Dear Families,

Dear Hallett Families,
It has been wonderful having all of our students in school this week. I am excited about all this year will bring. While we remain grateful for the opportunity to gather together in-person, we continue to mandate mask-wearing inside, frequent hand-washing, and disinfecting our learning spaces (desks/tables and chairs) , to support keeping our students healthy and safe. 

In lieu of back-to-school night, teachers are sending electronic newsletters to share classroom expectations, supplies needed, units of study and learning goals, and pictures of our classrooms. Please reach out to your child(ren)’s teacher if you have questions or concerns about what’s happening in class. You may email your child(ren)’s teacher : teacher’s first name_teacher’s last name@dpsk12.org .

Thank you for a joyous start to the school year, we can’t wait to see you on Monday! Have a great weekend. 

With love,
Dominique Jefferson

Access to Free Meals

Free Meals for All Students 18 Years and Younger Will Extend Through the 2021-22 School Year!

All students enrolled in Denver Public Schools will have access to breakfast and lunch meals at no cost, regardless of free and reduced meal eligibility. A la carte options (second entrée, milk, bottled water, snacks, etc.) will be available for purchase at school sites. Adult meals may be purchased, $3.00 for breakfast and $4.50 for lunch. For students who select a school lunch, they will go to the cafeteria line and choose from a variety of entrees and fruit/vegetable sides. Students will enter their student ID at the cashier only if they purchase a la carte items.
Families who would like to get meals for children at home may go to their nearest school cafeteria and request meals for children 18 years and younger.

Families are encouraged to complete a Free and Reduced-Price Meal Application to be eligible for additional family benefits and school funding, including items such as fee waivers, EBT benefits, and to ensure proper funding for schools.
