Over the past 48 hours, we have been closely examining our DPS data from our time offering in-person schooling and having thorough conversations with our partners at Denver Health, our Board of Education, and our educators about the best plan going forward. As a result, we have decided to make the following adjustments to scale back in-person instruction in response to the rising COVID cases but still keep our elementary schools open for our youngest learners:
-
Early childhood education (ECE) through second grade will continue to attend full-time, in-person learning.
-
Grades 3-5 will stay open for in-person instruction through Friday, Oct. 30, and students will have the opportunity to gather supplies to prepare for remote learning. These grades will shift to remote learning on Monday, Nov. 2 and will stay in remote learning until the Thanksgiving holiday, when we will reassess health conditions.
-
Grades 6-12 will remain in remote learning through the end of the semester in December.
-
Newcomer Centers, Remote-Learning Support Centers, and Special Education Center programs will continue to offer full-time, in-person learning for all grades through the rest of the first semester.
