  • In order to serve our community well, and for the safety of both you as the volunteer and for the safety of our students, DDES requires all of our regular volunteers undergo a background check. This is required once every two years. Here is the link for the online background check: https://www.cbirecordscheck.com. The cost is $5.00. Please email a pdf copy to frontoffice@ddeschool.org.

 

Blue Bear Buddies – Read with our students

  • Our volunteer reading program is designed to engage members of the Denver community with DDES students to foster a lifelong love of reading. We pair an adult with one or two students for 30-45 minutes of read-alouds each week. If you are new to the program, please click on the link to complete the volunteer information form: Blue Bear Buddies
