For 25 years, the Mayor’s Back to School Fair has helped set up the children of Dallas for success. The Fair, hosted by Mayor Eric Johnson, is a collaborative partnership between the City of Dallas, Dallas ISD, nonprofits, corporations, and community volunteers and serves economically disadvantaged students and their families who live in the City of Dallas and/or attend a Dallas ISD school in grades Pre-K to 12.

For Dallas ISD students, families must provide proof that the student attends a Dallas ISD school by providing student ID number.
