Campus Tour Program
In order to meet the increasing demand of students interested in touring the school, we have created a “campus tour” program for students. The student advisors provide tours every Wednesday at 10 a.m. Tours must be scheduled at least two days in advance by calling or emailing Frank Aguilar in the PR/Marketing Office (frank_aguilar@dpsk12.org or 720-423-4755).

Flyer Template
You may have received the new flyer template in your mailbox (with a funny picture of our staff). We created this flyer to assist you to market your class, program, events or projects. We encourage you to use this template whenever you would normally think to create a flyer. It was designed to help you with your efforts, be easy to use, and also help promote the school brand and logo. Please call or stop by if you have any questions or need help using this new tool. Here’s the link to the Marketing Tool Kit and the flyer template: http://www.egos-school.com/intranet/public/press. There area also other tools in the took kit such as a press release worksheet, photo tips and more.

Opportunity Now Program
Even though our enrollment is up from last year, we want to continue to help more students. Therefore we have created the Opportunity Now Program. This program offers 150,000 households in select zip codes an offer for the first semester credit hour free when they enroll at Emily Griffith Opportunity School. The flyers are set to hit the streets on December 9-10. We are also purchasing increased television ads from now through the February when spring classes start.
