Update from Principal Thomas
Dear Denver South Students and Families,
We are excited to welcome back our Raven community to in-person learning! We can’t wait to have our community together after so long. This school year, we will be open for students and staff only. All students and staff will be required to wear masks at all times while indoors. Please note, visitors are not allowed in the building at this time. We will share additional health and safety guidelines as they become available.
This year, our mission is to bring joy and community back to our campus for students, families, and staff. We look to continue and expand the great work we completed through the pandemic to grow our students academically and social-emotionally.
Registration 21-22…
South will also be operating a bell schedule that runs from 8:25 am to 3:55 pm each day except Thursday when school will end at 2:40 pm. You may view a copy of our bell schedule linked HERE. We will also be returning to a semester schedule.
Go Ravens!
We are Denver South!
Sincerely,
Bobby Thomas
Principal, South High School
