Update from Principal Thomas
Dear Denver South Students and Families,
Thank you all for a great week. We are so close to finishing out the semester. We want to wish you all good luck on your finals! You got this Ravens! Please be sure to review the schedule for the upcoming week. (FINALS WEEK SCHEDULE LINKED HERE)
If you or anyone you know is struggling with mental health, we encourage you to reach out and utilize resources. Students can reach out to their counselors as a point of contact or available resources. Click here to view the flyer.
We are so close to our goal, but we still need some help! The I AM DENVER SOUTH (IADS) CAMPAIGN is at $105k and our goal is $120k. These funds are critical for teachers’ mini grants, students’ Academics, Arts, Athletics and Activities, and the community with creation of Ravens Landing. Please help us reach our goal before winter break by donating here: https://www.denversouthptsa.com/fundraising
Thank you for all the support!
You can access current and past communications, as well as other important information on our website.
Have an excellent weekend!
Go Ravens!
We are Denver South!
Sincerely,
Bobby Thomas
Principal, South High School

The planned test dates are January 10, 11, 12, 13 with the final session happening on one day the following week: January 18, 19, 20. If students miss the test they will be pulled to do make-up testing.
Students will be getting a calendar invite for the testing. Please inform students to look for an invitation to the first test session on January 10.

Student Mental Wellness Starts With Adults.
In the words of our dear friend and Program Advisory Board Member, Brittany Simone, we believe “well-being is our birthright.” As an organization, we’re committed to creating free spaces where educators can explore a variety of modalities to support their well-being. We’ve curated a variety of wellness leaders to help us explore well-being through different practices and modalities.
We have three remaining sessions of the year and they are must-try experiences. RSVP using the links below to receive a calendar invite and Zoom link:
