D-T Families,
I hope this finds you enjoying MUCH BETTER weather than last week. I appreciate your patience as we navigated the week.
I am writing to ask for 10 minutes of your time to complete a survey for D-T Public Schools. Based on last year's results, we are working on improving our communication efforts and specifically the information provided regarding post-secondary opportunities for students. To date, we have met twice with a parent-advisory group that provided specific examples that we have implemented:
- Consistent and predictable newsletters from multiple parts of the building
- Community coffee at consistent intervals
- Poster-sized newsletters displayed in the building
- 10-day activity outlooks
Following this year's survey we will convene our parent-advisory team again to continue our improvement methods. Please take 10 minutes to complete the survey and support our efforts to serve each student with a quality education in a positive and safe learning environment.

Sincerely,
Dr. Jeremy Braden
Superintendent
