Attendance Line and Student Absences
Thank you!
Extended Child Services- "Kids Club"
- As some of you may be aware, the Extended Child Services Department has an unprecedented number of employee vacancies due to the nationwide childcare employee shortage. This shortage has led to our Kids Club program enrollment to be capped in order to meet state licensing requirements. Thank you for your patience and understanding during this time. If you are interesting in working at our Extended Child Service Program (aka "Kids Club"), please CLICK HERE to learn more and to apply.
- In addition, please join me in thanking Mrs. Lori Matsumoto, who has graciously accepted the role of our Interim Director of Kids Club. Mrs. Matsumoto has been a para-educator and Before and After Care Leader in our program for over 10 years. I am very grateful for her leadership and commitment to our program during the absence of our Director, Karen Spears.
Crosswalks
Throughout my principalship at Cottonwood Creek, I have worked closely with our District Security Coordinator, Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office and the Traffic Engineer from Arapahoe County to brainstorm possible solutions for our arrival and dismissal procedures. This past year, one of the recommendations was to funnel all "foot traffic" through the intersection of E. Orchard Road and S. Lansing Court and the intersection of E. Orchard Road and S. Kingston Way where there are permanent stop signs. We implemented that strategy the first week of school, and like anything, we monitor and adjust. As I monitored this strategy the past couple of weeks, I found many people were continuing to utilize the crosswalk without a crossing guard and/or crossing further east up Orchard Road. This is concerning. The physical safety of our students, staff and families is a priority for me. Therefore, we must adjust. We have posted a Crossing Guard Position for the crosswalk near the pool. If you are invested in this position, please CLICK HERE to learn more and to apply.
Masks are required for ALL students and staff inside ALL CCSD school buildings.
Our students are doing a great job of wearing their masks at school. To help us, we ask you send your child to school with a mask that works for your child. For students who forget to bring a mask to school, we do provide them prior to building entry.
Thank you for helping keep our students, staff, and community safe.
