Get more sleep - Try hard to get a lot of sleep this week. It is exciting and emotional; lots of water and a lot of sleep makes everything better.
How can I get involved with Showcase?
There is a section below introducing Showcase, but to volunteer here is the shortest version:
Contact your student’s Guild (links to each guild are under the Fast Lane section at the top of this newsletter).
Register as a DISD Voly volunteer so you’re cleared through the district and our Raptor security system. This is the system we use to check you in to enter the building each day.
You can complete both the registration and notification steps at this link.
No other big questions this week! Everyone have fun!

What is it?
College Showcase Week, sponsored by the Junior League of Dallas through a grant and a partnership spanning more than 35 years, is coming up November 19-22! This is one of the most exciting times of the year at Booker T. Washington — when our seniors present their best work to visiting college representatives.
It’s a transformative week for our students. Even those who don’t receive a scholarship or admission offer gain invaluable experience in preparing and presenting a professional body of work that reflects their skills and growth. As part of the weeks events, we will host a college fair on Friday, November 21st. College Fair for Seniors starts at 3:30p.m. And for underclassmen, it starts at 4:30p.m.
What to Expect
Each conservatory hosts a variety of masterclasses and opportunities for students to meet college reps. Curious what it looks like? You can view last year’s At-a-Glance schedule (2024) document for reference. Please note: this is not the 2025 schedule — just an example of what to expect.
Volunteer Opportunities
We’d love to have your help! Only underclass parents (9th–11th grade) may volunteer during Showcase Week — senior parents may not volunteer to ensure an equitable experience for students.
To get involved:
Contact your student’s Guild (links are under the Fast Lane section at the top of this newsletter).
Register as a DISD Voly volunteer so you’re cleared through the district and our Raptor security system. This is the system we use to check you in to enter the building each day.
