Dear Team DPS/DPS Community,
As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude and appreciation for our community of dedicated educators, students and families here in Denver Public Schools. In this season of reflection and gratitude, I want to thank you all for working together to help us make DPS a place where Every Learner Thrives.
School leaders, thank you for creating school environments where students thrive, teachers shine, and the entire school community feels a sense of belonging.
Teachers, thank you for the countless hours you spend planning, teaching and supporting our students every day.
Support staff, thank you for being the driving forces behind the smooth operation of our district and doing your part in ensuring students and staff have what they need to succeed.
Families, thank you for continuing to partner with our schools and the district so that we can continue to make improvements that best serve your children.
Our students, staff and families are the foundation of our district’s success, and I am honored to be a part of this exceptional community. I wish everyone a restful holiday break with loved ones, and look forward to our return to finish 2023 off strong.
In collaboration,
Dr. Alex Marrero DPS Superintendent
