Second Opportunity for Paid After-School and Attendance incentive opportunity
Posted by Chrystal Wilson on 2/6/20252/6/2025
High School Parents,
As a reminder, all schools are open tomorrow. Our exciting perfect attendance program for high school students continues tomorrow with the start of the next 10 day cycle. Starting tomorrow if your child attends school 10 days in a row they will earn a $200 gift card. They must be present for each class period and can only miss a class or school if they attend a school sponsored event. Also, please know that we are starting our second session of paid literacy tutoring at each high school. Students received this information through their District email tonight. Students can earn up to $2,000 by attending the sessions at their school. The deadline to sign up is February 11th and we will notify students if they gained a spot by February 13th through their
district’s email. Thank you for continuing to support your child’s education and success.

Important Message Regarding Security
Posted by Amy Cronkite on 10/16/2023Dear DPSCD Families and Students,
Over the recent school years, we are ensuring that all students have ID cards. These cards allow us to track student ridership on yellow buses, speed up student lunch distribution, identify students with allergies for the cafeteria, and help keep our schools safe. The ID cards provide us with real time information about when and where students board and exit buses in case a student is missing. This data is only shared with transportation staff. Most students have received their ID cards. If they lose their card, then they can still ride the bus, but they must receive a replacement at their school at no cost. The ID card will be used for high school students to continue to ride at no cost on city buses.
Please ensure your child has a student ID card and brings it to school every day.
