Testimonials
We love all the classes that you offered. Thank you for continuing to provide great resources for the after-school program.
I would like you to add more new classes at DPIE. We like the Money Matter class and right now our kids are enjoying the class. Good to add a class with financials like that, then at least they can learn some basic.
Appreciate DPIE and all of the awesome classes you bring to the community!
We are grateful that these diverse classes are offered at DUSD and always changing/improving. Thank you!!
Over everything else, the quality of the classes and my son’s enjoyment are the most important things to me. I also really appreciate the convenience, and the diversity of classes offered. Thank you, DPIE!
