A Message From The Principal

Dear Commander Families and Students,

“Without memory, there is no culture. Without memory, there would be no civilization, no society, no future.” – Elie Wiese – Wishing you all a restful Memorial Day Weekend in which you celebrate with loved ones and take time to remember the members of our armed forces who sacrificed their lives serving our country.

Congratulations to all of our Senior Graduates who celebrated the successful completion of their high school experience. I can truly say that I feel confident in the future of our community and society with our Commander graduates taking command of their futures!

9th – 11th grade students, good luck finishing out the school year with your period 5, 6, 7, and 8 finals on Tuesday and Wednesday. You persevered to gain the knowledge and skills you need! You’ve got this!

See the schedule below and please arrive at school by 7:25 am on Tuesday and Wednesday. Thursday is a make up day only. Grades will be posted in Schoology by 3pm on Thursday June 1st; but, will not roll to transcript until the following week.

Please read below for other important information and updates!

Have a Commander Kind of Week!

Tiffany Almon, Proud and Grateful Principal

We Need to Hear From You!

We know that surveys take time to complete thoughtfully. Please know that your completion of these surveys is critical to helping DPS address safety in all our schools and provides a blueprint on how we can work toward ensuring Every Learner Thrives

Please complete the JFK Community SRO interest survey by June 5th. YOUR VOICE MATTERS!
The Long-term Safety Plan survey is open now through Sunday, May 21. After reviewing version 1.0 of the Long-term Safety Plan, please share your thoughts on this version of the plan by completing the interactive survey.
The DPS Your Voice/Tu Voz Family Survey has been extended through Sunday, May 21. This survey is your opportunity to share your experiences in DPS. Your input is valuable to how we shape our System, Adult and Student Experiences.

Check – Out Your Chromebook over the Summer!

Over the summer of 2023, students in DPS-managed schools (non-charters) have an opportunity to check out a Chromebook and a Chromebook charger for use over the summer. This includes DPS students in K-11th grade returning to a DPS school for the 2022-23 school year.

If you are interested in this option for your student, the parent/guardian must complete this Chromebook Check Out Form and return it Mr. Jonez in Rm B15 (Basement). Students who check out a Chromebook for the summer will bring the same Chromebook to their DPS school at the start of next school year.

If you do not want your student to check out a Chromebook and charger for the summer, please ensure they return the Chromebook and charger to their DPS-managed school by the end of the school year, otherwise a MySchoolBucks fee will be added to their account for replacement costs.

Take Command of Your Future
