Colts Chronicle

Welcome Back Cimarron Community! We hope that the break allowed time for families to reconnect and relax. 3rd quarter is off to a great start with students super eager to get back to school this week. The smiles on faces truly gives Cimarron its day-to-day energy.

Please be reminded that the area behind the school is not designated for student drop off or pick up. This area is for school buses only or for families with pre-approved permission to drop off in that area. If you are driving your students to and/or from school, the only area to do this is in the carline in front of Cimarron. Thank you for your understanding and support as we ensure that all students are kept safe during the high traffic times around Cimarron.

Any person picking up a student must be listed either as a household member or as an emergency contact in the student profile. If someone is picking up your student, and they are not listed as an emergency contact, the student will not be released until we have written permission from a parent, which will cause a delay in the release time. To avoid these delays, please verify your student’s emergency contact list in Infinite Campus.

If you want to add or remove emergency contacts, please complete this request form. You will receive a confirmation email once a contact has been added or removed.

Please provide us feedback on a proposed schedule for next school year by clicking here.

Please drop off all donations at the front office. We appreciate you!

We are in need of tissue boxes with the recent increase in sickness, sneezes, and sniffles at Cimarron. Please bring a box or send it with your student if you are able to.

If you are able, please donate $5 gift cards to support our Be Red card Friday Drawings. Students love Fika, Starbucks, Chick-fil-A, Berry Blendz, Swirls, Target gift cards.

6th grade is also looking for various small item donations (fidget toys, play dough, other dollar store fun items, silly objects, etc.) for our Friday red card drawing prize bin. Please mention "The 6th grade prize bin," when you drop off.

Mindfulness: During Advisement once a week, for the past 8 weeks of school, students have been given several quick tools to help regulate emotions to help ease Anxiety and/or Stress and the difference between the two.

Open the door to conversation and ask your student what tools work for them and perhaps share what works for you! (Writing, Exercise, Mindfulness, Reading, Music, Distraction, a Hobby)

Two examples they may have done are :

Mindful walk: notice 5 things in the building you have not noticed before or

Stay: Spot every color in the rainbow in your room (5 red, 4 orange, 3 yellow, 2 blue, 1 green).

Mindful minute video- Beach

Here is a tool for study time at home: Focus music

We are in need of possible community volunteers to help out at various sporting events starting in January. If you are interested and available during the weeks starting at 4:00 please fill out the Athletic Games Community Volunteer Form.

8th grade boys basketball registration is open in MySchoolBucks. First day of practice will be Monday, January 23rd and a current sports physical is required in order to participate.

Legend High School’s Wish Week will take place February 3rd- February 11th 2023.

As you may know, the students of Legend High School come together each year to host a Wish Week to raise money for Make-A-Wish® Colorado and help create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. We would like to invite you to join us and help grant wishes for these kids.

These wishes are unique, powerful, and life-changing. Wishes have proven physical and emotional benefits that can give children with critical illnesses a higher chance of survival. When a wish is granted, a child replaces fear with confidence, sadness with joy, and anxiety with hope. A wish transforms the lives of children, their families, volunteers, supporters, medical professionals, and entire communities.

More details about how our community can support will be coming soon!
