Lena Archuleta Elementary

March 12 Police Presence >

03/13/25, 10:19 AM

Dear Archuleta Elementary Families,

 

At Archuleta, the safety and well-being of our students and families are our top priority. We believe it's essential to keep you informed about any events that may impact our school community.

 

On the morning of Wednesday, March 12, a significant police presence, including SWAT, Denver Police Department, and unmarked vehicles, was observed in the parking lot of the recreation center next to the school. Some members of the community believed that this involved ICE. After communicating with the DPS Department of Climate and Safety yesterday, we were able to confirm that this was not related to ICE.

 

We want to reassure all of our families and the broader DPS community that our schools remain a safe and welcoming environment. We are committed to maintaining this safety and will continue to do so to the best of our ability.

 

Thank you for your ongoing support.

 

Sincerely,  

 

Karen Matson 

Archuleta Elementary
