The DDSD Family Ambassador Program is a free program, designed to empower families as essential partners in their child's education. We encourage educators and families to work together to support every aspect of a child's growth. By equipping families with the necessary tools and support, we enhance their engagement and knowledge of the school system. With increased confidence, families know they have the power to be decision-makers, improve communication, and ultimately drive their children to success. *
