We launched a new website over the summer! As part of the launch, we have a two-month trial with Scout, our new DPS 109 AI-powered search puppy. He can search the website for you in just seconds. Give him a try and use the provided tool to rate him. If not enough people use him between August and September, he may not stick around! Just go to dps109.org and click on the little circle with him tucked into the bottom left corner.

Throughout the year, we will share photos and videos from our schools and community capturing the magic of learning! Below, the first of many crosstown showdowns on the court between Caruso and Shepard this year, duking it out in volleyball!
