Doull Elementary : Welcome to Doull!

Welcome to Doull!

Doull Elementary is the gem of Harvey Park in southwest Denver. It is a beautiful brick school in a “brick neighborhood;” one that is solid and dedicated. The neighborhood is in the process of change: from senior citizens who raised their children going to Doull, to younger families who are seeking the stability that this neighborhood can provide.

Over the summer of 2010, Doull received a brand new playground! We are excited to offer students a protected environment for ECE and K, two sets of play equipment for older students, a colorful "blacktop" play area, a track, two fields (including a baseball field), and an outdoor classroom.

Parents who were surveyed have rated safety as an important factor in their choice of schools, and Doull has demonstrated its safety and preparedness. We want you to know How We Keep Everyone Safe.

Our curriculum supports each and every child.

We house a state-of-the-art computer lab, and interactive whiteboard technology four hands-on classroom lessons in math and science.

Our children attend a technology “specials” class every week. In addition, our schools has a mobile computer lab that brings the computers to the students.

We are proud of our professional, dedicated and compassionate "Faculty and Staff", some of whom have received a Denver Teacher Award or a Mile High Teacher Award in the past. Many of our teaching and support staff hold Masters degree levels of education or higher. Our teachers actively differentiate instruction to ensure that our students learn to read and write effectively, speak articulately and confidently, and think logically and creatively. We support and promote our community through family nights and events.

Doull is proud to be in a neighborhood that reflects the distinct social diversity of America. We value and embrace this diversity. Doull is home to students from Asia, Africa and the Americas.

We are proud to support the portion of our student body who are actively learning English, using a transitional native language instructional (TNLI) approach and English as a Second Language (ESL) Resource. These approaches are research based, and help students to learn English effectively. Within three years our English Language Learners are proving their academic language proficiency on the state CSAP test.

Students from Doull traditionally continue on to Henry Middle School, Kepner Middle School, Denver School of the Arts, KIPP Sunshine Academy and the Morey High Strides program.

We believe that students are better learners when the teachers and adults in their lives actively support their best behavior and learning. We encourage parents to help their kids by being an active VOLUNTEER. Click on the link for ideas.
