If you’re starting to feel like summer is “flying by,” hold on to your wings: students at several Dallas ISD campuses start the new school year on Tuesday.
It’s part of a district plan called Additional Days School Year, or ADSY. Students at 13 elementary schools – and sixth graders at select middle schools – will follow an extended calendar that includes additional instructional days, some of which fall on Saturdays.
Participating campuses include:

- Middle schools: T.W. Browne; Hector P. Garcia; Sam Tasby; Harold Wendell Lang Sr.; Boude Storey; Royce West Leadership Academy; Young Men’s Leadership Academy at Fred F. Florence.
