COVID Precautions update
DPS leadership is continuing to make decisions regarding health and safety precautions necessary to keep staff and students safe this school year. At this time, the following guidelines are in place:
* Parent/community volunteers are NOT currently permitted within schools.
* Parents and community members may come to the school office, but not into the school building beyond the office.
* Extracurricular activities and field trips are permitted, however, large gatherings are not permitted, therefore at this time we will not plan for performances or festivals.
* Students and staff will be asked to wash their hands and use hand sanitizer frequently.
* Facility staff will continue to sanitize and clean school surfaces frequently.
* All students and staff will be required to wear masks indoors.
DPS Student Meals
This year, Denver Public Schools will provide breakfast and lunch to all students at no charge, regardless of the student’s free or reduced-price meal benefit status; however, it is still very important that families continue to complete and submit a Meal Benefits Application. The submission and approval of a Meal Benefits Application provides advantages beyond eligibility for free or reduced-priced meals. Submitting an application also helps ensure students receive the maximum amount of benefits they are eligible for, including discounts on bus passes and some school fees, such as athletics, and reduced AP testing fees. It also ensures schools receive additional resources to support healthy meals for students and afterschool programs. In addition, based on your application, you could be eligible for the P-EBT (Pandemic Electronic Benefits Transfer) program through the Department of Human Services. Please visit their website for additional information cdhs.colorado.gov/p-ebt. Your assistance in completing and submitting the Meal Benefits Application is greatly appreciated and has the potential to help all DPS schools. Apply now at: WWW.MYSCHOOLAPPS.COM. All information provided is confidential and protected.
Please email Sally_Whitelock@dpsk12.org or Megan_Bohanan@dpsk12.org with any questions or concerns.
