Parents are a very important component of the PDS community. We want to provide you with essential, accurate and up-to-date information. To that end, this section of the school Web site is designed as the place where you can access "the basics" that will help you understand the school culture.

By clicking on Who's Who, you will learn who does what at PDS so that should you have questions, you can quickly and easily find the person, office or division that can be most helpful. The This Week at PDS page gives you immediate access not only to the school's weekly calendar but also the monthly and yearlong calendars (including vacation and major events/activities versions). After all, we don't want you to miss anything! You'll also know what's for lunch on any given day and can download school forms or letters as the need arises.

Once you familiarize yourself with the "Parents" section, we urge you to learn more about the school by visiting the rest of the Web site, including "About" for information on such areas as school governance and history; "Academics" for course and faculty listings; and "Development" for a description of our critical fundraising endeavors.

We are always eager to receive feedback on any aspect of the Web site as it continues to evolve. Please contact the development and communications office with with your comments or suggestions.

Please note that the PDSPO files formerly located on the PDS Web site (including the PDSPO weekly newsletter, information on volunteer opportunities, etc.) have been moved to the PDS portal, to which all current PDS parents have access.
