Here is the link to the 26-27 Calendar for planning purposes. Please try to schedule vacations around the school schedule if at all possible. Attendance is very important.

Monday - Thursday: We begin morning drop off at 8:20 am. Please do not leave children before staff open the doors for safety reasons. The tardy bell rings at 8:35 am. We begin dismissing students to cars at 3:20 pm, and are done with this process at 3:40 pm. Bus riders and walkers leave the classrooms at 3:30 pm.

Note: Professional Learning Communities begin District-wide this year. School for all DCSD Schools will begin 45 minutes later for protected Professional Learning Community time for the staff.

School will begin at 9:15 every Friday (tardy bell at 9:20) with drop off beginning at 9:05. Please see this link for all details regarding this change. Dismissal will remain the same every day of the week.

Parent Portal Accounts:

If your family is new to the District, please watch for an email from Douglas County School District to create your Parent Portal Account for your child(ren). New families might not see this until July 1st when your student's line of enrollment becomes active. These accounts are very important as they give you access to all of your student information and allow you to complete required tasks regarding your child’s education within DCSD.

Express Check In:

Once you have an established Parent Portal Account, you can complete Express Check In when it becomes available at the end of July. You will receive communication when it is active. You will be routed through the Engaged Parent Portal, where you will log in with your username@p.dcsdk12.org. Your password will be the same as your Parent Portal Password.

You will need to complete Express Check In for your student(s) before the first day of school. It is linked here for your convenience. This is required by the District.

If you did not purchase an EduKit, please see the lists linked here by grade level for your shopping purposes.

Please plan to bring these supplies to Meet & Greet the day before school starts.

Join our Principal, Dr. Thelen, and Assistant Principal, Ms. Weil at TTE for an informal get together. Popsicles will be provided for students by our PTO.

Please plan to come during your grade level window of time listed below to ensure the parking lot is not overcrowded.

Friday - July 31st

KG, 1st & 2nd - 10:30 am - 11:45 pm

3rd, 4th & 5th - 11:45 pm - 1:00 pm

All families grades 1-5 will be invited to our Meet and Greet on Tuesday, August 11th anytime from 1:00-3:00 pm. You will come in and meet your teacher(s) and leave your school supplies if you did not order an EduKit. Please plan to stagger the times of arrival to allow flow in the parking lot. There will be a lot of families coming and going, and unfortunately we do not have a large parking lot.

• Kindergarten details will be separate for Meet & Greet.
• Teacher assignments for all students will be released to families soon.

We are thrilled to have your Kindergartener joining our school for the 26-27 School Year. We have a special transition process in place for our Kindergarten students called Balanced Beginnings.

Schedules will be shared with Kindergarten Parents once finalized, so watch for that information to come separately soon.

Please note that all medications must be kept in the office and administered by Health Room Staff. This includes anything over the counter. If your child will required medication(s) during the school day, please complete this form and have it signed by their physician. You can bring the medication and form to Meet & Greet to check it in with the office staff.

Students are welcome to have breakfast at school between 8:20 and 8:30 Monday thru Thursday. Breakfast will be between 9:05 and 9:15 on Fridays.

Aftercare is offered from 3:30 P.M. to 6:00 P.M. We run our program out of the cafeteria. We also provide full-day care; most days the school is closed from 7:00 A.M. to 5:30 P.M.

Please reach out if you have any questions. My email is mjleclaire@dcsdk12.org and our phone number is 303-387-5756. Visit our website here.

We have a wonderful PTO and they would love to include you! They have created a summary page of who they are, and reasons to join with activities that they always welcome help with. You can learn more about our PTO linked here.

Our first PTO meeting will be on Monday, August 17th at 9:00 am in the Cafeteria. Everyone is welcome to join to learn more about what the PTO has planned for this school year. Be sure to sign up to volunteer for anything that interests you when you complete the Express Check in process.
