Enrollment growth in the Greater Park Hill-Stapleton enrollment zone has created the need for a new middle school to begin operation fall 2019, to be identified through the Call for New Quality Schools (the Call) process in partnership with the community. To learn more, read the 2018 Supplementary Call for New Quality Schools. To apply, see the application materials below. Letters of Intent were due August 6, 2018.
The Portfolio Management Team is pleased to offer a number of resources to potential new school applicants, including in-person supports, online workshops, and informational screencasts. View our supports below or contact Max Tweten for more information.
In-person workshops are available during an active Call cycle and include experts from Budget & Finance, the English Language Acquisition Department, the Special Education Department, and the Portfolio Management Team. Applicants can gain an overview of the Call process and have open time to engage with content experts. These sessions are designed for all applicants.
In addition, the Portfolio Management Team holds office for all applicants. Office hours are a first-come, first-serve opportunity for applicants to ask questions, learn about the process, or explore DPS needs. Outside of specified office hours, PMT is always willing to meet with interested partners. Contact the Portfolio Management Team (include subject line “School Development Team”) to set up a time.
This page will be updated soon with available supports for schools seeking to meet the middle school need identified in the 2018 Supplemental Call for New Quality Schools.
The Portfolio Management Team uses online webinars to walk applicants through the new school applications and rubrics as well as through any changes from last year’s application. In addition, the team provides an overview of the quality review process and answers any initial questions applicants may have. These sessions are designed for first-time applicants and will not cover iZones or replication applications specifically.
