The school district thanks you as parents for your efforts helping us mitigate illness. Your efforts with symptom checks and staying home when sick have made a big difference in keeping our school operating with little to no restriction to the in-person learning we are able to provide. We have also noticed that some of you have made efforts to help us with the traffic flow in our student drop off and pick up area by using our parking spaces. Thank you! We still have work to do and continue to ask for your help in using our parking spaces and the overflow parking lot to improve the efficiency of flow and the safety of this area.

Colorado Preschool Program applications are available at Akron Head Start, ABC Development Center, Akron Preschool, and on the school website (akronrams.net under the Elementary School tab) and will be accepted starting January 1st .

If you have any questions, please contact Annette Blake @ (970)345-2266.

The Akron H.S. Knowledge Bowl team was at Valley High School in Gilcrest on Saturday for a competition. The Akron team participated in a written round and three oral rounds and finished right in the middle of all 15 teams that competed. Every member of the team took part in the event and gained some valuable experience for future competitions. Congratulations to our students and thank you to Mrs. Dana Pachner for coaching the team.

What is Cyberbullying?

Cyberbullying is the use of digital media (such as websites, apps, and text messages) to intimidate, upset, or harm someone. It includes repeatedly sending, posting, or sharing negative, harmful, or mean content about someone else on purpose. It is hard to pinpoint how common Cyberbullying is, but according to a 2018 Pew Research Center survey, a majority of teens reported (59 percent) having experienced "some form of cyberbullying" when it is defined to include name-calling and the spreading of rumors.

Parents and Guardians are the first line of defense when it comes to helping children navigate digital media. Frequent conversations within the family about safe and appropriate use helps guide children in this fast paced world of technology. Encourage children to set appropriate boundaries with others and monitor who they are spending their time with through digital media.
