Topic: How to View Trimester 1 Progress Reports & Set Up Winter Weather Alerts
With the end of Trimester 1 approaching, this guide walks you through viewing your child’s progress report in the DPS Parent Portal and updating your contact settings for winter weather delays and snow days.
Denver Public Schools uses Standards-Based Progress Reports.Instead of traditional letter grades (A–F), your child receives performance indicators (1–4) showing their progress toward specific grade-level skills.
Understanding the 1–4 Scale:
- 4 = Exceeding standard expectations
- 3 = Meeting grade-level expectations
- 2 = Approaching expectations
- 1 = Not Yet Meeting expectations
November in Denver brings cold weather and potential snow delays. Ensure your contact settings are enabled to receive instant texts and calls for 2-hour delays or school closures.
