exceptional community involvement
Volunteers major factor in student success

Parents and the military community are actively involved in all DDESS schools. Base commands provide release time, when appropriate, so that soldiers, airmen, sailors and Marines can contribute to the growth of their communities.

Being part of the same military family provides unique opportunities for DDESS students, their parents, and other members of the community:

  • Students take pride in their schoolwork when they see the interest of their parents and other adults in their community.
  • Parents enjoy the reassurance of always being welcome in their children's school.
  • Students learn to respect the work of service members when they regularly see uniformed parents and community volunteers at school.
  • Community members who volunteer have the satisfaction of knowing they are helping military dependents, including childern whose parents are deployed.

Military leaders know that the education received by dependents of U.S. military personnel is a vital quality-of-life issue. Many commissioned officers volunteer for DDESS because they realize the future vital contributions of the children they help. This highly valued involvement by military officers is recognized by DDESS school administration.
