Communication is a vital component to a successful school year and we will do our best to keep you informed about upcoming events, fundraisers, and important school updates.
For the most up-to-date information, families should frequently access at least one of the many outlets the school and PTA use to communicate important news and updates: 

Peace Pantry Sign Up

Did you know that the JL Long Peace Pantry is available to any family in our school community? Bags of food are sent home each week on Fridays.  Your participation is completely confidential! There is no paperwork or qualification process. To sign up, contact Ms. Donelson (Librarian) at pdonelson@dallasisd.org or Ms. Zamora (Parent Support Specialist) at audzamora@dallasisd.org or find them at school.

Long Athletics Fundraiser!

We just kicked off our 2025-2026 Fundraiser with TeamFunded, and we need every athlete/participant to follow these instructions and share with as many people as possible!  The more shares the better!  We need 100% participation - that’s every student in Long athletics!!   It only takes each student (or parent if the student does not have a phone) a couple of minutes to complete on their device.  Here we go:

 

1. Use the QR code to set up an account using your student’s name and phone number.  If your student does not have a phone, any phone number will do, just be sure to use your student’s name!

 

2.  Download the TeamFunded App & log in using your student’s name and the telephone number used.
