Principal Message - 

This shortened week has been amazing.  I was able to go to the outdoor lab on Wednesday to witness how our 6th grade students bonded together as they were challenged on numerous outdoor team activities.   Thank you to our great team of teachers and EA’s in 6th grade who put together an amazing experience for our students.  Also, thank you to the parents who volunteered for all the days.  I am sure they may be sleeping the next few days.  It was great to catch up with the parents who also came up for the day to help.

Johnny Appleseed day in Kinder was a hit.  We had a large contingent of parent volunteers who expressed positive feedback to the fun activities during the day.  Even our AP for the Primary, Mrs. Blanco dressed for the occasion and was heavily involved in the fun.

It’s official – October Count Day this year is Thursday, October 1. 

The most important action you can take to support school funding is to make sure your student attends school on that day. Much of public education funding from the State of Colorado is based on student count, so we encourage you to make sure your student comes to school that day.

The “count window” the state observes is from Thursday, September 24 through Thursday, October 8, but the most important student count day is Thursday, October 1. Help us get an accurate count by having your student participate in learning that day.

If your student will be absent on October 1 due to illness, please call our main office, 720-438-1011, to report the absence. Attendance during the “count window” will help counteract an absence on Thursday, October 1.

Thank you for your support of JA. Every student counts!
