Questions & Responses from Last Week's Town Hall

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. 

ICYMI: DSST's College Fair Highlights!

In the midst of the big reopening news, let’s not forget the awesome virtual College Fair that juniors and seniors across the network attended on September 25. Nearly 100 colleges from around the world were in attendance, ready to share information about their schools and answer the many astute questions from DSST students.  

Join us for Affinity Groups on Thursday, October 8!

Come join us at this month’s Affinity Groups! Affinity Groups are a member led space that provides a unique opportunity to build a cross-campus community. They are an intentionally safe space for staff to come together with people who have the same identity (race, gender, sexual orientation, social class, ability, family structure).
