The DPS Your Voice/Tu Voz Survey Launches Monday, May 1
The spring cycle of 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, hearing the voices and feedback of our DPS community will help inform reflective decision making at our schools. 

Student surveys will be sent to students’ DPS email addresses. Beginning on May 1, families can access the survey link via email, the Parent Portal or at dpsk12.org/survey.

He explains how the work he does improves the experience of all DPS stakeholders, and how surveys provide the data necessary to do so.
