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.
If you're assigned to Denman for the 2026–27 school year, you're warmly invited to our upcoming Incoming Student Night on Tuesday, March 24 at 5:30pm in the library.
Hear school highlights plus our student panel, similar to what was presented on our school tours. Meet the PTSA outside the library—we’ll have some snacks and information on participating in our community. Feel free to ask our parents questions!
To get to the library from the front entrance on Oneida Ave., walk down the stairs, through the double doors that take you through the “breezeway” and back inside, and the library will be on your left.
