Welcome

Welcome!

Whether you’re returning or getting to know DJDS for the first time, I’m glad you’re here.

Stepping into the role of Interim Head of School at this moment is both meaningful and personal. Having spent years as Upper Division Principal, I know Denver JDS well ,its strengths, its character, and the people who make it what it is. This school matters deeply to me, and I am proud to be back in this new capacity.

During this time, my role is to provide stability and continuity while continuing to move the school forward. My focus this year is to build on that foundation staying grounded in what we do best: strong academics, meaningful Jewish learning, and a community where students feel safe, known, and supported while also creating space for growth, innovation, and new opportunities.

I believe wholeheartedly in the kind of education DJDS provides: one that develops curious, capable students who are prepared to engage thoughtfully with the world and lead lives guided by our core values Divrei Chaim.

This is an important time for our school and the greater Jewish community, and I’m committed to leading with clarity, steadiness, and care for our students and families.

Thank you for being part of DJDS. I look forward to what we will continue to build together.

Warmly,
Jason Snyder
Acting Head of School
