Tour To Help Parents Explore Options And The DPS Choice Process

On Saturday, January 19 the "World of Choice" Bus will be parked outside the Pepsi Center during the 2002 School Fair before heading off to the Southwest area on Sunday. (See schedule below.)

Parents should look for the yellow mini-bus with a banner that reads "There's a World of Choice in Denver Public Schools." On the bus, parents can pick up brochures for various schools and programs, and copies of DPS Today 2002 (the district's Resource and Enrollment Guide). Volunteers will be giving away balloons and goodies to children and various school principals, area superintendents and other district staff will be available to answer questions about the "Choice" process.

The Choice Process allows parents and students the option to apply for a transfer to another neighborhood school. Parents wanting the best chance of securing a seat in a school outside their neighborhood school boundary should have completed enrollment forms for the 2002-2003 school year returned to any Denver Public School by February 15th. Also, Choice forms are available at all schools. A lottery will be conducted if there are more applicants than space available in any school.

Please Note: Magnet and Charter schools may have different enrollment deadlines as they manage their own admission and application deadlines.
