The Q2 survey is live: Action Item -Families and students have the opportunity to update their preference for whether they want their student to attend school online only, in person only, or through a combination of the two.   

The survey will also provide an opportunity to modify their student’s online learning schedule if parents prefer online learning in the second quarter. The school principal will review the survey results and engage the entire school community on possible schedule changes for online learning, face to face learning, or a combination of the two.  Parents are encouraged to please discuss the survey with their child and complete it through the child’s email address or at https://dpscd.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6LIdorsUsXKcPoV

Families can see the available schedule options on the DPCSD website here.
