2013 - 2014 SchoolChoice 

Denver Public Schools

A+ Denver is part of a coalition of organizations that worked with DPS and national experts on the new, improved school enrollment process now used in Denver. This page was created to supplement the DPS website and to help spread the word about the new process that is underway for the 2013 -2014 school year.

You can find the DPS website on SchoolChoice at http://schoolchoice.dpsk12.org.  Below you will find important information, forms and dates to help you understand how the new process works.  DPS is transitioning from having over 60 different enrollment procedures to a single form due on one date along with improved enrollment guides to teach parents and families about all the school options their children have.  All transition grade students (incoming Kindergarten, 6th and 9th graders) need to submit a form to your most-preferred DPS school or one of two DPS Enrollment Centers in the Butler Building at 2960 North Speer Blvd or 4800 Telluride St. Building 5. Room 144. by January 31, 2013. Forms submitted through mail, email, or fax will not be processed.
