2025-26 DPS Enrollment Guide - Secondary

When our students and schools thrive, we all bene t.

DPS Foundation galvanizes and mobilizes our entire community to invest in crucial resources and programs that have the greatest impact on student well-being and success, while supporting families and educators. When we all join together in this work, our students become the future leaders we need, and our city thrives. Join us.

The DPS Foundation helps ensure that investment in our schools is directed in the most effective, impactful and lasting way. Public funds are simply insufficient to provide an equitable education for every child.

The more than 84,000 students in DPS are our future leaders, innovators, contributors and change-makers. And every single one of them deserves a quality public education. It takes all of us to ensure our students have what they need to succeed.

Our work impacts students in a variety of ways. From afterschool programs to workforce development, we help ensure students are ready to become contributing members of society.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

CHOOSING A SCHOOL IN DPS

Denver Public Schools takes pride in the school options available to our families. DPS believes all families should have equitable access to the schools they feel are the best fit for their students, regardless of their background or address. Below are some things to think about when starting your school search.

FIRST, TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOL. Incoming students in kindergarten through 12th grade are guaranteed a spot at their neighborhood – or boundary – school. You can determine your neighborhood school by typing in your address at schoolfinder.dpsk12.org

IF YOU’RE INTERESTED IN ATTENDING A SCHOOL OTHER THAN THE SCHOOL YOU ARE CURRENTLY ATTENDING, THERE ARE SEVERAL WAYS YOU CAN RESEARCH YOUR OPTIONS:

■ Our enrollment guides contain information on every school within DPS, including programs, contact information and more. To help you organize your search, the schools are divided into five general regions of the city.

■ Visit schoolfinder.dpsk12.org . You can search schools by address, programs or alphabetical list.

■ Talk to schools that interest you. There’s no substitute for speaking directly with school leaders about their programs and culture. Contact individual schools for more information.

Once you have created your list of preferred schools for the 2025-26 school year, you’re ready to take part in SchoolChoice, our one-deadline, oneapplication enrollment process. The SchoolChoice Round 1 application window is Jan. 15 to Feb. 18, 2025. See page 4 for more information .

TYPES OF SCHOOLS

DISTRICT-MANAGED SCHOOLS

Operated, supervised and supported by DPS and its Board of Education.

■ Some district-managed schools are innovation schools, which have been granted status by the DPS Board of Education and the Colorado Department of Education, providing increased flexibility with education programs, staffing, schedules and budgets to best meet students’ needs.

■ District-managed schools also include some specialized schools or programs, which emphasize a particular style of learning or educational need, or serve students with a common area of interest, and may provide transportation to students who live outside the school’s neighborhood. Examples include Arts Focus, Montessori, Highly Gifted and Talented and Dual Language schools or programs.

CHARTER SCHOOLS

Independently operated public schools governed by an independent Board of Directors.

■ All charter schools are accountable to the DPS Board of Education and to the same academic performance standards as district-managed schools.

■ Charter schools have flexibility to design their own educational programs and school-based policies.

■ All charter schools are committed to equitably serving all students within the district. Some charter schools give a priority to students who live within a designated area.

PATHWAYS SCHOOLS

■ PATHWAYS SCHOOLS may be district managed or charter. Pathways schools offer intensive academic and affective supports that lead students to a diploma and connect them to postsecondary opportunities. Most pathways schools provide the opportunity to earn more credits per year than traditional settings.

ENROLLMENT AND SCHOOLCHOICE

WEB: schoolchoice.dpsk12.org

PHONE: 720-423-3493

Colorado is an open enrollment state, and DPS strives to make the process of applying to and enrolling in schools as easy as possible. Whether your student attends their neighborhood boundary school or chooses a different school in Denver, DPS believes that all students should have equitable access to their preferred schools. Incoming students are guaranteed enrollment in their neighborhood school, or a school in their enrollment zone. However, any student who wants or needs to attend a different school the following year may take part in SchoolChoice, our one-deadline, one-application open enrollment process. Enrollment for preschool students at a DPS program is not guaranteed; preschool families need to apply on a yearly basis.

FIND YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOL

If you are a Denver resident, have not “choiced” out of your neighborhood boundary school and need to enroll your student for the current school year, you may enroll directly at the neighborhood school that serves your address. You can visit schoolfinder.dpsk12.org to determine your neighborhood school. To enroll, contact the school office directly for registration dates and required documents.

Some parts of Denver are served by enrollment zones, or geographic areas where students are guaranteed a seat at one of several schools, not just one particular school. If you recently moved and reside within Denver, and you now live in an enrollment zone or would like to attend a school other than your neighborhood school for the current school year, please complete an application by creating an account and logging in at dpsschoolchoice.my.site.com.

SCHOOLCHOICE

If you want to enroll your student in a DPS school other than your neighborhood school (or the school you are currently attending) for the following school year, you may take part in SchoolChoice. During SchoolChoice, families submit one unified application per student, on which they rank their top school preferences. DPS then matches students to schools based on those preferences, as well as school admission priorities and available space. Our system is designed to maximize the number of students getting their most-preferred school.

Round 1 of SchoolChoice for the 2025-26 school year opens at 10 a.m. Jan. 15, 2025 and closes at 4 p.m. Feb. 18, 2025. You can create an account and apply to your preferred schools at dpsschoolchoice.my.site.com anytime during the application window.

SCHOOL PROGRAMS

ADVANCEMENT

VIA INDIVIDUAL DETERMINATION (AVID) is a K-12 college readiness program that is engaging, rigorous and studentcentered while teaching students to think critically, collaborate and set their own high expectations for their futures. As a key strategy in closing the opportunity gap, AVID students are held accountable to the highest standards with academic and social support to reach their full potential. AVID prepares students for postsecondary success by equipping them with essential skills, academic norms and college knowledge so they feel empowered to take ownership of their education. AVID is building-wide at the elementary and middle school level and an additional class at the high school level.

ADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP) classes help high school students prepare for college in a rigorous, college-like experience. AP is a curriculum created by the College Board offering standardized courses that are generally recognized as equivalent to undergraduate college courses. Students who obtain qualifying national AP exam scores may be able to receive credit and advanced placement at participating colleges and universities, saving them both time and money during their college years. AP classes can be accessed in all grades of high school, 9-12. Qualifying scores on AP exams are one of the options that can demonstrate math and English competency, which is a graduation requirement. Students will receive weighted GPA credit with a passing grade in the class.

ARMY JUNIOR RESERVE OFFICERS’

TRAINING CORPS (JROTC) is an exciting program offered to high school students that teaches character education, student achievement, health and wellness, leadership and diversity. In addition to promoting citizenship, JROTC also prepares

students for postsecondary options including college or the workforce. Through cadet-run programs and team competitions, students learn valuable professional skills like leadership, teamwork, time management, selfdiscipline and communication. JROTC counts as physical education credit toward graduation requirements.

ARTS PROGRAMS IN DPS SCHOOLS embody academic arts (visual art, theater, dance, music) exploration and opportunities for student engagement, personal expression and cognitive development.

ACCELERATING STUDENTS THROUGH CONCURRENT ENROLLMENT (ASCENT) is a fifth-year high school program that allows eligible DPS students the opportunity to attend one year of college for free! Students participate in ASCENT the year following 12th grade and can choose to attend one of eight colleges in the Denver area. ASCENT students receive free tuition and fees while also receiving wrap-around advising and support. Graduating 12th graders are eligible if they meet DPS graduation requirements, ASCENT requirements and are college ready. Students who graduate from an Early College or P-TECH school are not eligible for ASCENT or TREP according to Colorado state law.

To learn more about ASCENT, visit collegeandcareer.dpsk12.org/ascent

BLENDED LEARNING combines online digital media with traditional classroom methods.

CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION (CTE) are Career and College Success programs that offer students an opportunity to enroll in career related educational pathways (school programs with designated

courses, aligned to a career). The pathways are designed to offer all students an industry certification or college certificate upon completion. Through courses that are real-world, project-based, and career aligned, students learn professional skills and are empowered to generate solutions. For information on CTE programs and pathways available at each school, visit collegeandcareer.dpsk12.org

CAREER DEVELOPMENT

is offered to students through a series of Career and College Success work-based learning programs. These programs are designed to provide K-12 students with career exploration and development opportunities that enable them to discover their passions and interests and make informed decisions about their future career path. DPS partners with businesses, nonprofit organizations and government agencies to offer work-based learning experiences such as professional guest speakers, job shadows, internships, mentoring, apprenticeships and more. In addition to continued implementation of work-based learning programming, the Career Development team supports students through meaningful career conversations so students can make informed decisions that support their career goals. For information on Career Development programs and pathways available at each school, visit collegeandcareer.dpsk12.org.

COLLEGE LEVEL EXAMINATION

PROGRAM (CLEP) CLEP exams are College Board exams designed to test students in subjects they already know. Students who pass a CLEP exam earn college credits equivalent to passing a college course(s), allowing students to use CLEP tests to save time and money toward a college degree. CLEP testing can be done at any time in the high school trajectory of a student. For more information, email concurrent_enrollment@dpsk12.org

COMMUNITY HUBS provide services that support the social, emotional, physical and academic needs of adults and children so that all students will

have an equal chance to learn and thrive. The Community Hubs serve all adults and children, not only DPS students.

COMPETENCY-BASED LEARNING allows students the flexibility to progress as they demonstrate mastery of academic content, regardless of time, place or pace of learning.

CONCURRENT ENROLLMENT (CE) AND DUAL ENROLLMENT (DE) provides provides students the opportunity to enroll in college courses, simultaneously earning high school and college credit.

Concurrent enrollment is defined as the simultaneous enrollment of a qualified student in a district high school and in one or more postsecondary courses, including academic or career and technical education courses, which may include coursework related to apprenticeship programs or internship programs, at an institution of higher education. Concurrent Enrollment must be offered at no tuition cost to qualified students. Courses must apply to developmental education or a postsecondary degree, certificate or gateway course, or be transferable among state institutions of higher education.

Dual Enrollment is defined as enrollment in college courses that do not fall within the legislative requirements of concurrent enrollment. Dual enrollment can have additional restrictions, and/or requirements, and higher costs for enrollment. Examples might be higher tuition costs and grade-level restrictions. For more information, email the Concurrent Enrollment team at concurrent_enrollment@dpsk12.org

CREDIT RECOVERY offers students the option to earn credit for classes they did not successfully complete so that they are on track to graduate. DPS offers Credit Recovery through Edgenuity in all district-managed high schools as a competency-based online and teacher-supported program.

DENVER SCHOLARSHIP

FOUNDATION FUTURE CENTERS , located in a number of DPS high schools, support students as they prepare for college at a four-year, two-year or technical school. Advisors help students apply, earn scholarships and succeed in college. Visit denverscholarship.org for information.

DISCOVERY LINK is the DPSadministered before-school, afterschool and full-day camp program. Discovery Link offers both fee-based and free programming, depending on location.

Early college high schools are designated by the Colorado State Board of Education.

EDCONNECT is a districtwide educational pathway that seeks to develop our current students into our educators of tomorrow. EdConnect programming is available at some high schools and is available centrally to students from all high schools. The EdConnect programming is designed to move students through initial college courses that will accelerate students to a teaching degree and license. EdConnect youth apprentices are placed at DPS elementary schools for workbased learning. Email concurrent_enrollment@dpsk12.net for more information.

EXPEDITIONARY LEARNING , or EL Education, is a system of core instructional practices based on the science of learning and development. EL Education combines traditional instruction with community service

and real-world projects that encourage students to explore the world outside of the classroom, empowering them to develop socially, emotionally and academically together.

INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE (IB) PROGRAMMES offer a more comprehensive approach to advanced education. IB Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma Programmes provide a challenging curriculum that is consistent and highly regarded around the world. IB schools focus on international perspectives of learning and teaching, while supporting students in fully exploring their home culture and language. IB instruction helps develop the intellectual, personal, emotional and social skills that prepare students for success in a rapidly globalizing world. Students who take IB courses and exams in high school stand out in the college admissions process and have the opportunity to earn credits or advanced standing at most colleges and universities in the U.S.

INTERNATIONAL FOCUS SCHOOLS offer a unique curriculum that relates the classroom to the world as a whole. Students explore different cultures and international perspectives while developing skills that will help them be successful in a rapidly changing world.

MONTESSORI PROGRAMS observe and support the natural development of children in a self-directed learning environment. DPS Montessori programs focus on helping children develop creative, problem-solving, social and time-management skills.

NATIVE AMERICAN CULTURE AND EDUCATION (NACE) FOCUS SCHOOLS offer support services by bringing together students with a shared heritage and culture. NACE staff ensure students have access to all opportunities and resources in the district. The goal is to increase the graduation rate of American Indian and Alaska Native students. Contact NACE at 720-423-2042 for more information.

PERSONALIZED LEARNING

is an approach to education that focuses on building students’ identities as lifelong learners, so that over time, they develop a full-fledged sense of learner agency and ownership of their academic progress.

PRE-COLLEGIATE PROGRAMS

are focused on preparing students for continuing their education after high school, which can include earning college credit during high school.

PROJECT-BASED LEARNING

is a method in which students gain knowledge and skills by working for an extended period of time to investigate and respond to an authentic, engaging and complex question, problem or challenge.

P-TECH HIGH SCHOOLS

(Pathways in Technology Early College High Schools) are intended to create a public-private partnership to prepare students for high-skill jobs of the future. P-TECH is open to all students, with a special focus on encouraging enrollment of students who are socioeconomically and racially diverse, first generation college students, English language learners, and students with disabilities. P-TECH high schools are designated by the Colorado State Board of Education. P-TECH models exist within a larger high school and not all students in that particular high school are required to participate in P-TECH. The current state-designated DPS P-TECH school is Abraham Lincoln High School.

SERVICE LEARNING combines work on a community project, such as a volunteer setting, with classroom studies.

STEAM is a multidisciplinary educational approach to learning that uses science, technology, engineering, the arts and mathematics as access points for guiding student inquiry, dialogue, creativity and critical thinking.

TEACHER RECRUITMENT

EDUCATION AND PREPARATION PROGRAM (TREP) is a fifth- and sixth-year high school program that allows students interested in pursuing a career in education to attend college for two years for free!

MEETING YOUR STUDENT’S NEEDS

GIFTED AND TALENTED SERVICES

WEB: gt.dpsk12.org

PHONE: 720-423-2056

WHAT ARE GIFTED AND TALENTED SERVICES?

All schools in DPS are responsible for meeting the needs of identified highly gifted and talented (HGT) and gifted and talented (GT) students, as well as students in a formalized talent pool. K-8 schools are supported through a GT teacher, charter schools are supported through a designated point of contact, and high schools are supported through GT teachers and/or a site-based team and staff from central administration.

GT services in DPS schools range from differentiation in the regular classroom, co-teaching by the gifted education teacher in the regular classroom, pull-out programs, cluster grouping, ability grouping, curriculum compacting, acceleration of content, enrichment opportunities and magnet services (for students designated HGT or magnet-eligible). Services vary by school and you can learn more about specific school services by reviewing GT programming plans at gt.dpsk12.org .

The gifted education teacher collaborates with classroom teachers in differentiating instruction and providing best practices for learners who have an Advanced Learning Plan (ALP). Additional services and opportunities may focus on talent development for those students who are not formally identified but are demonstrating a need in certain academic or talent areas. For more information about gifted and talented programming, please contact the GT teacher or point of contact at your school or review the GT programming plans on the website.

QUALIFYING FOR SERVICES

There are multiple pathways in which students may qualify for GT services. All students in kindergarten, secondand sixth-grade participate in a universal screening for potential GT identification. Students in other grade levels may complete a testing application available for either fall testing or spring testing. The application and deadlines can be found on the GT website.

HIGHLY GIFTED AND TALENTED PROGRAM (HGT)

The Gifted and Talented magnet program provides an educational option for students in first- to eighth-grade who have been designated as magnet-eligible (ME) or identified as Highly Gifted and Talented (HGT). This educational option is provided to address the extreme needs of students who may exhibit exceptional intellectual ability as well unique social and emotional needs.

Once a child is identified as ME or HGT, families may include the HGT program at Cory, Edison, Gust, Lena Archuleta, Polaris and/or Teller elementary schools and Morey Middle School on their SchoolChoice application.

For questions about GT designation or HGT options, please visit gt.dpsk12.org or contact your current GT teacher, or the Gifted and Talented Department.

WEB: mle.dpsk12.org

PHONE: 720-423-2040

WHAT ARE MLE SERVICES?

Every student’s primary language is an asset that, combined with English language skills, leads to success in school and life. Multilingual Education (MLE) programs provide instruction by qualified teachers and dedicated English Language Development support to help Multilingual Learners (MLLs) develop knowledge in core content areas while they learn English.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE?

All students whose primary language is not English, and are not yet proficient in English, are eligible for MLE program services. During registration, parents of all new students complete a form called the Home Language Questionnaire (HLQ), which identifies the languages spoken by the student and their family. If a language other than English is listed on the HLQ, the parents select an MLE program for their child. The school evaluates the child’s English proficiency level and reviews the student’s performance to determine if the child is eligible for MLE program services.

MLE PROGRAMS OFFERED AT DPS SCHOOLS:

■ BILINGUAL TRANSITIONAL NATIVE LANGUAGE INSTRUCTION (TNLI) programs, also known as bilingual programs, are for MLLs whose first language is Spanish. In an elementary TNLI program, students are instructed primarily in Spanish in the early grades. As students progress through the program, the amount of English instruction gradually increases until there is a 50-50 balance of Spanish and English instruction by fourth-grade. In our secondary TNLI programs, students take up to two of their content courses in Spanish each semester.

The goal of bilingual programs is to help students learn English while developing literacy and content skills in Spanish at the same time, leading to proficiency in both languages. Teachers in bilingual programs have been specially trained to help students learn English while they learn other subjects, and are proficient in Spanish. Instruction in TNLI schools is guided by research-based Language Allocation Guidelines, which determine the percentage of instructional time in each language. To find out which schools offer bilingual instruction from ECE through 12th grade by region, visit mle.dpsk12.org/tnli.

■ DUAL LANGUAGE is a long-term program offering instruction in two languages with the goal of developing bilingualism, biliteracy and cultural appreciation. Every district-run dual language program includes at least 50% of instruction in Spanish at the elementary level, and Spanish language arts and one content area taught in Spanish at the secondary level. Regardless of the program, all English learners receive a daily class dedicated to English Language Development (ELD), which gives students the fundamental tools to speak and write English.

■ ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE INSTRUCTION (ESL, ALSO CALLED ELA-E) is intended for MLLs who speak any language. In ELA-E programs, content is taught in English, alongside English-proficient peers, with native language support as appropriate. Teachers in this program have been specially trained to help students learn English while they learn other subjects such as reading, science and math. Schools may also offer additional support in home languages through a native language tutor or an ELA-S Resource teacher.

■ THE DPS SEAL OF BILITERACY is awarded to students who have attained proficiency in two or more languages by high school graduation. The seal appears on the transcript and diploma of the graduate and is a statement of accomplishment for future employers and for college admissions. For more information, visit mle.dpsk12.org/sealofbiliteracy.

NEWCOMER CENTERS are designed for students who are new to the U.S., have had interrupted schooling, have ACCESS levels of 1.0-2.4 and need additional support adjusting to a new educational system. Newcomer Centers are located at Montclair Elementary (1-5), Newlon Elementary (1-5), Place Bridge Academy (1-8), Merrill Middle School, Montbello Middle School, Montbello High School, Abraham Lincoln High School and South High School.

Contact your school to learn more about MLE offerings. A list of MLE programs by school can also be found at mle.dpsk12.org . Call 720-423-2040 for more information.

PHONE: 720-423-2400

EMAIL: ess@dpsk12.org

WHAT ARE SPECIAL EDUCATION SERVICES?

Special Education services are for students who qualify for specially designed instruction due to an educational disability under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). If a student qualifies, an Individualized Education Program (IEP) is developed to provide specially designed instruction for the student. Students may also qualify for and receive support from related service providers, such as nurses, school psychologists, social workers, speech language pathologists, audiologists, educational sign language interpreters, braillists, orientation and mobility specialists, teachers of the deaf and hard of hearing, teachers of the blind or visually impaired, early childhood special educators, occupational therapists and physical therapists.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE?

Any student who qualifies under IDEA is eligible to receive special education services under one or more of the Disability Categories identified under IDEA. Parents/guardians are involved in the evaluation and eligibility process, as well as the development of an IEP.

The term “a child with a disability” means:

A child evaluated according to IDEA as having intellectual disabilities, a hearing impairment including deafness, a speech or language impairment, a visual impairment including blindness, serious emotional disturbance (referred to in IDEA as emotional disturbance), an orthopedic impairment, autism, traumatic brain injury, another health impairment, a specific learning disability, deaf-blindness, or multiple disabilities, and who, by reason thereof, needs special education and related services.

WHERE ARE SPECIAL EDUCATION SERVICES AVAILABLE?

It is our responsibility and a requirement to provide students who qualify for special education access to a Free and Appropriate Public Education in their Least Restrictive Environment. All DPS schools, including charter schools, provide a continuum of services to meet the unique needs of students with disabilities. All schools are able to provide programming for students with mild-to-moderate level of needs.

Some students require more specialized programming at a more intensive level to meet their unique learning needs. Our center-based programs within DPS are specialized classrooms that serve students from ECE through transition-aged programming and are located in our neighborhood, charter and innovation schools across the district. Center Programs are strategically located across the regions of the district and city to allow for the consolidation of resources needed to serve students with significant needs while offering services as close as possible to each student’s home. These programs are intended and designed to provide an intensive level of support that is based upon the unique and individual needs of our student population. As a whole, our center-based programs target student needs in areas including, but not limited to: academics, behavior, communication, social/emotional, adaptive, functional, physical and/or independence.

HOW DO I ACCESS SPECIAL EDUCATION SERVICES?

Once a student has qualified for special education services, the IEP outlines the services that the student requires. When your student is admitted to a school, please work directly with the school to ensure that IEP services can begin promptly.
