Tú Voz Survey (from DPS)
Thank you so much for the input you have given our district through previous DPS “Your Voice/Tu Voz” family and student surveys. Your voice is essential to helping DPS do better! The first survey of the year will be sent on Monday, Sept. 26. We will send students their survey to their DPS email address. Families may take the survey from a link sent to their email, or use the link that will be posted in the Parent Portal and at dpsk12.org/survey. Families, please fill out one survey for each student enrolled in DPS. Some questions are school- and grade-specific.

As a reminder, the student survey is for all third through 12th-grade students. It will include questions about what they are learning and how they are feeling about life in school. You and your student are not required to take the survey and all answers are kept private. If you prefer that your student not participate in the September survey, please click here to opt them out by 5 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 23. The answers you provide will help us improve education in DPS. Thank you again for your cooperation. We hope you are having a great school year!

Fall Conferences Are Coming: October 11th & 12th

Please mark your calendar for the evenings of October 11th and October 12th for Fall Conferences. Classroom teachers will be sending more information out soon to sign-up! Research clearly demonstrates that a healthy and collaborative relationship between schools and families are one of the top factors in determining success of students.

We have a goal of meeting with 100% of our families! If the 11th and 12th absolutely do not work, please work with your student's teacher to find an alternative.
