Pizza with the Principal
We will be hosting our first “Pizza with the Principal” on September 23 at 5 p.m. here at JFK. We invite you to come hear about what is happening in the building and other important information like our School Performance Framework and our Unified Improvement Plan. We will send out more information in next week's Commander Communicator.
Cell Phone Policy
Cell phones may not be used in any classrooms unless explicitly approved by the teacher for learning purposes. This includes the use of headphones.
Families can call the Main Office (720-423-4300) if they need to get in touch with their student(s) during the school day.
Student Drop Off
To better control traffic flow in the morning, students must be dropped off and enter through the student parking lot entrance. (Please reference the map below)
Students will not be let into the East side of the building unless they are with a parent who is checking in. All students must enter on the West side of the building next to the student parking lot. Please be sure to drop your student off on the West side of the building and not the East side of the building near the main office
Athletics
Homecoming is going to be the week of October 28th. We are excited to continue our Homecoming Parade, which is a long standing tradition. Alumni, please be on the lookout for information about how you can support and participate in homecoming week.
