Dallas ISD Parent Survey Opens February 20, 2023
The annual Parent Survey will open on Monday, February 20, 2023. This important survey will obtain feedback to help improve schools in the district.
The survey will be sent via email to parents for whom addresses are available in PowerSchool.
To ensure fidelity, parents will enter their child’s seven-digit ID number. They will complete a survey for each campus in which they have children enrolled. If more than one child is enrolled at a campus, parents will submit the ID number of the oldest child at that campus. The survey will be available in English, Spanish, Amharic, Arabic, Burmese, Swahili, and Vietnamese.
If you have any questions about how your feedback will be used, you may contact the Dallas ISD Office of Family and Community Engagement by calling 972.925.3505.
If you experience technical difficulties with the survey, you may contact the Evaluation and Assessment survey team at surveyresearch@dallasisd.org.
The survey can be accessed at this link beginning Monday, February 20th: https://dallasisd.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_39OBwCMIDuxRpCS?Q_CHL=qr
Talent Show
Our Annual Reilly Talent Show auditions will be held in April. NOW is the time to begin gathering your performing partners and working on your audition pieces. Auditionees are scored and ranked on four things: preparedness, confidence, energy, and audience engagement. Acts that do not make 12/20 points average score in the audition phase usually do not make it to the talent show stage, so work hard from now until April if you're interested in performing. Good luck!
