Registration

We are so excited for the 2022-2023 school year. In order for you to be a part of the excitement of rigorous courses, renovated facilities, and a family atmosphere, you need to complete the registration steps below. Registration is now open again! We have moved our registration process online this year to ensure the safety of all Commanders, as well as to save time, money, and resources.

If you have questions please contact Blanca Lobo at 720-423-4320 or email blanca_lobo1@dpsk12.net to schedule an appointment.

If for some reason, you will not be attending John F. Kennedy High School next year, please email blanca_lobo1@dpsk12.net with your student name and their new school so that we can offer your seat to someone on our waitlist.

Free and Reduced Lunch Application (Required)

COMPLETE IN AUGUST: All students must apply or opt out, one application per family is required to complete the registration process. If you know you do not qualify, you do not need to fill out the entire application and you can simply check the opt out option.

This can impact how your student is charged for bus passes and can reduce your registration fee. Failure to do so will result in an incomplete registration and may impact your student being charged for lunch and affect AP Exam fees and Sports fees. If you missed this step, please visit www.myschoolapps.com to apply. MAKE SURE TO SAVE YOUR CONFIRMATION NUMBER AS YOU WILL NEED TO ENTER THIS NUMBER IN A LATER STEP!
