DRES PTA Parent Survey-English and Español

Thank you for supporting the DRES PTA this school year! As we start this school year, we know it's going to be very different. We're living in a virtual school environment, not just for distance learning, but also for social opportunities. Now that we've had several weeks to experience distance learning schedules and technologies, please take a moment to complete this brief survey.

DRES PTA is working with Administration and the Family Involvement Team to seek ways to support our families. We anticipate new challenges and new ways to learn for our children and for us as parents. We would like to understand your concerns, needs, and interests as we start the year.

PTA Deep Run Spiritwear Sale
We know that this year might look different than what we’re all accustomed to, but that doesn’t mean our school spirit should be minimized. If anything, it means that we should be putting even more of our energy into making sure our Deep Run pride is loud, strong, and here to stay. We know Spiritwear is more than just t-shirts and sweatshirts. It’s a connection when students need it most.  Spiritwear gets students excited about our school, it gets them feeling connected to their friends, and it helps them feel grounded in the community.  Please join us in spreading excitement about what this school year has to offer and order your Spiritwear online today! https://dres2020.itemorder. com/
 
The Deep Run Online Store is now open for business. And it’ll be open 24 hours a day for the next few weeks through November 9th!  Share the link to the store with your friends. There’s power in numbers, and we’d really love to see our whole Deep Run community, parents & alumni included, showing off their new gear!  All orders will ship direct to the purchaser.

    Halloween 2020

    Although we recognize that Halloween activities held during the school day have been a long-standing tradition at our school, the decision has been made to not hold Halloween activities during the virtual instructional day this school year in any HCPSS school. This allows all students, whether they recognize Halloween or not, to fully participate and engage in instruction on October 30th.
