Communication!!!!
  
Welcome to the start of a new school year! It's good to be back with our students and teachers. With this longer than normal summer, starting a new school year this week has been invigorating for everyone in the organization.

I'd like to start the year describing all the ways you can connect with school leaders. With the advent of social media, DASD principals and administrators have a wide variety of communication tools at their fingertips.  You no longer have to wait for the Friday backpack to find out what is happening in your child's school.
