Hi Parents!

We truly value your voice and partnership in supporting our students. As we wrap up the spring semester, we’re asking all families to take a few minutes to complete our Spring Parent Survey.

Your feedback helps us understand what’s working, where we can grow, and how we can better serve you and your child. Every response directly impacts decisions for next school year—so your input really matters!

Please take a moment to fill it out here: https://dallasisd.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_erMjQSpDuN99cKq

Thank you for being such an important part of our school community. We appreciate you more than you know!
