference day of the year. For those of you who were unable to secure a time to meet with the team teachers, I am sure that you have been in contact with your child's team teachers to see if a conference is needed right now. There will be other opportunities this year and you are also always welcome to check in via Edline and email. Finally, a comment about our Career Day coming up on November 3rd. A number of you have responded to team and counselor requests to provide a speaker for a brief introduction to your career path; thank you. We have nowhere nearly enough for this to happen, however, and three weeks to secure the remaining speakers. So, here is my challenge: I happen to know that the parent community in this school represents an amazing array of professions and jobs. This is one characteristic of a diverse school and community. Career Day is the chance to share your love for your career with students. If you can't make it, then get your co-worker, or that interesting person down the hall or down the street to do it. I will personally reach out to those of you who I know have a great story to tell, but frankly I don't know all your stories. But you do. Think of this as an opportunity not to embarrass your child but to spark someone's interest in a career, profession, or job that they don't know much about. We should have a wide range of volunteers from the entertainment world, government world, news and media world, sports world, education world, publishing and writing world, services world, trades world, and public service world in this building on November 3. Wonder what you can do to support our school? This is one very effective way. Contact [email protected], one of our counselors, to arrange the visit.
We should be able to fill our missing slots with all of you very interesting people by Tuesday, right?
Thank you for all your support - in the past and going forward. Let me know what you need.
James Albright
NB. High School Night is this Wednesday evening. If you have an 8th grader, you should both attend. This is the very best way to kick off the "high school hunting" season - and it is designed just for you. 6:30 at Deal. Hope to see you there!

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.
For more information and updates on the 16th Street Bridge construction, please visit the project website

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 |
|
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:
Want to learn more about a specific high school? The best way to learn more is to visit them in person! The following are current open house dates for Wilson and for DCPS application high schools.
