2020-2021 Back to School Parent Survey
As we prepare for the 2020-2021 school year, DeSoto ISD has organized a task force of teachers and leaders within the district to collectively review the guidelines and criteria for a safe return to schools as issued by governmental agencies such as the Dallas County Health and Human Services, the Centers for Disease Control, and the Texas Education Agency, among other entities. While the international response to COVID-19 continues to evolve, DeSoto ISD wants to ensure that we consider the sentiments and perspectives of our families,students and staff as we prepare to make decisions regarding how we will facilitate learning in a way that is viable, safe and best supports our families. Please note that the survey below will be used to gauge early sentiments and perspectives related to DeSoto ISD’s return to school for the 2020-2021 school year. While we deeply value and consider the feedback of all segments of our school community, the data collected in this survey will be considered in conjunction with guidance from the above-mentioned entities. If you are a staff member or employee of DeSoto ISD and have children who attendDeSoto ISD schools, you are encouraged to complete both the Parent and Staff survey.
