Please Join Principal Munguia for the Principal Advisory Meeting
Dear JRLP Families,
I hope this message finds you well. At JRLP we are committed to fostering a strong partnership between our school and our students' families. We believe that your valuable insights and perspectives can play a crucial role in shaping the future of our school and ensuring its accountability.
With this in mind, I am excited to announce the formation of our Principal Advisory Group. This group will serve as a platform for open dialogue and collaboration between our school's leadership and our dedicated families, with a specific focus on school accountability.
What is the Principal Advisory Group?:
The Principal Advisory Group is an opportunity for family members to come together with the school's principal (that's me!) to discuss important matters related to our school's accountability. We are looking for enthusiastic individuals who are passionate about education and want to contribute to the continued success of our online learning community.
Why Join:
• Make an Impact: Your input and ideas can directly influence our school's policies and initiatives, ensuring they align with the needs and expectations of our students and families.
• Stay Informed: Gain deeper insights into our school's operations, goals, and strategies to help your family navigate the online learning environment more effectively.
• Connect with Peers: Collaborate with other dedicated family members who share your commitment to quality education.
How It Works:
• The group will meet quarterly (immediately before our PTSO meeting), allowing for regular updates and discussions on school accountability.
• Meetings will be conducted via Google Meet to accommodate our online learning environment.
• Topics may include curriculum improvements, assessment strategies, parent involvement, and more.
Who Can Join:
We invite all family members who are interested in contributing to our school's accountability efforts to participate. Whether you are a parent, guardian, or close relative of a student at JRLP your perspective matters.
How to Participate:
If you are interested in joining our Principal Advisory Group, please join our second meeting on January 11, 2024 at 6:00pm at the following meet link: meet.google.com/uum-rwda-kkd
We believe that together, we can enhance the educational experience for all our students and families. Your involvement in the Principal Advisory Group will help us chart a course for continued success and accountability at JRLP
Thank you for your dedication to our school community. We look forward to working closely with you in shaping a brighter future for our students.
Warm regards,
Kala Munguia Principal, JRLP

Attendance Policy
Please Read the Attendance Policy:
The knowledge and skills that will be gained in educational courses highly depend on participation in class learning activities. Students are expected to attend and participate in all class sessions unless in the case of illness or a valid reason for missing.
To be counted as attending, the student is present in class meets and participating at least 50% of the time, in accordance with Colorado State law. Participation may include, but is not limited to:
Cameras on during attendance and direct instruction. If the camera is out of service, this must be communicated to the teacher in a timely manner.
Un-muting to speak or using Chat in Meet or Google to respond to class discussions and instructor inquiries, including work time in breakout rooms.
Showing evidence of completed work/assignments during class meet time.
Joining breakout rooms when assigned in a timely manner.
Active use of Chromebook with enabled keyboard to engage in class work.
If a student leaves class early or must miss class due to one of the excused absence reasons listed below, or due to internet/technical issues, they must be called in by a parent or guardian through the attendance line (303-982-6996).
From Jefferson County Board Policy:
A student’s attendance will be changed to “absent” and noted as unresponsive in Infinite Campus if participation is not given for at least 50% of the class time.: If a student is having difficulties meeting the requirements, they should reach out to the instructor to discuss options for meeting the learning requirements necessary to earn credit in the course.
Excused Absences:
A student who is temporarily ill or injured or whose absence is approved by the school administration on a prearranged basis. Prearranged absences shall be approved for appointments or circumstances of a serious nature only, which cannot be taken care of outside of school hours.
A student who is absent for an extended period due to physical, mental, or emotional disability.
A student attending a funeral or to legal obligations.
Unexcused Absences:
Unexcused absences are defined as absences not covered by the foregoing exceptions. Each unexcused absence will be entered on the student's record. The parents or guardian of the student receiving an unexcused absence will be notified by the school of the unexcused absence.
The District may initiate judicial proceedings to enforce compulsory attendance if a student is absent four days in one month or 10 days in one year. 6 Tardies = 1 absence
