Have you attended our Creating Connections values-based leadership program? This one-day, off-site opportunity is designed to build professional and personal skills, while also creating relationships with DPS educators and leaders across the district. Participants will engage in topics and discussions about the history of DPS, team dynamics, effective communication, why our Shared Core Values matter and how we all contribute to our vision of Every Child Succeeds. All DPS team members are encouraged to attend a Creating Connections session. Register now for the Oct. 21 program here. Sign in using your DPS username (first name_last name) and password.
