February 20th, 2026 Principal's Message
Hello Blevins Families,
Thank you to all of our families who joined us for Student-Led Conferences this week. It was incredible to see our students confidently share their learning, reflect on their growth, and set goals for the remainder of the year. They did a truly wonderful job leading these conversations, and we appreciate your partnership in supporting their progress.
If you would like additional time with a specific teacher, please know that you are always welcome to reach out directly to set up an individual conference. Our staff values ongoing communication and collaboration with families.
Our Band and Orchestra programs have also been busy representing Blevins out in the community! Today, they visited Bauder and Olander Elementary Schools to share more about our music programs and inspire future Bruins. Next week, they’ll visit Bennett and Beattie. We love seeing our students serve as ambassadors and showcase the opportunities available at Blevins.
Today, our GT students welcomed a visit from Jared Woodcox, a Fort Collins raised young adult fiction author. He shared with students about the creative writing process and engaged them in activities that build the students' capacity to "show not tell" when writing. It's amazing to see the opportunities Ms. Jankow is creating for our students in their monthly enrichment activities!
Please join us for our monthly PTO meeting on Tuesday from 5:30–7:00 PM. Your involvement and voice make a difference, and we are grateful for the strong partnership between school and families.
Finally, a big shout-out to our wrestling team for an outstanding home meet against Boltz yesterday. Their effort, discipline, and sportsmanship were on full display. We are proud of how they continue to represent Blevins.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Proudly,
Joe Zappa, Principal
