Download the DPS App
Hey Grizzly Families!
Denver Public Schools has launched the new two-way messaging feature, Rooms, and the Denver Public Schools (DPS) app! Rooms exists within the new DPS app, which means you no longer have to use multiple accounts for different tools to keep up with your child’s teachers and their coursework! The DPS app and Rooms are meant to replace different parent-teacher communication tools used by schools in the past.
How to Download the DPS App and Sign In to Rooms
Download the Denver Public Schools app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.*
Once installed, open the DPS app, then tap “Rooms,” then “Continue to sign in.”
Type in your guardian email address or phone number.
If you typed in your email address, tap “Log in with code.” If you typed in your phone number, you will automatically receive a code. Type this code in when prompted.
You will be prompted to select your preferred communication language.
You will be automatically signed into your students’ classroom in Rooms. You will now start to receive messages about your student through the DPS app from their teacher.
To learn more about the DPS app and for a step-by-step "how to" guide, click the links below:
*If you do not have a device where you can download the DPS app, access the DPS app from a computer. You can log in via browser at rooms.thrillshare.com.

Collaborative School Committee (CSC) Meeting
We will have our first Collaborative School Committee (CSC) Meeting on September 18th from 5-6:30pm. We would love to have at least 3 middle school and 3 high school guardians join us on that committee this year. The committee helps guide in budgeting, school schedule, program development, enrollment priorities, school vision, and priority setting for each school year. If you are interested in being a part, please reach out to Miriam Lara for more information (miriam_lara@dpsk12.net).

Parent Advisory Committee Meeting
We will have our first Parent Advisory Committee meeting at 5:30pm on Thursday, September 11 in the library during Back to School Night. Parents of our multi-lingual learners (MLL’s) are invited to learn more about MLL programing, scheduling for students, our test results from the 24-25 school year, and what your individual child’s scores mean. We hope to see you that evening.

Chronic Absenteeism
You may have received communication this week regarding chronic absenteeism. Reminder, a student who is absent more than 10% of the school year is considered chronically absent, whether those absences are excused or not. If you have questions, we’d love to talk with you more at Back to School night or any other time. Call the main office to schedule a time if Back to School Night doesn’t work.

Pick-up/Drop-off
Please make sure you are picking up and dropping off your students on the east side of the building. The west side is for DPS transportation and busses only. Please see the map for more details.
