The beginning of the 2018-19 school year was not easy for the Cole Middle School community. As many of you know, a student was severely injured, and the effects were felt by students, staff, and families alike.

They are the two-time consecutive championship winning Cole Middle School soccer team!

Here's a friendly reminder to complete the mid-year survey by Friday, November 30. This survey contains two parts. The first part is anonymous and will answer a very important question: How are you doing this year? People are at the heart of DSST, and your feedback will help understand how DSST can better support all of our team members. In the past, results from this survey have driven our approaches to fulfillment, equity, and many other aspects of DSST's Core Model.The survey will remain open through Friday, Nov. 30, and we anticipate it should take about 15-20 minutes to complete.
Don’t forget: If you would like to nominate a fellow team member -- or several -- for our Core Value Awards, nominations are due Friday, Dec. 7.
