WE NEED APPLES! - We can only have apple cider IF we get more apple donations! Do you have apples growing on your local trees? Do some apple picking this week and drop them off at our Golden Campus! (ASAP if possible so we can plan accordingly!) 

Cash Preferred - Cash is preferred at Harvest Fest. There will be a way to get cash using Venmo, but if you can bring your own cash, that would be great! 

High School Open House - Come check out the high school open house and coffee shop from 10am - 12pm in the Compass High School. 

Heads up about parking at Harvest Fest - Parking is available in our school parking lot, and in the overflow parking lot down by the train museum. (We’ll have a small golf cart helping guests get back and forth, but please bring your patience with you!) 

Hope to see you there!

Join us for this Jeffco Public Schools event on school safety on Oct 22nd.

This presentation will provide an overview of the Department of School Safety, including prevention efforts, building safety measures, emergency preparedness, drills and training, and the Standard Response Protocol used across the district.

- Online & Social Media Safety: Join Arvada Police Department School Resource Officer Ortega and Jeffco’s Suicide Prevention Coordinator, Deb Gopstein, for a conversation about navigating online spaces and supporting students' digital safety and mental well-being.

Dear parents,

School pictures are ready!

Your child’s school pictures are now available! To view them online, please log in to your account at mylifetouch.com. If you don’t have an account yet, you can create one using your email address. You’ll need your student’s ID number or their portrait id and access code to locate their photos.

Thank you! —The Lifetouch Team

Help us Load the the teacher's Lounge!

Did you know that schools cannot purchase food, drinks, snacks etc for teachers' lounges? It's true! We rely on our foundation and volunteers to help us keep the teachers' lounge stocked!

We've created an easy sign up for families to contribute directly by dropping off coffee, chocolate, snacks, etc on chosen weeks. WE SO APPRECIATE YOU!
