what people are saying about dcps
Bonds are formed between the teachers and the students
and their families and I am grateful to those teachers
who have invested time and energy in my child. But I am
especially appreciative of Mrs. Poe and Mrs. Steele who
have been the most significant middle school influences
in the process of making my son into the strong, capable
student that he is becoming today.

I
would like to thank Mr. Maxey, Mr. Robinson, and the
entire staff at Ribault Middle School for all you have
done to help the students accomplish so much. You have
praised them, now its time for you to get some
recognition.

I am
writing to let you know what a wonderful principal you
have at Douglas Anderson School of the Arts…my son is
very fortunate to be able to attend such a great school.
I too, am very happy with my son’s successes while
attending this school.
Nancy M., Parent
I am
writing this letter to tell you about a teacher who
deserves recognition. Mrs. Portnoy has been teacher for
over 30 years; yet she has the spirit, enthusiasm, and
motivation that’s you would expect from a teacher
straight out of college. She goes beyond the standard
education requirements daily and makes optional
enrichment events mandatory.
