Top Five Things You Need to Know
ICYMI: DPS Has Switched to a New Messaging Platform
Denver Public Schools has switched to a new messaging platform! District text messages will now come from 98900. Phone calls will come from 720-423-3000 or the school's front office phone number. Emails will come from a DPSK12.org email address.
All MailChimp, SchoolMessenger and Constant Contact accounts have been deactivated. If you have not received training on Thrillshare Alerts (SchoolMessenger replacement), and if needed, Thrillshare Engage (Constant Contact and MailChimp replacement), contact Jacob Turner to set up a training session. If you have received training and want to grow your understanding of our new platform, explore Thrillshare’s knowledge base materials.
