Log Your Volunteer Hours
As the school year winds down, don’t forget to get credit for all your hard work! It is not too late to log your volunteer hours for the 2025–2026 school year on Track It Forward.
Last week, an update was emailed to all registered families showing your milestone progress for the school year. Please review this information and log any remaining hours or contributions. Our volunteer reporting year officially ends June 30. June board and committee meetings count towards this year's hours - check the Master Calendar for dates and times.
Please note that families who have not completed their volunteer hour commitment will be contacted in July.
Thank you for your incredible partnership and support this year!
Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS) Results

On May 29, you will be able to view your child’s Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS) state test results using the Colorado Department of Education’s new Family Portal. This secure website will allow you to easily see how your child performed on the state tests given each spring to students in grades 3–8.

If you have any questions, feel free to email the CCSD’s Office of Assessment and Performance Analytics with the subject line “CDE Family Portal”
Have a great summer!

Summer Reading and Readiness Packets
📚 Dive Into Summer Learning!
As we head into a well-deserved summer break, we want to ensure our students keep their momentum going! Our dedicated teachers have spent time carefully compiling Summer Reading and Readiness Packets for all returning students.
These aren't just "busy work"—they are purposefully designed to bridge the gap between grades, ensuring every student returns in August feeling confident, prepared, and ready to thrive from day one.
🍕 Elementary Pizza Party!
Students who turn in their readiness packet completed during the first week of school will join their homeroom teacher for a pizza party on Friday, August 14th.
Please be sure to review Middle School Packets for individual grade level expectations regarding completion of summer reading.
Parent Teacher Organization (PTO)
