Raptor News
January 19, 2024
Happy Friday Raptor Families,
Colorado weather is always an adventure. It was great connecting with students online and in person this week. With all of our winter weather, please remind students to dress in layers. Please remember that students can be dropped off starting at 8:20 am, but before that there is no adult supervision.
Next week we have a home Girls Basketball Game vs Sunset MS on Monday, the 22nd. 5th-8th grade Wrestling registration also opens on Monday the 22nd, please see the link below for more information.
With the weather it is tempting to be in a rush, please be courteous at pick-up and drop-off and allow others to back out from the parking lot and exit. Thank you for helping keep our students safe. 1st-8th please use the west side parking lot for pick-up and drop-off. The front of the school is for Kindergarten drop-off and pick-up only.
We appreciate your support and involvement in our school community. Please let us know if you need any assistance.
Best Wishes,
Catrina Estrada, Principal
Sandra Vazquez, Assistant Principal
Matt Romig, Assistant Principal
Grant Elwood, Dean of Students
