Used Clothing needs
We are low on smaller girls underwear, leggings, and pants which we keep in the office. We could also use some smaller size t-shirts for all students. If you have anything you no longer need, please drop them off in the office. We use these for bathroom accidents, spills, and other clothing mishaps.
Mr Wiant’s Learning Videos
From Mr Wiant: As many of you know, I write a lot of songs to help teach concepts in my classroom. After many years of talking about it, I've recently started making videos to go along with the songs to help teach the concepts. I have begun posting these videos on my new Youtube channel. I wanted to make you aware in case they might be useful in your classroom or home, or in someone you know's classroom or home. I will continue to add videos, as I have many more to finish and am always writing new songs. Thank you!

School Pictures
If you ordered pictures they should have gone home with your student yesterday (or yet today). Otherwise, to order, log in to your account on mylifetouch.com or create an account using your student's student ID number. You can find ID numbers on Parent Portal or by contacting the office.
Reminder: October Count
On Tuesday, October 1, schools throughout the state of Colorado perform attendance counts. These counts determine funding allocations for schools and are vital for our budget and ensuring staffing and school support for your children. The district will receive ~$8400 per student this year. We request that all families have their children at school this day if at all possible. The exception to this is if your child is sick, please keep them at home of course!
