Message from the Principal 

Cory Families, 

At our school, the safety and mental health of our students are always a top priority. When students express a need for additional support, it is an opportunity for all of us—teachers, parents, community members, and students—to work together. By collaborating, we ensure every child feels seen, valued, and supported.

We also want to assure you that we approach these matters with the utmost respect for confidentiality and the rights of our students. At the same time, we uphold a commitment to the principle of “if you hear something, say something,” so that all students and families can access the resources and support they need.

Thank you for being an essential part of this partnership. Together, we can make a meaningful and positive difference in our students’ lives.

Have a great weekend! 

Joan and Anna 


Please pack healthy snacks for the students to eat during the snack break. 

On P.E. days, please make sure your child is wearing shoes appropriate for P.E.  

Please do not park in the handicap spots unless you have a handicap pass.

Please do not use the small parking lot for pick up or drop off of any students

Please do not park in the Reserved family spots at any time even after school lets out as families can be picking up students later and have purchased those spots for anytime!

School lunch is free for all Colorado students if they take a full hot lunch that includes an entree, milk and fruit/veggie bar. 

If a student only wants milk OR fruit/veggie bar, they need to have money in their Myschoolbucks lunch account. 

Please make sure to put money on your students account so they are able to purchase other items if they would like. Thank you so much for your support.
