Denver South Ravens

Hello Ravens,

Thanks for a great first week of school. We hope you were able to find your way around the building and connect with your teachers. 

We want to thank our students for working with us as we navigate the implemented phone policy. Please remind your students that phones cannot be seen in the hallways while we are in classes. If a student has their phones out, it will be confiscated for the remainder of the day by the deans. Linked here is the policy for review. 

Monday and Tuesday we will have picture day! Students will go to the auditorium with their Math classes to get photos taken. 

Next week we will also host our back to school night on September 3rd from 5 -7pm on the front lawn.

Parents and students please avoid driving fast into our parking lots during pick up and drop off. Our East lot sometimes has a lot of athletics happenings going on and we would like all to be mindful of students and staff trying to get to their vehicles. 

Have a great weekend!

Principal Goss
