Kicking off the school year together with Welcome Back Bash 2026

On Saturday, Aug. 8, hundreds of DSST students and families gathered at DSST: Montview for an afternoon of fun, connection and celebration at our 2026 Welcome Back Bash. With backpacks, school supplies, live entertainment, community resources and plenty of sweet treats, the event was a joyful way to kick off the 2026-27 school year.

Here’s a look at some of the highlights from the day!

Families from across the DSST network came together to reconnect with friends, meet school staff, and celebrate the start of another year of learning. From the moment guests arrived, the energy was high and the excitement was contagious.
