News you can use!

  • As you know, the DPS Board of Education voted in favor of the possible return of elementary students to in-person learning in January, depending on COVID metrics. Middle grades will remain remote. The Board’s amendment sets two conditions. First, the positivity rate of COVID-19 cases in our community must be below four percent for fourteen consecutive days. Second, remote learning must be the default--all elementary students will remain online unless families request in-person instruction. Be on the alert for communication soon asking your preferences, and information regarding events and resources available to you to help you make your decision. Among those resources the DPS COVID-19 Data Dashboard on the DPS website.
