Parent Association

Welcome!

Connecting families and cultivating a vibrant school community
 

The DDS Parent Association is a thriving network of current parents and legal guardians that plays an essential role in fostering a strong and supportive school community. By organizing engaging events throughout the year and promoting parent involvement in weekly walks, meditation sessions, and coffee gatherings, the PA actively cultivates meaningful connections among families, students, faculty, administration, staff, and trustees.

Each class at DDS has a set of class parents who are responsible for serving as liaisons in nonacademic matters between parents and teachers, coordinating class activities, and encouraging parents to attend and participate in PA meetings and activities.
