McKinley-Thatcher is excited to host school tours for prospective families interested in enrolling with us for the 2025-2026 school year.
Please note that an RSVP for each guest is required in order to attend a tour. Space is limited for our tours, so please plan to only attend one.
Tours are about 60 minutes in length and include a tour of our building, visits to our ECE and kindergarten classrooms, and an open Q&A session with our school leaders.
Please click on the RSVP link above for the tour that you would like to attend. Once you have submitted your RSVP, you will receive a reminder email from our main office two business days before your tour.
Please contact our main office with questions or for additional information: (720) 424-5600 or McKinley_Thatcher@dpsk12.org.
Interpretation services for tours are available upon request. Services must be requested two weeks in advance. Please request interpretation services by calling our main office at (720) 424-5600, emailing us at McKinley_Thatcher@dpsk12.org, or stopping by our main office. We can also help you RSVP for your preferred tour date!
We are proud to share our interactive Virtual School Tour experience! This virtual tour is a great way to see our grounds, building, and classrooms from the comfort and safety of your own home.
