Edison/DPS Reminders

BESS Survey - Addressing the mental health, behavioral and social emotional needs of our students is critical to ensuring their well-being and healthy development, as well as their access to safe and welcoming schools. Therefore, Denver Public Schools uses the BESS to screen all students for social emotional and behavioral risk. The screening results support data-driven decision making in order to meet students’ needs as appropriately as possible. We would greatly appreciate if all parents could complete the BESS survey on their child(ren) prior to Spring Break. Thank you.
