BIRCH Friday News!
September 20th
Congratulations Birch Students!
We are excited to share some news that highlights the hard work of our students and staff. In Colorado, all public school are rated by the Colorado Department of Education (CDE) with a School Performance Framework (SPF) score. Our average points earned on the SPF rose from 65.4 in 2023 to an impressive 78.3 in 2024. This 12.9-point increase reflects the strides we have taken together to enhance learning and academic achievement. This score gives us a "performance" rating by CDE, which is the highest rating they give out.
While we celebrate this incredible achievement, we know that our work is not done. We will continue to build on this momentum, striving for even greater success in the years to come. Our focus remains on providing every student with the opportunities and support they need to reach their full potential. Please take a moment to celebrate this milestone with your kiddos! Yay Birch!
Enjoy the first Fall Weekend~!
