Parent Communication & Handbook
Thursday Folders
Important information goes home every week!
Every Thursday, students bring home their Thursday Folder. These folders will contain valuable information from their classroom teachers, specials teachers, and the office. Please make sure you review your child’s folder with him/her to help you stay up to date!
Follow Us & Keep your information Updated
Follow us on Facebook and Instagram for important updates and information. Please keep your phone number and email up to date to receive our text messages and emails. We rely on your phone number to send out important reminders through text or calls. If you do not receive the text messages from Cowell please text “yes” to 98900 to receive the texts.
Parent/Guardian Handbook
Our Parent/Student Handbook serves as an important source of information for each of you. We have included helpful information to ensure a successful school year. Please read through the handbook and keep in mind that more detailed policies and procedures are available at your request. We sincerely hope you all have an enjoyable and successful year. If you have any questions or we can further support you, please contact us at 720-424-8300.
Late Arrival & Early Dismissal
Late Arrival- If your student, Kinder-5th, arrives after 8:05am they are considered tardy. Please stop by the office to sign in your student and for your student to receive a tardy pass. ECE students are considered tardy after 8:10am.
Early dismissal- It is extremely difficult to accommodate early pick ups during dismissal time. If you need to pick up your student(s) early, please come by the office before 2:40 pm.
Parent & Student Handbook Reminders: Birthday Treats
Due to the increased amount of allergy issues and concern for impacted instructional time, we will celebrate birthdays at the end of the day right before dismissal on Fridays. Please contact your child’s teacher to make arrangements (only store bought food/treats are permitted).
