COVID-19 Resources
Denver JDS is thrilled to share that as of now (July 2021) we plan to have all students back on our campus, for full-time, in-person learning, for the start of the 2021-22 school year. All Denver JDS teachers and staff are now fully vaccinated, and we strongly encourage all eligible members of our Denver JDS community to get the vaccination if they haven’t already done so (see list of resources below for places to obtain a vaccine).
Denver JDS is grateful to our teachers and staff, all of whom worked tirelessly to facilitate a successful shift to remote learning during the 2019-20 school year. And while we have every hope and intention of returning to a “normal,” in-person learning environment for the coming year, we are prepared to implement the hybrid learning model, or remote learning model if necessary.
