2023/2024 School Year
Will you be returning to Ponderosa for the 2023/2024 school year? Please be sure to complete the Annual Family Check-In (instructions below).
If you are NOT planning to return, please call the office at 970-679-9500 to let us know where your child will be attending so we are able to help you make a smooth transition for your child to their new school.
Annual Family Check-In (AFC)
In order to make the transition into the coming year, we need a parent/guardian in the current student's primary household to review and sign permission forms, update (if needed) the student's household information, emergency contacts and health information. The Annual Family Check-In is located in the Parent Portal Account. For assistance, please contact Portal@TSD.org. The Annual Family Check-In is required for ALL current students.
