Attention: High School Students and Parents
We initially decided that we would not have semester tests at the high school next week.
Our student body has had to deal with so much tragedy this year that we wanted to take the stress of the exams off of their plates.
However, after speaking with our attorney regarding the legal liability, and fact that some students may be relying on the semester exam(s) to improve their semester averages, we have decided to meet in the middle and allow parents and students to make this decision independently.
SEMESTER EXAMS WILL BE OPTIONAL, but not required.
If a student chooses to take the semester exam, we are requesting that they notify their teachers before the end of the school day Monday, May 22,2023.
Seniors will still test on Tuesday and everyone else will test on Wednesday and Thursday.
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact Mr. Byrd at 806-244-7810 or Mr. Wright at 806-244-7300.

The Dalhart Intermediate Campus was placed into a secure lock-in for a brief period of time this afternoon, due to law enforcement activity in the neighborhood.
There is and was at no time an immediate threat. We took these precautions for the safety of our students and faculty. School resumed in a very short period of time, classes were operational during the secure lock-in.

Con gran tristeza compartimos esta información con la comunidad de Dalhart.
Alrededor del mediodía de ayer, se desarrolló un incidente que involucró a miembros jóvenes de nuestra querida comunidad. Los detalles del incidente se retienen en este momento debido a una investigación.
Un incidente aislado que involucró un arma de fuego resultó en el fallecimiento de Preston Ralston (15), quien era estudiante en la Escuela Secundaria de Dalhart. En ningún momento hubo una situación de tirador activo. A pedido de las fuerzas del orden público para la seguridad de nuestros profesores y estudiantes, DISD se cerró mientras las fuerzas del orden investigaban la situación. Cuando se determinó que no había amenaza, el Distrito eliminó el aislamiento.
Un poco antes de las 14:00 horas el Distrito informó a los padres sobre el incidente y les informó que no había amenaza para los estudiantes, que el campus de la escuela secundaria dejaría salir a los estudiantes a las 2:00 p. m. y los otros campus saldrían en horarios regulares.
Por respeto a las familias, nuestros estudiantes, profesores y todos los involucrados, le pedimos su comprensión ya que las fuerzas del orden público no responderán preguntas específicas hasta que se haya completado una investigación exhaustiva. Cualquier información que pueda tener se puede compartir con el jefe de policía de Dalhart, Tommy Hughes, ya que él dirige la investigación del incidente.
En este momento, enfatizamos la necesidad de oraciones por nuestra comunidad. Abraza a tus seres queridos y aprecia tu tiempo con ellos. La comunidad y el Distrito Escolar tienen consejeros profesionales disponibles para hablar con cualquier persona que lo necesite. El equipo de crisis del Centro de Servicios Educativos de la Región 16 y el equipo de la Alianza Ministerial de Dalhart están en la escuela secundaria para ayudar a cualquier estudiante o miembro de la facultad que necesite hablar con alguien. El Distrito continuará monitoreando y satisfaciendo las necesidades de nuestros estudiantes durante el resto de la semana y posteriormente, según sea necesario.
Cuando se le preguntó si había un mensaje para el público, la familia de Preston aconsejó: “Queremos que todos sepan que esto fue un accidente. Queremos que los involucrados sepan que sabemos que esto fue un accidente”.
Atentamente,
Chief Tommy Hughes Superintendent Jeff Byrd
