Notes from the Office
Don't Forget! Show your Spirit on Tuesday for our Track Team! See details here
Watch DOGS! We want to show more of the amazing photos from the fall "DOGS," so stay tuned. See top picture of our "lead Dog" Chad Ochsner, along with Mark Holte, who brought joy on Wednesday. Watch DOGS make a huge difference to the culture and climate of our school, and we've have more this year than in the past, so THANK YOU. Want to sign up? Learn more here.
Library Shelf Elf? Got an hour? See Library request for help below! We love our library and our kids love to read! Thank you.
Green Thumbs? New Garden leader is needed. The garden gave abundant produce again this fall (25 pounds? Maybe more?), thanks to our intrepid Garden Guru Karen Fergason. This is Karen's last year, a "bonus year" in fact, and we are in need of a lead volunteer to help the transition. Interested? Contact the office. Also CHECK OUT the amazing pics and work of the garden over the last few years here. Special Thanks to Karen. R-O-C-K, You Rock! You Rock!
Tell us your experience! Jeffco invites you to participate in the School Enrollment Survey, open now through Friday November 17. Your feedback will play a key role in shaping the future of Jeffco's schools. We are eager to understand the reasons why you chose the school your student(s) attends and to learn which school programs matter most to you. Your insights will help us make informed decisions that improve the enrollment process and ensure that our programming aligns with your family's educational needs.

School Bus Passes Coming!
Attention all school bus riders! Bus passes will be distributed to school bus riders on Monday, October 23, 2023. Starting Monday, all transportation-eligible students are required to have their ZPass card at all times to board and then ride the bus. This system allows drivers to more quickly, and safely board riders, resulting in less traffic back-ups caused by stopped buses. Learn more about Zpasses and replacement here.
From the Red Rocks Library
Have an hour?
Volunteers are needed to check-in and shelve library books every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday for the entire year. This is a great time to help the library and have lunch with your child or get a good afterschool parking spot! Sign up for one day or multiple days on the Library’s Google Calendar. There are QR codes on the library computer for how to login to the system and on the re-shelving cart for how to shelve books.
