Take the “Your Voice/ Tu Voz” Family Survey

Help improve DPS for all students by completing the DPS “Your Voice/Tu Voz” family survey. The DPS “Your Voice/Tu Voz” Family Survey has been extended through Friday, Nov. 8

The feedback we receive through this survey is critical to understanding how we can better serve students and their families. We know that this is a very busy time of year when you have many priorities to juggle simultaneously. We recognize your efforts and thank you for continuing to prioritize the survey so we can hear from as many families as possible in service of improving the DPS Experience.

Questions? Please refer to the Survey FAQs for more information.
