DSD Phones Home
Parents/guardians and students.: Many of you have already received phone calls, emails, Google Classroom invites, or other communication from classroom teachers. In the coming days you will receive contact from one of our District paraprofessionals. Paras will be working with teachers and administration to provide an extra layer of support to students at this critical time. We want to make sure that no one is left behind during this closure. That includes academics, as well as food services, material needs, social emotional supports, or questions for the school. We will continue to refine the process in the coming days. If you get a call from a staff member or from an unfamiliar number, please know why we are calling, and respond as soon as possible. We will all get through this together, and together, we will work to help students learn.
