Enroll

All students will use Enroll Jeffco to indicate where they will be attending school in August whether students are re-enrolling at the same school, changing schools or just starting in Jeffco.

School choice is an important responsibility of all families. Dennison is an option school that has a textbook-based instructional model with a traditional philosophy of education. Parents must thoughtfully select the right school for their student(s).
