AMP (Art, Music and PE)
Art, music, and physical education lessons will be provided to your child three days a week by one of the Arvada West area AMP teachers. These teachers are also teaching in-person classes at their school. This means in some instances, their lessons will be held live over Zoom for 30-45 minutes and at other times, students will engage independently on their AMP lessons. Your teachers will communicate their weekly AMP schedule once it is established. AMP classes will rotate on a different basis depending on your child’s class (every two weeks for some classes or longer for other classes). Please contact your child’s AMP teacher should the need arise and they will respond within 24 hours.

We're Having Trouble With Our iPad
- Call the school to arrange a time to come and do an update
- You can take a trip over to the school to do the update yourself. You don't have to enter the building, just sit outside close to the building. Here are the directions if you choose that route:
1. Make sure your iPad is completely charged.
2. Come to your home school and sit by the front doors of the building
3. Tap on the Settings app on the home screen
4. Make sure that the wi-fi says "Jeffco Internal"
5. Tap on the General tab on the left hand side of the screen
6. Tap on Software Update
7. Tap on Update
8. It will say "Preparing Update"
9. When prompted, tap on Install now
10. After everything is installed, turn the iPad off and back on again and make sure it connects one more time to the school network.
