Denver Public Schools (DPS) is proud to introduce Discovery Link - a new name for the official DPS afterschool program. Formerly known as Kaleidoscope Corner in some schools and Fit, Fun & Literacy in others, we have renamed the program to better reflect the linkage between the school day and the discovery that takes place in our programs out of school time, including before and after school and during the summer.
While DPS has many valued afterschool partners,
there is only one district-run program: Discovery Link.
Since Discovery Link is a DPS program run entirely by DPS staff, it is uniquely positioned to link the school day and the hours beyond seamlessly and strategically.
DPS' afterschool programs are built on a culture of discovery.
Combining academic support, arts, athletics, leadership development, social emotional learning and much more, we create an environment that is enriching, engaging and fun!
There will be no changes to your program location or schedule
in the year ahead as we officially launch our new name. Learn more at kaleidoscope.dpsk12.org.
Thank you to all who participated in the University Park Elementary Golf Tournament! It was a great event and a lot of fun had by all!
Winning team (from left to right):
Justin Gold, Ben Blackwood, John Rogala, Brian Frenkel
Spring Trimester Enrichments, Make-Up Classes:
5/23 - Sticky Fingers
5/25 - Abrakadoodle, Overtime Athletics, Science Matters, Brainiacs Learning Lab
