How do I Excuse my Student for an Appointment?
Blue Pass!!!!!
If you are needing to pick up your student at a certain time, Parents/Guardians are more than welcome to call us earlier in the day and we will be happy to deliver a blue pass to your student.
A Blue Pass is a student’s pass out of class. For example, if you have an orthodontist appointment in the afternoon, call the attendance line at 970-833-7105 and leave a message with your child’s name, your name and time you would like your student to be released. The school office will then deliver a "blue pass" to your student. When the designated time arrives, your child may show the teacher the blue pass and can leave class to meet you. They will already be checked out in our system and do not need to check out in the office. Parents/Guardians also do not need to come to the office when a Blue Pass is issued.
The Passionate Polyglot
Ich will (I want)!
I like Vin Diesel as an actor and my favorite movie of his is “XXX” (meaning three strikes). If you’ve never seen it, it begins with a scene in a club in Prague, Czech Republic and the German heavy metal group “Rammstein” is playing “Feur Frei”. “Rammstein” is not well known in the United States but is immensely popular in Germany; so much so that their song “Ich will” has become the official song of the German Paralympic team. “Rammstein” has produced eight videos to promote the Paralympic Games in Tokyo and the German team. The lyrics of the song ask “Do you see me? Do you believe me? Do you understand me?” This speaks to the nature of the games and the athletes competing. “Ich will” was originally released in 2001 but seems to have experienced a resurgence of popularity. The Heavy Metal genre of music isn’t for everyone, but the song and accompanying videos are powerful. Take a look at them, enjoy them, and appreciate the “blood, sweat, and tears” these athletes have gone through to make it onto the world stage. Alles gute für das Team Deutschland bei den Paralympics! Bis nächste Woche! До следующей недели! Alles gute! Всего хорошего!
