Ask your supervisor or principal where your team is viewing convocation. The link to the livestream will be available at www.dallasisd.org/convocation. A countdown video will air 30 minutes before the official start time so schools and departments that want to watch as a group have time to set up and test the video streaming.

If you have any problems setting up for a group to watch or can’t access the livestream, you can contact the Help Desk at (972) 925-5630 so a Help Desk agent will enter a ticket on your behalf and deploy an available technician assigned to your location. Remember, a set up video will be provided 30 minutes before the livestream begins.

Yes. Closed captioning will be available.

Spanish captioning will be available.

We are doing our best to deliver two items per person to each of the team members listed for the org numbers, but people who only receive one of the items or none can fill . Remember that if you are a campus-based central employee, your items were delivered to your department. Check with your supervisor before filling out the form.

Food will not be provided for convocation, but campuses and departments can take the opportunity to plan welcome-back events or meetings around the virtual event.

Although we want everyone to join for the celebration at 10 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 5, those who miss the event or want to watch it at a different time in conjunction with a school or department event will have access to a recording after the livestream.

Here are some ideas to make your team video viewing session centered around the theme of Make it Happen.

Themed Refreshments — Create a "Make it Happen" refreshment table with energizing snacks such as protein bars, fresh fruits, veggies with dip, and smoothies.

Snack Station — Set up a DIY popcorn station where team members can customize their own snack bags with various add-ins like nuts, dried fruit, and candy.

Energy Booster Table — Provide snacks known for their energy-boosting properties like almonds, dark chocolate, and green tea. This can help keep everyone alert and engaged.

Make it Happen Vision Board — Create space for team members to write their goals for the upcoming school year. Discuss how you can help make their vision a reality. 

Make it Happen Buttons/Badges Station — Create buttons or badges with inspiring messages that team members can wear or display.

You Make It Happen Handwritten Notes — Adopt another campus or department and write personalized notes of encouragement and appreciation, emphasizing the "Make it Happen" message. Send them off to encourage another team as we kick off a new school year!
