Picture Packets - Families that ordered pictures will receive those packets in a few weeks. If you did not order pictures, you will receive a proof of your student's picture and can order online. Those that ordered pictures and would like their student to participate in retakes must bring in their packet on the retake day. Picture retakes will be on Wednesday, October 29.
October 1 Count - Schools are funded according to enrollment during the October 1 Count. The timeframe starts September 24 and ends on October 8. If your student will have an extended absence during these dates, please contact Shelly Cohen at 720-887-1992.
Attendance/tardies - It is okay to inform your student’s classroom teacher of an absence/tardy. However, the office officially keeps track of attendance. Best practice for parents/guardians is to input absences and tardies in the Infinite Campus Parent Portal. Parents/guardians may also call the attendance line at 303-438-1011 option 1.
Lost & Found - School has just begun and our Lost & Found areas are full. Please have your student check these areas for items. Parents may also come in and check after signing in at the office.
