We have recently experienced some vandalism on the Slavens playground after school hours and on weekends. We ask our community to please help us keep our school safe and welcoming for students and community.

If you see suspicious activity or vandalism, please say something. You can report concerns to Denver Public Schools Safety and Security at 720-423-3911 or contact the Denver Police non-emergency line at 720-913-2000.

Thank you for helping us take care of our school and our neighborhood.

Do you want to help keep our students safe while making a positive impact on the Slavens community? We are looking for volunteers or paid crossing guards to assist with student safety during arrival and dismissal. This is a great way to get involved, help children keep safe, and even earn a little extra money.

If you are interested in volunteering or learning more about this opportunity, please reach out to Darcie Forde at [email protected]. Your help makes a difference!

The 2025–26 water year began with historically low snowpack, and severe drought persists across the state. Snowpack — which we depend on for our water supply — remains among the worst on record in our two primary watersheds: 55% of normal in the Colorado River Basin, the worst on record, and 42% of normal in the South Platte River Basin, the worst on record.

Given these conditions, the Denver Board of Water Commissioners declared a Stage 1 drought, which includes mandatory limits on outdoor watering. Customers are restricted to two assigned days per week. (Read more/leer más.)

While the declaration is effective immediately, there is no need to turn on automatic systems until at least mid- to late-May. It is not necessary to water grass two days a week in April and the beginning of May, and keeping these systems off will help save water. Occasional hand-watering may be necessary for trees and shrubs during this time.

Customers must also follow Denver Water’s standard summer watering rules and can expect to see increased enforcement of watering restrictions. In addition, a formal recommendation tied to drought pricing is expected to go to the Board of Water Commissioners on April 8. The temporary drought charges would place a premium on outdoor water use, and will be in customers' June water bills for water used in May. These steps will help preserve water levels in our reservoirs and reduce the likelihood of additional restrictions later this summer, as conditions are not improving.

We're excited to announce that the Your City Your Voice Community Engagement Report is LIVE! You can view the full report here. Key takeaways & community informed considerations begin on page 74. We want to hear from you on how we can make our community informed considerations work in Denver. We encourage you to share your thoughts at one of our upcoming open houses (see below for more details). We will take your feedback as we co-design policy that will shape the future of RNOs in Denver.

Thank you for your participation in this project, and we look forward to seeing your feedback on the considerations!
