Congrats to our football team for making it to the second round of playoffs! They will be playing Pueblo West tomorrow in Pueblo. Good luck, Demons!

Please join us for the November Parent Academy on Thursday, November 21 at 6 p.m. in the Golden High School Library. We will have experts discussing Safe2Tell and Restorative Justice and how these are applied in our seven Golden Schools. In addition, we will discuss alcohol abuse, recovery, and overall culture. Parents of students at all of our Golden area schools are welcome! Don't miss this opportunity to learn more about what's going on at our schools. Parent Academy is brought to you by the Golden Schools Foundation in partnership with the GHS School Resource Officer, Officer Hyde. Refreshments will be provided. Please fill out this form to RSVP.

Get ready to enroll. Completing enrollment is important, not just for planning the upcoming school year, but also to help our district prepare for staffing, budget, student resources and much more. Use the School Finder tool to learn more about our school, programs offered, data and more. We hope to see you next year! www.jps.click/schoolfinder

Warren Tech will be hosting Open Houses at all three of their campuses on Wednesday, December 4th from 5 - 8 p.m. Visit their website for more information.

Discuss with your students what they've learned about in their Homeroom on Wednesdays. Here are recent lessons by grade level:

9th Grade: Celebrating Cultural Differences. Ask about what your teen learned during the 'Culture Quiz Game' or during this week's 'Connections Bingo' activity to help students get to know their classmates.

10th Grade: 3-part series on Empathy. Ask about the difference between Sympathy and Empathy, or about the pair-up activity called 'Walking in Someone Else's Shoes'.

11th Grade: Managing Intense Emotions. Ask about strategies your teen has learned about what to do when their emotions are high (there was a lesson and a Youtube video on the topic).

12th Grade: Alcohol from a Harm Reduction Perspective. Ask your teen what binge drinking is and also what they would do if they were drinking and they needed to get home safely.
