First day of school for Dallas Independent School District is here so drivers should expect a slower commute and the need to slow down.
Saturday, the City of Dallas put on a Back to School Fest providing free supplies to Dallas students.
Dallas ISD has partner on multiple supply drives this year. The focus on recovering from COVID19 learning loss is evident.
Backpack Policy
Dallas ISD will require clear backpacks for all students in K – 12th grade for the 2023-2024 academic year. This requirement will not apply to pre-K students.
Students also have the option of carrying a mesh backpack, however clear ones are preferred.
Students may carry a small, nonclear pouch in their backpack to hold personal items, such as cellphones, money, and hygiene products.
To support families, each student will be provided a durable clear backpack at no cost. Parents may also purchase the preferred clear backpack, or the acceptable mesh backpack, for their students.
First Day Of School Driving
Drivers are specifically reminded to slow down.
Last year almost 250 tickets were issues for speeding in a school zone. Similar enforcement is expected this year also.
