Tis vision statement for Des Moines Public Schools is more than a handful of words. It is the thread that should run through the work each of us does every day, from in the classroom for our students to the operational support provided to our schools to the management of our district. It also applies to how we present ourselves to the public. I’m pleased to provide this updated edition of the DMPS Brand & Graphics Guidelines Manual. DMPS is Iowa’s largest provider of public education. We are one of the region’s largest employers. We operate more locations than any other entity in the state’s capital city. We make an impression on tens of thousands of people each and every day. By applying visual standards to how DMPS is presented to the public, we enhance both our recognition, our association with world-class quality, and our reputation as a great educational institution. A great deal of work has gone into improving our visual recognition in recent years, from new web sites to school marquee signs to printed materials and more. I look forward to the continuation of this efort, and appreciate your support and assistance in making it a part of our overall work in becoming the model for urban education.
