Health and Safety Rules for start of 2021-2022 |
|
As we prepare for the start of the school year, DPS is prioritizing health and safey and following the guidance of our trusted experts at Denver Health. We are doing everything we can to ensure we have a full year of in-person instruction and stupport for our students with minimal disruptions. We will continue to stay in close contact with health experts and will re-evaluate our procedures as new information becomes available.
Mask Requirements for the Start of School
- Masks will be required for all students, visitors, and staff while in all DPS schools and buildings, regardless of vaccination status.
- Masks will not be required outside, since the risk of COVID transmission is significantly lower outdoors.
Health Screenings and Hygiene
Formal student health screens are not required for students to enter a building. However, parents/guardians should monitor their children for symptoms of illness and keep them home if they are sick. Students and staff should continue to practice good hygiene. This includes wahsing your hands or using hand sanitizer, covering coughs and sneezes, and avoiding touching your face.

Free and Reduced Lunch Application |
|
In order to maximize the funding your school receives to educate your child, it is very important that you complete the Application for Meal Benefits, as quickly as possible. Your school receives much of its funding from students qualifying for meal benefits even if they do not eat school meals. Just by qualifying, your school receives money for educational needs. In addition, there are programs where you may receive other benefits that are associated with qualifying for free or reduced price meals such as: Book Fee Waivers, Scholarships, Reduced Athletic fees, ACT Testing fees, Reduced Bus fees and the list goes on. These programs are offered on a school by school basis. After the meal application has been processed, we will send you a notification letter that documents your child’s status for free, reduced or full pay meals.
If you choose NOT to complete an Application for Meal Benefits or you do not qualify for free or reduced price meals, the prices for the year are as follows:
- Breakfast Prices (K – 12) no charge at participating schools
- Elementary (ECE – 5) $2.45
- Middle School (6 – 8) $2.60
- High School (9 – 12) $2.85
