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.
NEXT WEEK IS STEAM Night on Wed., Dec. 10 from 5:30–7pm—one of our biggest and most exciting events of the year! Enjoy music performances, student showcases, and tons of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math activities and games.
We’ll start with a quick welcome and performances in the auditorium, then explore open-house activities. Pick up a BINGO card and stamp your way to prize entries! 🎉
The PTSA will be selling refreshments to support Denman programs. (Sign up here to donate food or your time to the sale or the marshmallow tower building booth.)
Prospective families welcome—invite your 4th and 5th grade friends!

Want to know more about the community at Denman? Volunteering on the PTSA Executive Board is a great way to learn. No experience is required!
We are seeking a VP of Community for this school year. This role helps get the word out to our community—especially Spanish-speaking families—and make them feel welcome. It's similar to this CA PTA Job Description.
We also 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
