Family Engagement
The DPS Foundation meets DPS families where they are to build community, amplify their voices and support them as they advocate for their children's wellbeing.
Our Programs
Sembrando Raices
Led by our Latinx parents, this project has 30+ families actively participating in information and resource sharing and advocacy for our public schools.
“It’s a space where we can all contribute. It benefits us and our families. We come to learn, to receive information that helps us; that unites us. We have found our communality, which is the education and the welfare of our children." —
