Bricks are available for $100, cash or check; checks made payable to High Plains School. Checks or cash can be hand delivered or mailed to the school.

8th Grade iReady
As our eighth grade students complete their end-of-year (EOY) iReady assessments (May 6-May 17), TSD schools wish to provide an opportunity and incentive for students to try their best. Eighth grade students who complete either EOY diagnostic with an overall score in the mid-above placement level will be exempt from taking their iReady diagnostic in high school.
Eighth graders must score at least 541 on their EOY Math diagnostic to be exempt from taking the iReady Math diagnostic in high school.
Eighth graders must score at least 642 on their EOY Reading diagnostic to be exempt from taking the iReady Reading diagnostic in high school.
If you have questions, please contact your child’s ELA, Math, or Advisory teacher.
Day Without Hate
On Monday, April 29, we will be participating in “A Day Without Hate” at HPS. This is a day where we put differences aside and recognize how alike we really are. We are extremely excited about this day, and we want to make sure you are fully prepared so that you can aid us in making this day a success for your child.
A Day Without Hate is a student-led, grassroots organization that promotes nonviolence, respect, and unity within our schools. It was started by students in a Jeffco High School. We aim to create a sense of unity in our school community.We want to learn to set aside differences and be accepting in a real life environment.We wish to acknowledge victims of school violence and attempt to stop what causes these tragedies. Encourage your child to wear white on Monday, April 29th. (In addition, our school will provide each student with a customized white “Day Without Hate” t-shirt). Together, we can make a real difference in empowering our students to create a safe, more united school.
