DPS Parent Leadership Institute

Thanks to all the wonderful, engaged families who turned out this morning for the DPS Parent Leadership Institute at North High School. It was a busy and informative day, hearing from school leaders including Superintendent Tom Boasberg, as well as other education specialists. Thanks to everyone who stopped by the DPS Foundation booth and took brochures and flyers to distribute to their schools. And a special thanks to everyone who signed up to be DPS Foundation Sports Ambassadors for our community night games with the Rapids, Avs and Nuggets!

• longer school days and years to provide extended learning opportunities
• daily monitoring of students’ progress
• increased collaboration time for teachers
• a strong emphasis on college and career preparation
