We know how much pride you take in supporting your individual school, and we’d love your help in sharing that enthusiasm with future DCSD families.

Online platforms like Niche.com and GreatSchools.org are where many families look when choosing a school community. By leaving a review about your positive school experiences, you can help showcase the great work happening in our DCSD schools and highlight the dedication of our DCSD staff, students and families.

Here’s how you can help:

1. Visit Niche.com or GreatSchools.org

Coyote Creek Elementary School will be using a variety of instructional websites and/or apps throughout the 2026-27 school year and your student(s) will use some of them. These tools are not created by the district, however, each resource has been vetted by our teachers, evaluated according to district guidelines, and approved by the school administration for the learning opportunities they provide. Each of these resources offers students the opportunity to share their knowledge and understanding of a topic in a variety of ways, including photos, drawings, text, and recorded voice. These tools allow us to teach and reinforce reading and math skills, communication, critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and more. To review these sites and/or opt your student out of using these sites please click here to review and print the letter. The letter should then be returned to the Coyote Creek front office. Thank you,
