CHOOSING A SCHOOL IN DPS Denver Public Schools takes pride in the school options available to our families. We truly believe there is a best-fit school for each and every student. 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: ■ This enrollment guide contains

information on every elementary 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’ve selected the schools that interest you, you’re ready to take part in SchoolChoice, our unified enrollment system. The next SchoolChoice window is Jan. 14 to Feb. 15, 2022. 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

magnet 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 serve a neighborhood boundary or 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.

DPS believes that all students should have equitable access to their preferred schools, regardless of where they live in Denver. 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 online enrollment system. 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 dps.schoolmint.net/signin.

SCHOOL PROGRAMS A DVA NCEMEN T V I A INDI V IDUA L DE T ER MIN AT ION ( AV ID) is a K-12 college readiness system that places students – particularly those from groups traditionally underrepresented in higher education – on the college track. 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. A DVA NCED PL ACEMEN T ( A P) 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. A R M Y JUNIOR R E SERV E OFFICER S’ T R A INING C OR P S (JRO T C) 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, self-discipline and communication.

they demonstrate mastery of academic content, regardless of time, place or pace of learning. C ONC UR R EN T ENROL L MEN T A ND DUA L ENROL L MEN T allows students to enroll in college courses, simultaneously earning high school and college credit. The simultaneous enrollment of a qualified student in a district high school includes one or more post-secondary courses in an academic, career, or technical education course at a higher education institution. Students gain exposure to the academic challenges of college while in their supportive high school environment or on a college campus. Concurrent Enrollment/Dual Enrollment is available at all DPS high schools and select DPS charter schools. Participation in Concurrent/ Dual Enrollment is based on a student’s college readiness and their Individual Career and Academic Plan (ICAP) – a graduation requirement for the classes of 2021 and beyond – which students develop with their counselor or school leader. CR EDIT R EC OV ERY 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 in all district-managed high schools as a competency-based online and teacher-supported program.

BUS COMMUNICATIONS

The +Pass is a required card that students must scan when getting on and off the school bus. The mandatory +Pass program was created to keep parents informed about when and where their student gets on and off the bus. Every transportation-eligible student in DPS who rides a school bus must use their +Pass every day. More information can be found at transportation.dpsk12.org/pluspass.

Parents of students who ride the school bus will receive real-time information and updates about their student’s bus service through SchoolMessenger. Text, email and voice notifications will be sent to parents when buses are running more than 15 minutes late due to traffic, emergency or weather delay. Parents of transportation-eligible students are automatically enrolled to receive SchoolMessenger notifications based on the phone number and email address provided when they registered their student for school.

NO T E: Parents can view their child’s bus route and +Pass recorded data by logging into their Parent Portal account.

MEETING YOUR STUDENT’S NEEDS GIFTED AND TALENTED SERVICES WEB: studentequity.dpsk12.org/gifted-talented PHONE: 720-423-2056

WHAT ARE GIFTED AND TALENTED SERVICES? All schools in DPS are responsible for meeting the needs of identified gifted and talented 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 a site-based team and staff from central administration. GT services in DPS schools range from 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/or magnet services (for students designated HGT or magnet-eligible). The gifted education teacher collaborates with classroom teachers in differentiating instruction and providing best practices for learners who have an Advanced Learning Plan. 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 ways in which students may qualify for services. All students in kindergarten, second and 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 grades 1 through 8 who have been designated as magnet eligible or identified as HGT. This educational option is provided to address the extreme needs of students that may exhibit exceptional intellectual ability as well unique social and emotional needs. Once a child is identified as magnet-eligible (ME or highly gifted-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 studentequity.dpsk12.org/ gifted-talented or contact your current GT teacher, or the Gifted and Talented Department.

MULTILINGUAL EDUCATION (MLE) 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 feature 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. At registration, parents of all new students complete a form called the Home Language Questionnaire (HLQ), which identifies the language or languages spoken by the student and his or her family. If a language other than English is entered 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 instruction time in each language. ■ ENGL I SH A S A SEC OND L A NGUAGE IN S T RUC T ION (E SL , A L S O C A L L ED EL A-E) is intended for MLLs

who speak any language. In ESL programs, all of the classes are taught in English. 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. ■ In Denver Public Schools, DUA L L A NGUAGE 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. 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. 12

MEETING YOUR STUDENT’S NEEDS CONTINUED

SPECIAL EDUCATION SERVICES W E B : studentequity.dpsk12.org/special-education P H O N E : 720-423-3437 E M A I L : sped@dpsk12.org

WHAT ARE SPECIAL EDUCATION SERVICES? Special Education is a federally mandated program for students who qualify for specially designed instruction due to an educational disability. DPS schools provide educational services to meet the needs of students with disabilities who qualify under the Individuals with a Disability Education Program. If a student qualifies, an Individualized Education Program (IEP) is developed to provide specially designed instruction for the student. Students may also receive support from 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.

THE DPS SEAL OF BILITERACY The DPS Seal of Biliteracy is an award earned by students who have met their high school graduation requirements, and have studied and attained proficiency in two or more languages by high school graduation. For more information, visit mle.dpsk12.org/ seal-of-biliteracy.

NEWCOMER CENTERS Newcomer Centers are designed for students who are new to the U.S., have had interrupted schooling, and need additional support adjusting to a new educational system. Newcomer Centers are located at Place Bridge Academy (K-5), Merrill Middle School, Abraham Lincoln High School and South High School.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE? Eligibility is determined by a formal assessment process that uses criteria associated with specific disabilities. Within this evaluation process, families are provided information regarding their child’s eligibility and options for services.

WHERE ARE SPECIAL EDUCATION SERVICES AVAILABLE? All DPS schools, including charter schools, provide a continuum of services to meet the unique needs of students with disabilities. Some schools have specialized programming such as Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services or Autism. The child’s IEP team determines if students need this level of programming.

HOW DO I ACCESS SPECIAL EDUCATION SERVICES? Students do not directly enroll in special education services. Instead, families participate in the evaluation of their child’s eligibility and are included in the determination of the services their child will receive once DPS completes the formal assessment process. If you believe your child may qualify for special education services, contact your school of interest to inquire about an assessment being completed for your child.
