Parents of high school students - the kick-off meeting for the Annual After-Prom is Monday, February 2nd at Sarah Hartigan's house: 25 Floyd Ave in CB South at 6:00pm. After-Prom is a late-night party offering fun, music, dancing, games, food, prizes and a safe place for all prom goers to let loose and spend time together in a substance-free environment. This event is provided at no cost to students and takes many hours of planning and substantial fundraising. Many hands make light work — anyone willing to help plan this awesome event is welcome and we are looking for parents to train that can take over next year! Please come with ideas, enthusiasm and friends! RSVP to hartigansarah@yahoo.com

Middle school skate night will be on Friday, February 6th from 7:30-8:30pm at Big Mine. There will be $1 hot cocoa and a raffle at the end of the night. Bring money for skate rental!

For the second year, a coalition of youth serving professionals are excited to be able to offer scholarships for local summer programming to youth living in the Gunnison Valley full-time in grades K-12! Access the application HERE. For Spanish flyer click HERE.

February is a month to celebrate connections, in families, schools, and communities.

Please email CBSSattendance@gunnisonschools.net if your student will be absent or needs to miss any classes.

In an effort to alleviate disruptions to classroom learning, if you need to pick up your child during the school day, please do your best to utilize a passing period. We understand that this may not always be possible, but when it is, it really benefits our learning environment. Per the student handbook, middle school students must be signed out from the front office by a guardian. Please also call ahead or email. High school students can sign out from the office on their own with guardian approval (email cbssattendance@gunnisonschools.net or call 970-641-7720). Thanks for your help and support!

Please contact Madeline Shugert, Secondary Office Manager, at madeline.shugert@gunnisonschools.net, or call the front office at (970) 641-7720.
