Community Message re: school safety

Dear Dragon families,

School safety has been on many of our minds as tragic events have unfolded in our district and across our country. As you may be aware, on March 23, the Board of Education tasked Dr. Marrero with developing a districtwide long-term operational safety plan. During the April 17th Board of Education meeting, he provided a high level overview regarding the timeline and opportunities for engagement with stakeholders. I know your voices as parents/guardians are critical to the development of the long-term operational safety plan.

With that in mind, today DPS launched a written survey to gather initial perspectives on your feelings of safety and security as well as your thoughts on what should be the safety priorities for our long-term operational safety plan. This survey is open now through Friday, April 28 at 5 p.m.

Please complete this survey to share your thoughts:

Please know that safety is my top priority for students as we continually strive to create a warm, welcoming and inclusive school community.

In partnership,

Principal Mercer
