🛎 Helpful Tips from PTSA & the Kinder Team

  • Label everything — water bottles, lunchboxes, jackets, change of clothes… if it can be dropped, it can be lost.
  • Drop-off & Pick-up: Use Door #19, located at the front of the school- to the right of the main doors!
  • Morning Start Time: Doors open at 8:35 AM (soft start).
  • Dismissal is at 3:45 PM — please be on time! Consider bringing a small snack for your kinder kiddo it can help with the afterschool “restraint collapse” (and let’s be real — everyone could use a snack at 3:45).
  • Arrive a little early for pick-up (5–10 minutes) to connect with other families and be ready when your Kindergartener comes out.
  • Walk when you can! It’s a great way to meet other families and enjoy the fresh air.
  • You’re in great hands — our Kindergarten teachers are the best of the best. 💛

❓Why do public schools fundraise?

Colorado public school funding covers the basic for our student’s educations. Community support help enhance and create a impactful and enriching experience for all students at our school!
