Dear DBH Families,
Thank you for joining us for Back to School Night! We are grateful to every family who came out to connect with our teachers, school staff, and community partners.
This year, we welcomed 75+ families and 13 community vendors and partners who shared valuable resources and support with our school community. Families also had the opportunity to meet school staff, visit classrooms, and connect directly with teachers.
Your participation helps us build stronger relationships, strengthen our school culture, and create meaningful experiences for our students and families.
We want to hear from you!
Please take a few minutes to complete our Back to School Night Post-Event Survey and tell us about your experience. Your feedback will help us plan and improve future family events.
