Throughout the month of September, DSST Team Members had an opportunity to connect on the best strategies to support Caregivers throughout the network both during virtual learning and in-person learning. Take a look at the DSST Caregiver Focus Group Findings and Recommendations as we continuously advocate as a network in putting people and families first.
Thank you for joining us last Friday for our all-staff Town Hall, where we covered details on our decision to partially reopen schools after Fall Break. We received over fifty thoughtful and timely questions during the Town Hall. And, while we were able to address a handful of your questions, there were many that we were unable to get to during the live meeting. Please see a summary of our conversation that includes our team’s responses to the questions and themes we were unable to cover during the live event.

Did you know that September is National Suicide Prevention Month? This is a sensitive topic, but especially during these challenging times, we want to ensure that our staff and families have all the support they need to understand the warning signs and access the resources available.
As you likely know, we've been advocating for a Noel High School for our Bulldogs in the Far Northeast. From turning out hundreds of community members at DPS board meetings to gathering 1,000+ signatures on a petition (thank you for signing and showing your support!) the journey to open a Noel High School continues and we aim to keep you in the loop. This article highlights this work as well as a board meeting held earlier this week where the opening of a Noel High School was discussed. We will do everything in our power to open a Noel High School that will offer the same high-quality education that we strive to provide our middle school students.
