A closer look at each location
Central Office
The Central Office at 35 Fifth Street is the administrative hub of the district. On the official site, the District menu covers district offices, the business office, human resources, registration, special education, technology, and more. If you are unsure which school to contact, the Central Office is a sensible starting point.
Bradley School and Irving School
Derby has two elementary schools. Bradley School is abbreviated “BRD” on the site and Irving School is “IRV.” Each has its own calendar page, labeled BRD Calendar and IRV Calendar. Which elementary school your child attends is a question for the district; check the Registration page on derbyps.org or call the Central Office.
Derby Middle School
Derby Middle School (DMS) sits at 73 Chatfield Street, right next to the high school campus. Its section includes a DMS Calendar, staff introductions, and a nurse page.
Derby High School and RAISE Academy
Derby High School (DHS) is home of the Derby Red Raiders. Its section is the largest, with extra pages such as Meet the Principal, Meet the Assistant Principal, Extracurricular Activities, and a Library Media Center. RAISE Academy, the district’s alternative high school program, operates at the same address. Our Derby High School guide walks through these pages in detail.
Little Raiders University
Little Raiders University (LRU) is the name of Derby’s early childhood and preschool program. The name ties into the Red Raiders identity used across the district. LRU has its own calendar page, and families should use the dedicated LRU phone number listed above.
