Incident on DSST: CG High School Campus Today

Dear DSST: Conservatory Green MS Families,

I’m writing to share information about an incident that occurred on our high school campus today. Because we are one campus, we want all our families to be in the know. This afternoon at about 3:25 p.m. as students were being dismissed from our high school campus, two CGHS students were struck by a vehicle at Central Park Boulevard and 56th Street. Thanks to the quick response of students and staff, the students involved were transported to the hospital immediately.

We are deeply grateful to the CGHS and Northfield staff who provided immediate support, as well as to the first responders who provided quick care to our students.

If any students heard about the incident, this can be traumatic for them. We have provided some resources below to support you in your conversations with your children.

• I Matter is a free Colorado program to provide mental health support for students.

• Contact the Mental Health Center of Denver at 303-504-1500 to find a community-based therapist if your student needs additional ongoing support.

• Information about the role of caring adults can be found here.

We will share more updates as we have them. Please keep the students involved and our high school community in your thoughts. Please reach out to me with any questions.

 

Thank you,

Jennifer Trainer 

School Director
