Our Discovery Link child care centers are open to support educators and families during remote learning.

Welcome to the 2020-21 school year! While this first week of school looks much different than we are used to, we hope it still brings plenty of the joy and excitement that comes with a new school year. We are so grateful for you, our amazing educators, who have demonstrated such flexibility and creativity to ensure that this is a great school year for our kids. Thank you for all you do and will continue to do in the coming weeks and months.

Applications to join the 2020-21 Superintendent's Teacher Advisory Council (TAC) are

now open through Sept. 3. The TAC meets throughout the school year and creates opportunities for teachers to engage and collaborate with Superintendent Susana Cordova, as well as provide ongoing, candid feedback on policies and initiatives. We encourage you to submit an application and share perspectives. If you have questions, email Erin_Lynne@dpsk12.org.

Join these webinar series to hear from expert teachers, who will be showcasing how they are using our learning management systems.

If you are not already a member of your grade or course Schoology Group, please join now. Schoology is where we house all curriculum and instruction resources, scope and sequences, unit overviews, curriculum access and important announcements. Codes to all groups can be found here. Access professional learning resources for Schoology here. If you need support, contact your Digital Coach.

Last week, we shared that, in order to minimize health risks, parents, guardians and visitors are not allowed in DPS buildings at this time. In addition to the groups we outlined last week (school staff, approved district staff, approved contractors, students participating in child care or approved for 1:1 support aligned to this guidance) individuals accessing a School-Based Health Clinic or a mental health professional are also currently allowed in school or other DPS buildings. As a reminder, all approved students/adults in buildings must complete a health screening and follow health protocols.
