From the Dean's Office:
REMINDER: Students should NOT bring any toys, balls, or cards to school. Students should not bring their own soccer or basketballs even for play before school. Teachers and staff will collect items that are distracting to the learning environment. Collected items will be returned at the end of the day. Also, cell phones need to be stored in a backpack during school hours or left at home.
Traffic Map and Tips
We are a small campus with more than 680 students! Safety of our students before and afterschool is a priority. View the traffic map that will support you to find the best way to get to school to drop off or pick up your child.
Here is a tip: We begin supervision at 7:25 and we see very little traffic before 7:35. If you come after 7:35 drop off will take a bit more time causing your child to be late. So, plan ahead and come early!

Unexcused Absences
Student attendance at school is so important! Recently we’ve noticed students being absent from school without an excuse. We know you care about your child and believe it is very important to give children the best opportunity to learn the skills necessary for success in their future. We know that sometimes students are sick or have a family emergency. When students are out without a reason, their absence is marked UNEXCUSED.
We know you care about your child and believe it is very important to give children the best opportunity to learn the skills necessary for success in their future. Attending school on a regular basis is one way to support your child’s education. We are here to help!
Please text the Attendance Talking Points when your child is absent. If you need the link to the Attendance Talking Points please call the main office 303-366-9594.
Thank you for joining us and working as a team for the success of all of our students.
Arriving on Campus
Our main entrance is located on Virginia Court near the flag poles. Identification is required to sign into the school and to pick up students during the school day.
Supervision starts at 7:25. To ensure student safety, please do not bring students to school before 7:25. The first bell rings at 7:43 and students are brought inside at 7:45.
-
Kindergarten-second grade students go to the primary playground on the north side of the building near the circular car lane.
-
Third-fifth grade students go to the intermediate playground until the bell rings.
Students who arrive after Teachers have gone inside will need to report to the main office for a late/tardy slip.
Dismissal from School
The bell rings at 2:15 and all students should leave campus by 2:25. Students will be dismissed at the same place where they line up in the morning. Please let your child’s teacher know how they will be dismissed each day.
Cold and Wet Weather
We monitor weather conditions carefully. At this time of year the mornings are much colder. Here’s how we make decisions about whether students have inside recess:
- If temps are below 20 degrees (including wind chill)
- If it is raining or snowing enough that students would be wet when they come into the building
- Our students go outside for recess when the temperature is above 20 degrees. This gives our kids fresh air, which is so good for their health and wellness.
Warm jackets, mittens, hats, snow boots and other cold weather clothing are needed for Colorado weather. If your children need warm clothes, please reach out to Sofia Alfaro, the Family Engagement Advisor at [email protected]
