Here is the latest update from Principal Gretchen!
Here are older Tuesday Telegraphs if you need to catch up.
Dear Home Link Families,
There is so much packed into this week's edition of the Tuesday Telegraph (attached). Please take note of the important dates listed as we don't want anyone to miss out on all the fun! If you would prefer a printed copy, please stop by the offices at either campus and we can provide that to you.
Have you heard about the annual pumpkin decorating contest? Well this isn't your typical pumpkin decorating contest...directions have been placed in all the parent mailboxes at Deer Park. You can also read them online here. We are so excited to see the creativity of our HomeLink community!
Parent/Family Survey:
Our district values your feedback! Parent/family engagement is one of our goals again this year, and we want to learn more about how we can best serve you and your child(ren). We are currently surveying Deer Park School District families to gain insight and your perspective on our school and district effectiveness. We need your feedback to ensure we continue to provide high-quality, rigorous learning experiences that meet the needs of our learners and prepare them for the workforce, college, and career.
To administer these surveys, we have partnered with Panorama Education to conduct our 2025 Family Survey. Panorama safeguards your privacy, keeping your responses anonymous. The survey will be a valuable source of information for us as we work to ensure our schools and district goals and areas of focus are on target and purposeful.
You may complete the survey online between now and Friday, October 17 using a computer, tablet, or smartphone. You will take 1 survey for each building/program your children are enrolled in. For example, if you have a 2nd grader and 6th grader, you will take 2 surveys, one for DPE and one for DPMS; only 1 survey per building is requested. Each survey will take about 14 minutes to complete. Link to the family/parent survey: https://surveys.panoramaed.com/dpsd/8421932041/surveys
At Home Link, we will not be surveying our students, but encourage you to work together on the family survey. This survey really does help us to celebrate the areas we are strong in and work on the areas we need to improve.
We thank you in advance for your thoughtful responses. If you have any questions about the survey administration, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Thank you all for your enthusiastic support!
Have a great week!
Ms. Gretchen
