Yes, after school care are run through our partner, Discovery Link. It is available for ECE through 5th grade and there is a cost associated. Visit our Discovery Link (extended learning) page for more information.

How do I know my child’s teacher?

Once SchoolChoice has notified you that your child has been accepted to our school, your child will be assigned a teacher and you will be able to view this in Denver Public School’s Parent Portal. These are typically available in June or July prior to the start of the school year.

How do I meet my child’s teacher?

Your teacher will reach out to your family when they return to work after the summer break (sometime in August). Our Ice Cream Social is also a great chance to meet your teacher. This even happens every year before the school year starts in August. There is also a Back to School Night within the first month of school.
