ECE-3 and ECE-4 Families: Important Information about UPK Colorado and SchoolChoice Applications |
|
Along with other Colorado school districts, DPS is working with the Colorado Department of Early Childhood (CDEC) to continue expanding its Early Childhood Education program by rolling out a new enrollment process for Universal Preschool (UPK) Colorado. This new program will provide additional funding opportunities for our ECE-providing schools and district partners, including charter schools and private ECE providers.
This means that the SchoolChoice process for ECE families will be much different than in previous years. ECE-3 and ECE-4 families must complete both a SchoolChoice application and a UPK Colorado application. The UPK Colorado application will open on Tuesday, Jan. 17 and close Feb. 15 -- please note that this window and application is separate from our DPS SchoolChoice window and application (Jan. 13-Feb. 14).

DPS Climate Action Plan Now Available |
|
The Sustainability Team published DPS' first-ever Climate Action Plan as a direct result of the activism of DPS Students for Climate Action! The plan focuses on how DPS will reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, conserve our natural resources and prepare our students for a green economy -- all with a lens of environmental justice and equity.
Reaching our climate action goals will take the involvement of the entire DPS community, so we invite you to join us on this journey and encourage you to read the plan to learn how to get involved.
With this plan and the help of the DPS community, we are changing the narrative from one of climate crisis to one of bold action, innovation and accountability.
