GOAT's Weekly Update-September 25th

Fall is upon us, and October is almost here! We encourage you to ask your student about their academic progress and how things are going at school. When students feel a strong connection between home and school, they are more likely to feel supported and experience greater success. Please contact your student’s teacher or the main office with any questions.

Continue supporting your student by reading together for at least 20 minutes each night and asking questions about what they read. Research shows that regular reading strengthens fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, and overall academic achievement.

Please also help your student complete their weekly math fluency homework. Repeated practice builds automaticity and confidence as classroom work becomes more challenging throughout the year.

Please take a few moments to read the important updates and reminders below. Thank you for staying informed and connected!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Attendance Matters—October Count Is Here! 🚌

The next two weeks are especially important as CSLA participates in October Count. Each year, public schools across Colorado report student enrollment and attendance information, which helps determine the funding schools receive to support programs, staffing, resources, and services for students.

Please help by making sure your student is at school and on time each day so they do not miss valuable learning. If your student will be absent, please call the main office so we can confirm they are safe and properly document the absence. Thank you for partnering with us to support strong attendance and student success!

Whole School Field Trip to Museum of Nature and Science: 🚌

Our all-school field trip to the Denver Museum of Nature & Science is Wednesday, October 7! Please return your student’s signed permission slip to their teacher by Wednesday, September 30.

Students should arrive at the regular 8:00 a.m. start time. Transportation, admission, and school-provided sack lunches are free. Approved parent volunteers are still needed—please contact your student’s teacher if you are interested in being a chaperone!

Plan ahead and help your student celebrate as we wrap up September and kick off October!

Students must participate in the daily theme or wear CSLA-approved attire. All clothing must still follow the District dress code. We can’t wait to see our students’ school spirit and pride—let’s have some fun, GOATS! 💙💚🐐🎉

If you would like to support our students and school through fun events and other opportunities throughout the year, please review the PTO yearly calendar below. If you are interested in volunteering in any way, contact the main office.

Strong family and school partnerships lead to student success. We would love to have you involved! 💚

Students must be in a CSLA approved uniform each day. CSLA apparel is available for purchase through the main office. Please check our website for specific details.
