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.
This Friday, October 30, send a few $ with your kids to treat themselves (and you!) at the Denman PTSA’s Halloween Bake Sale from 4–4:45 pm in front of the school.
We'll be selling baked goods—including brownies, muffins, cupcakes, and chocolate chip cookies—to raise funds for school activities.
We accept cash, Apple Pay, Venmo, PayPal, credit cards, and more.
Want to get involved? We could still use a few helpers to sell and clean up.
