For students, DEN is 30 minutes in their day that lets them relax or work on homework. Den takes place on Mondays and Thursdays between second/sixth and third/seventh period.

Changes from last year include a new organization of the website, as well as stricter procedures. For example, students cannot leave their den class to go to another teacher’s room if they are not scheduled to be there. The administration also has a DEN committee that is taking teacher feedback to determine if DEN should be everyday for the second semester.

Last year, students found it difficult to log in to the DEN portal and change which DEN they wanted to be in. This year, the portal is available on all web browsers, and also on mobile devices.

The login of the DEN portal has been modified to make changing DEN classes simpler.
