It’s been a year since DFW youth returned to lea

It’s been a year since DFW youth returned to learning in a new way. No one could have imagined the twists and turns we would need to make learning work. For students, their teachers, parents, advocates, OST providers and everyone else this journey has not been easy.

And as they’ve learned, we listened, pivoted and adapted to meet their needs.

We became more creative.
We strengthened our communities.
We learned what worked and unlearned, when it didn’t.
We were resilient.

And, as we collectively move from the new normal, to the next normal to now, we will continue to be, to build, to try, fail sometimes, then try again, invent, reinvent and push through for the betterment of youth.

Thank you for your partnership, supporting us and pushing in ways none of knew we could. #BetterTogether #DallasCityofLearning #SELDallas #ThisIsBigThought
