Update from Principal Goss

Dear Denver South Students and Families,

We hope you had a great week. There will be no school on September 30th due to teacher/staff in school planning day. 

Parent teacher conferences will be held Oct 12 and 13 from 4-8pm. We are dedicating conferences to students with grades D or below. Sign up information will be available next week. 

If your students’ grades do not fall in this category, we encourage you to reach out to their counselor or individual teachers.

PSAT testing will also take place on October 12 and 13th. Testing will be completed between 12pm-2pm depending on accommodations.
Oct 12th PSAT for 10/11 grade — (no school for 9th or 12th grade students)
Oct 13th PSAT 9th grade — (no school for 10-12th grade students)

There will be no school for ALL students on October 14th and 17th.

Have a great weekend!

Go Ravens

We are Denver South

Sincerely,

Principal Goss
