Healthy Start Times Resolution Update
Last spring, the Board of Education passed a Healthy Start Times resolution to have all middle and high schools (district-managed and charters) start no earlier than 8:20 a.m. to support healthy sleep habits in adolescents. These new start times will begin in the school year 2023-24, not 2022-23 as originally planned. DPS is committed to working closely with our community to make this transition as safe and seamless as possible.
The Healthy Start Times webpage will house all relevant information including FAQs, community engagement events, and resources for families. The first community engagement event is planned for early November. If you have questions, please call our Family and Community Helpline at 720-423-3054 or email facehelpline@dpsk12.org.

Cafeteria
Please help welcome Mina, who recently arrived in the US from Afghanistan, to our kitchen staff. She joins Yvonne, the kitchen manager, Nancy and Michel. We are so happy to have her!
The kitchen staff asks that you please remind your students, if they want a hot lunch, to order it from their teacher first thing in the morning. We are a scratch-made kitchen, so it is important that only the children who order lunches, take lunches. With the current national supply chain issues, it is even more difficult to make adjustments throughout the day.
