Prior to the Board’s decision, the Transition Team and Superintendent Marrero will hold an engagement meeting at each school to share information about why your school was part of the recommendation, how this impacts your community and what support you can expect from the district if the recommendation is approved. The Transition Team is made up of staff members from Academics, the Office of Talent, Choice & Enrollment, Family & Community Engagement (FACE), the Employee Assistance Program, Transportation, Multilingual Education and Special Education.
Each meeting will be held at the respective school (rooms to be determined) and will be limited to only that school’s families and staff. Childcare and interpretation services will be provided.
Agenda for Each Meeting
Presentation: Each meeting will begin with a 20-minute opening presentation explaining why your school was included as part of the recommendation and will include a high-level explanation of how this impacts families and staff.
Break-out groups: Each meeting will open into two break-out groups following the opening presentation to dig deeper into how families and staff are impacted. More information will also be shared on what support you can expect from the district.
Family break-out groups: Families will hear from team members from Choice & Enrollment, Transportation, FACE, and Academics, including Special Education and Multilingual Education.
Staff break-out groups: Staff will hear from team members from the Office of Talent, the Employee Assistance Program and FACE. (Staff members who are also family members of students can join either break-out group.)
Resource Tables: Following the breakout sessions, families and staff can visit any of the resource tables to ask questions and learn more about support the district offers.
If you cannot attend the engagement meeting at your school, please read your toolkit for specific information about what this means for you as a family or staff member. The Family and Student toolkits are available on each school’s Denver School Thrives webpage and have been translated into the languages spoken at the school. To read the toolkit in your language, click the name of your language, which is linked at the top of the document.
