Parent teacher communication in the Elementary (KG-grade 5) is via Seesaw, which is a student e-portfolio as well as Google Classroom.
Elementary parents can also expect to receive direct emails from teachers, and a bi-weekly elementary e-newsletter via MailChimp.
The Elementary School is also active on their Twitter account: https://twitter.com/DAAElementary.
Middle & High School

Middle School Parents can expect to receive grade level newsletters every two weeks, alternated with the DAA SPOTS Newsletter.
Teachers across grade levels also use Google Classroom to connect with students and parents.
PowerSchool is our electronic student management system where student information is collected and stored. This platform is accessible to Middle and High School Parents for access to student information like grades and assignment scores. You will receive an email from PowerSchool with the Access ID of your child in the final week of August. If you have not received this email by the second week of school, please contact psparenthelp@powerschool.com. The parent account guide and how to set up your account can be found here.
