Hello DMPS Families,

This spring DMPS is asking families to provide us with feedback on your perception of the experiences, environment, barriers, and safety for your children at their schools. The results of this survey provide DMPS with critical information to better serve our families. The information from this survey is gathered by a third-party vendor and is completely anonymous to both the vendor and DMPS. You will not be asked to provide any personally identifiable information.
