Q1 New Family Survey Results are in!

Thank you to the 63 new families who completed our first-quarter New Family Survey. Your feedback helps us make DCS a great place for every scholar. We're excited to share the ​data with our full community. 

What’s going well

  • 98% of families agree or strongly agree that they feel safe having their child at DCS.
  • 100% say the school communicates with families in multiple ways.
  • 100% say it’s easy to communicate with their child’s teachers.
  • 86% are very likely to recommend DCS to another family.

Many of you shared how much your children are learning and growing, and how much you appreciate their patient, caring teachers. Thank you for those kind words!

What we heard

You told us you’d like more information about what your child is learning in class and how you can support their progress at home.

What we’re doing

  • Parent Conferences are tomorrow and Friday. All scholars in elementary school and select scholars in Middle and High school will hold parent conferences. If you would like to schedule a parent conference and have not yet done so, please reach out to your scholars teacher.
  • Our Elementary and Middle School curriculum days are also this week! This is a great opportunity to see what your scholar is learning in class and ask questions. If you can't attend, please reach out to your scholars' teachers for resources via ParentSquare.
  • Report cards are coming! Report cards will be released on 10/19/26. Communicate with your scholars' teachers directly on ParentSquare with questions and concerns.
  • Check your Principal’s weekly newsletter for information on unit launches and Interim Assessments. 


We’re grateful to be on this journey with you. If you have questions or ideas, please reach out to your child’s teacher or the front office anytime.
