Principal Update 9.13.24

Picture Day

Picture Day was a big success. We were able to use the beautiful background of the canyon for our individual class pictures and then we also joined together for a school picture. A few of our homeschool families were able to make it for individual pictures. Picture purchases will be available online after they are processed.

There will be a makeup picture day coming soon. We will share that information when we have it and hopefully it will work out for us to get the remaining students individual pictures. We will join together on a Monday sometime soon and get a school picture that includes our homeschool students. 

Lockdown Drill

The lockdown drill went very well. The students were AWESOME and did exactly what they were asked to do. I am so proud of all of them. The chances we will ever be in a lockdown situation are slim, practicing brings us the confidence that if something did happen we all know what to do.  


PTO Meeting

JACCC first PTO meeting will be this Wednesday, September 18th @ 7pm in the library. All families are welcome to attend, so please come and support our school community. We are in need of a parent volunteer or a middle school student to provide supervision for kids during the meeting. If you or your middle schooler is able to help please call the office at (720)719-3003.

Clinic Needs

  • 1 exercise ball for students to sit on we only need one so please check to see if it has been donated before bringing one in.

  • Plastic grocery bags

If anyone is interested in donating these items, they can be dropped off in the office.

Big THANK YOU to all of the families who donated clothing for the clinic! 

October Count Days

October 1st-8th are the state October Count Days where our attendance will be tracked for per pupil revenue. It is important for students to attend these days so we can get the appropriate state funding for our school. We never want students to come to school if they are ill but if at all possible we would love to see 100% attendance this week. Thank you for your support.
