Reminder: The DPS Your Voice/Tu Voz Survey Launches Monday, May 1 |
|
|
|
The DPS Your Voice/Tu Voz survey opens on Monday, May 1. This is your opportunity to share your experiences in DPS. We know that, while district data is important and helpful, it’s the voices and feedback of your school and community that will help inform reflective decision making at your building.
Check out the participation dashboard to better track participation progress between the fall survey cycle and the upcoming spring cycle.
Student and staff surveys will be sent to DPS email addresses. Beginning on May 1, families can access the survey link via email, in the Parent Portal, and at dpsk12.org/survey.

Tony Chavez
Program Leader, Steele Elementary
Students First
"Mr. Tony brings joy and fun to all he does with our students and truly embodies our Shared Core Value of Students First. Each day, he has a new and engaging activity for students to do during Discovery Link. Many of the activities are student-driven and allow for voice and choice. The most recent example of this is a student-led March Madness with all sorts of topics that kids love. Each morning as the staff would arrive, our Discovery Link students had us vote on our favorite things: Skittles vs Kit Kat, green eggs and ham vs Harry Potter, etc. Tony builds strong relationships with kids and families. Tony is a true gem and we are so grateful he is part of the Steele Discovery Link team!"
-- Marti Rosenberg, Steele Elementary
