DENVER — In October alone, Denver Public Schools welcomed 400 migrant students into the district, according to Adella Arredondo, the executive director of Family and Community Engagement for DPS. Between July and October 25, DPS welcomed 1,915 migrant students.
They've had to coordinate transportation for students who are currently living in hotel shelters with their families and don't have another means of getting to school. In the early months of the surge, DPS leaders say a large concentration of enrollment happened at its schools on the southeast portion of town, near hotels where families had been staying.
"We've had students who show up to school, and it's freezing outside... we bring them to the hub and get them a jacket so that they can go and be the kid at recess. When it's cold outside or knowing that when they go home, they'll at least be a little warmer that evening," Arredondo said. "We have our schools who are equipped with social workers, psychologists, you know, their teams of support. And still, we need more support more hands on support," Arredondo said."We have designated staff members who are going to schools and having a table with resources and information and talking to families and hearing from them on what are their needs, but also sharing the resources that we have made available.
