    DPSCD believes that our parent's involvement in their child's education is key to high academic performance and school improvement. With that, the Parent Academy offers our parents FREE and CONVENIENT classes providing our parents with the tools and skiils to build parent's confidence and capacity in supporting our students academically, socially, emotionally and overall healthy development of the entire family.
