Thank you to the roughly 40% of our families that took the time to fill out our anonymous school improvement survey...we appreciate your feedback! We began this survey in the Fall of 2021, and analyzed the data twice a year with staff, going over your suggestions to see how we can make DPS the best that it can be. Because this survey is anonymous, parents often feel more comfortable voicing concerns or sharing suggestions they wouldn't otherwise share.
Because of your feedback and the hard work of our staff, we are thrilled to report that we scored above a 90% in ALL AREAS of this anonymous survey, with the exception of parents knowing how to use PowerSchool (88.9%). We have sent out a cheat sheet on PowerSchool, we will have parents log in during our Open House AND we will again help students log in on the first day (parents and students have the same log in site) with hopes of getting this score above 90% as well. If you still need help, please let us know, we are happy to give you an in person tutorial as well!
Again, your suggestions are taken seriously & we appreciate your input. Feedback has been shared with our staff and school board, and below are the areas and scores of our most recent (and highest scoring survey yet!):
