DRES PTA Parent Survey-English and Español
Thank you for supporting the DRES PTA this school year! As we start this school year, we know it's going to be very different. We're living in a virtual school environment, not just for distance learning, but also for social opportunities. Now that we've had several weeks to experience distance learning schedules and technologies, please take a moment to complete this brief survey.
DRES PTA is working with Administration and the Family Involvement Team to seek ways to support our families. We anticipate new challenges and new ways to learn for our children and for us as parents. We would like to understand your concerns, needs, and interests as we start the year.

Halloween 2020
Although we recognize that Halloween activities held during the school day have been a long-standing tradition at our school, the decision has been made to not hold Halloween activities during the virtual instructional day this school year in any HCPSS school. This allows all students, whether they recognize Halloween or not, to fully participate and engage in instruction on October 30th.
