The James Denman Middle School PTSA (Parent Teacher Student Association) welcomes you to our community site, where we share family-related news, information about the PTSA and our events, how to participate in the community, and ways to donate to programs that benefit our students and staff.
Looking for information from our wonderful administration? Hop over to the Denman page at the SFUSD website.
The results are in, and the advisory classes that had the highest percent participation in the Denman Pride Fund contest—which ended in December 2025—are:
🎉 Grade 6, Annie Krambuhl
🎉 Grade 7, Volha Tokar
🎉 Grade 8, Kathryn Marcouiller

Congratulations on winning a class celebration (pizza party or other, up to the teacher) from the Denman PTSA! And thank you to everyone in the community who donated to the Denman Pride Fund. Your continued support shows that our students and their families are invested in their future—whether they are in 6th, 7th or 8th grade! 💓
Are you the parent who knows your kid's friends? Or someone who's good at sleuthing around and asking questions?
We need you to join the nominating committee!
In January and February, this small group reaches out to candidates for next year's executive board so we can keep supporting Denman's staff and students next year.
It's easy to make a difference at Denman Middle School. All levels of involvement, big and small, are needed and appreciated.
Fill out our interest form to share anything you'd like to participate in, and we'll contact you with reminders about volunteering and joining the PTSA.
Also, visit this page to learn how to connect with other families on social media and our community group platform, groups.io.
Join us for the third general PTSA meeting of the school year! Link is in the Principal’s weekly Family Bulletin and the reminder emails to PTSA members. Note that we are meeting in January instead of February as previously announced.

🗳 Elect the nominating committee to find candidates for the 2026–27 PTSA executive board
🗓 Upcoming events and help needed: Valentine's bake sale, Bingo Night, and auction
🥳 and lots more
We look forward to seeing you on Google Meet!
We invite participation in committees, which are small groups that help with PTSA operations:
Volunteer Committee: be notified first of volunteer needs and think of people who could help
Membership Committee: promote the benefits of PTSA membership
Nominating Committee: in January and February, identify and recruit Executive Board members for the following school year
Budget Committee: estimate how much we'll raise and prioritize our spending
Fundraising Committee: brainstorm, solicit donations, or plan/staff fundraising events
Grants Committee: review staff program grant applications several times a year and vote on whether to fund them
Financial Review Committee: twice a year in a short meeting, ensure that the Financial Reviewer examined our financial and legal records properly
✍️ Denman community members who like to show their love through baking, sign up to make delicious treats 🧁🍪 that come straight from the heart ❣️ and help the Denman PTSA support our great middle school meet the academic and social needs of our students! We'd also love help with setup, sales, and cleanup.
The sale will take place on Friday, February 13, outside near the front of the main entrance or in the main hallway (TBD) right after school.
