Dear Families,
I wanted to highlight that Winter Parent Teacher Conferences are coming up on Thursday, February 13 from 4-7:30 p.m.
Here are some things to know about that evening:
- These will be all open conferences, where you are welcome to visit with your students' teachers any time between 4:00 and 7:30 that works well for your family.
- Please bring your student with you!
- They may set a timer in order to hold themselves accountable to a time limit.
- They may open their classroom to all families waiting for a conference so that those waiting have a comfortable place to sit.
- If you feel you need a longer timeframe or a more private environment to speak to one or more of your student's teachers, please reach out to your counselor: Ms. Gaines (for students with last names A-K at Kelsey.Gaines@jeffco.k12.co.us) or Mr. Gordon (for students with last names L-Z at Guy.Gordon@jeffco.k12.co.us). They will be glad to set up a different time and date for you to have your discussion.
Thanks, as always, for sharing your kids with us. It is our honor to serve them.

EFFORT
Trevor tried his hardest in P.E. and always had fun.
Kaitlyn Mitchell always makes an effort to include people and be kind to everyone. Thanks, Kaitlyn!
Zoe Pond is always trying her best and asking questions when she is confused and always someone you can laugh with.
Musical Theater kids worked really hard to get through auditions. I wish them good luck in the next semester!
Ms. Norton was subbing for our math class and really brightened up the room with her jokes. I was happy the rest of the day.
ACHIEVEMENT
Thank you to Maizy Hoffman for being our incredible tour guide this year! You were articulate, poised and knowledgable, and the families who came to visit our school were so impressed by you. I appreciate you giving your Access time to represent our school!
Cole Mortell does his best to have great grades in every class!
RESPECT
At lunch in the beginning of the week a friend spit out her gatorade, and Sally Kohara didn't laugh at her or make her feel embarrassed. She instead helped her clean it up and was really nice and respectful.
Logan Lardie and Murphy Shanley always make me laugh and make school 10x more enjoyable.
Deven Lucero is always making people laugh when they are having a bad day. He has the brightest smile and is always helping people.Thanks for being awesome Deven!
TEAMWORK
Braeden Thompson helped me find an idea ELA and helped me find websites so that I was not behind. Thanks!
One time I couldn't get my locker opened, and Hannah Yevara stayed with me until someone came and helped me.
I was struggling to find out what to do for my passion project and my friend Raegan helped me.
