Too often, a home visit from a teacher means one thing to a family: trouble. But with the Parent Teacher Home Visit (PTHV) Program, the goal is to start by building a strong and positive relationship between the family and the school. The visits begin with the teacher asking about the family’s hopes and dreams for their child. By involving the parents and families, we create a better chance of success for students.

The Family and Community Engagement department offers resources where DPS community and families are able to access parent and family tips, tools, webinars, and trainings to support, advocate, and engage your students from a click away! 

The mission of DPS Volunteer Services is to provide resources to the DPS Community that support the engagement of volunteers in ensuring that Every Child Succeeds.

The Collaborative School Committee (CSC) brings together families, staff and community members to create and implement a plan to promote high achievement within a school. This committee meets on a regular basis throughout the school year and is an opportunity for key stakeholders to have a voice in their school. Colorado law requires all schools to have a CSC to increase the amount of accountability and family involvement in our schools.
