- Attendance & Tardies - If your student is absent or tardy, please complete the Attendance Form or call the attendance line with an explanation. Please read the attendance, absent policy and tardy information in the Parent Handbook thoroughly. We are following Jeffco policy for attendance this year, so it's important that parents and guardians are familiar with this information.
-
- Infinite Campus Parent Portal - Please log into your Infinite Campus Parent Portal, and update your contact information, emergency contacts and upload your child's immunizations (annually) and birth certificate (ALL NEW AND RETURNING students must do this. We now need uploaded copies, so returning families should complete this step, even if they'd submitted these documents in the past. If you're having trouble uploading them in IC, you can drop off hard copies in the front office.) Click here for helpful tips from Jeffco when accessing Infinite Campus this year. (Once you enter Elementary, you only need to upload Immunizations, Birth Certificate and proof of residency in Infinite Campus. If your child has additional medical needs, you should submit those medical forms (below) to our Clinic Aide. Yes, it's true there is MUCH less paperwork in Elementary vs. Children's House!
-
- Calendar - Check the school calendar on on our website regularly! Please note, our charter school calendar is not always exactly the same as Jeffco’s calendar, so always cross reference.
-
- Family & Student Handbook - All parents must sign that they've read and acknowledge the Family & Parent Handbook each year. The handbook includes policies for attendance, hours, enrollment, fees, conferences, student support, trips, safety and more! It's a great place to look if you have questions throughout the school year.

- Photo Opt OUT Form - You only need to complete THIS FORM if you DO NOT want your child in any photographs at school. If you give permission for them to be in photos to represent our school, no action is required.

Does Compass require school supplies?
“Material Fees” are typically added to your Infinite Campus Parent Portal fees list, in lieu of school supplies. We do not require parents to purchase school supplies in addition to that fee. However, the 2022 - 2023 Materials Fee for our Children's House Programs have been paid by the Child Care Operations Stabilization Grant, and no material fee is required this year to allow for some financial relief for Children's House families.
When does hot lunch begin?
Sept 6th, please pack a lunch until then. Sept Hot Lunch Order Forms are open and due Sunday, August 21st!
When does after school Enrichment start?
The week of August 29th.
What is after school Enrichment?
Enrichment classes are after school class opportunities beginning at 3:00 PM (usually one hour) in six week sessions throughout the school year. Class examples include Art, Soccer, Music and more! Outside vendors come to our school to teach these classes, and registration is completed directly with those vendors, and is completely separate from our Compass staff. Watch our newsletter and website for Enrichment registration information the first week of school!
When does Before & After Care begin?
Wednesday, August 17th at both campuses.
Wheat Ridge - Register HERE
Before & After Care at our Wheat Ridge campus is managed by Amy Ball ([email protected]), our Compass Children’s House Director.
Golden Campus
Our Golden campus Before & After Care program is managed by an outside vendor, and you may read more about Kid SmART here.
What if my child goes to After Care, but I sign them up for an Enrichment class?
Your child will be taken to after care immediately following their enrichment class, and you may pick them up from there.
What’s the difference between Before & After Care and Enrichment?
Before and After Care is child care before and after school for parents who need to pick up their child later than, or drop off earlier than school hours. Enrichment is classes hosted by outside vendors, such as art, soccer and music. Enrichment classes usually last about one hour after school.
