District 3 is diving into the summer with so many accomplishments in tow. I am proud of all our team members, students, and community members for making it to the finish line of the 2023-2024 school year and preparing for the 2024-2025 school year with passion and enthusiasm.
Summer Meals
Dallas ISD will provide free meals to students throughout the summer months. Families with children aged 18 and younger are encouraged to take advantage of the Summer Food Service Program, which offers healthy and balanced meals.
