Share Your Feedback: Join the Healthy Start Times Options Webinar on Tuesday, Feb. 22
As you know, DPS is getting ready to shift to Healthy Start Times beginning in the fall of 2023. With this shift, all middle and high schools will start no earlier than 8:20 a.m. in order to support healthy sleep habits in teenagers. Elementary schools will likely start earlier to make this happen, as younger students' sleep habits work better with an earlier start time than teenagers. We know this will impact both our students and staff -- and to best prepare, we want to hear thoughts on what options might work best.
All DPS team members are invited to join the Healthy Start Times webinar, created specifically for DPS staff, from 4-5 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 22, to learn more about the three Healthy Start Times options and ask questions. Team members from our Schools, Operations and Extended Learning teams will be available to share more information and answer questions. (Since this is a Team DPS webinar, please do not forward this link outside of DPS. Other opportunities will be available for families and community members hoping to share feedback.)
In addition to the webinar, please share your feedback through the Healthy Start Times Options survey, which is now open through March 9. Later, the planning committee will share what we learn from this survey and will ask for your final thoughts, before sharing the detailed plan with the Denver Board of Education this summer. Overall, there will be over a year of planning before Healthy Start Times will begin in fall of 2023.
