8. How do students handle transportation? DSST does not provide transportation for

their students. Many families rely on programs like My Way to Go. Another form of transportation widely used by DSST students is public transportation (RTD). For route and schedule information, please visit http://www.rtd-denver.com/ or call 303.638.9000. Monthly bus passes are available at DSST at a rate of $39.50, or may be purchased at a local King Soopers.

9. How does DSST handle discipline issues?

The DSST community is founded on the school’s six core values: respect,

responsibility, integrity, courage, curiosity and doing your best. Students, parents and teachers formally commit to doing their best to live and support these core values. The core values provide students with the opportunity for selfimprovement, individual growth, and character development as well as support stewardship of our entire community. Most student errors are handled through

direct conversation and using the mistake as a “teachable moment”.

The student may be assigned to a Refocus or College Prep session for specific behaviors.

DSST follows Denver Public Schools’ guidelines regarding serious offenses.

Please refer to the DPS website for more information.

10.How is summer school placement determined and when will it be? We use a

combination of a placement test, IA Scores, MAP tests and teacher recommendations to determine whether or not a student has summer school for English or Math. Summer School will last for three weeks. Specific dates are yet to be determined.

For example, this summer every student was expected to get up in front of the community at some point either to present or perform something. Even though it can be scary, getting out of your comfort zone is something you have to do in order to grow.

    Announcements Families Will Now Receive Emergency Texts from the District

    DSST: Green Valley Ranch High School Memo 10/01/2018 Announcements Update about drills at the Evie Dennis Campus: Families will now receive emergency texts from the district. The communications team will also send emergency robo-calls. Messages will be sent during crises such as lockdowns, evacuations and weather delays/closures. We are excited about this change because sending text messages will inform families of crises in a much shorter time frame than what it takes for a robo-call or robo- email to be delivered. Parents and guardians, you have been automatically opted-in to receive emergency texts based on cell phone numbers provided during registration. Please check to make sure your information is up-to-date in Parent Portal. Messages will be sent in English and Spanish. Learn more about lockdowns and lockouts here.
