A Note from Ms. Marlatt
Dear Bison Families,
As this school year comes to a close, please know how grateful I am for each and every one of you. You have volunteered, donated, showed up and contributed to our success this year. Thank you! Your partnership is what makes our school great.
Soon it will be time to enjoy the summer. If you are worried about the summer slide for your student, the best thing you can do is make sure your student is reading. Take your student to the library. Sign up for one of the many summer challenges available (Dion's has one, and so does Barnes and Noble, and I am sure there are many more). Make time for reading this summer, and your child will benefit a lot.
We all enjoyed our last Bison Strong parade of the year - The All Star Parade. I am thankful to many staff who contributed the footage to put the video together (below). I hope you enjoy it.
I look forward to some time off, and then starting our year all over again. I look forward to our partnership once again, and all the fun and learning the new school year will bring.
Enjoy your summer, and for the last time this year... Thank you for sharing your children with us!

24-25 School Supply Lists
We’re excited to offer an easy back-to-school shopping experience this summer! Soon you’ll be able to order a school supply kit with everything your child needs online. These affordable kits will be delivered right to school and available for pick up during Back-to-School night.
You can still purchase supplies on your own, if you prefer. Or you can use this this vendor and simplify things for you and your family.
ALL SUPPLY LIST LINKS WILL BE AVAILABLE ON OUR WEBSITE ON FRIDAY, 5/24/24 BY THE END OF THE DAY.
It’s Almost Report Card Time Again
The end of the school year is close! Grades will be available on May 24th at noon. You must check grades through our parent portal. Grades are shared digitally.
As a reminder, earlier this year, 27J schools began transitioning to a new skills report format that tells you exactly what skills are being taught and how well your child is performing them.
Don’t remember exactly how the format changed? Get caught up before new reports come home: bit.ly/3tNwaXD
Chromebooks and Chargers
In May, all Chromebooks will be turned in to their classroom teachers for the summer. All students are responsible for turning in their Chromebook and a charger at the end of the year. If your student doesn't have the original DELL charger issued when he/she received their Chromebook, your student will get a charge on their account for $30. Our district does not accept other chargers (purchased on Amazon, for example) because they void the warranty on the Chromebook. This mostly applies to 4th and 5th grade students who take their Chromebook home every night.
Traffic Reminders
If you are a returning family to Second Creek, you know our parking lot is small and needs special care during morning drop off and afternoon pick up. Thank you for contributing to the overall safety of our staff and students!
If you are a new family to Second Creek, please read the information below carefully. Staff and sometimes Commerce City police are out during morning drop off and afternoon dismissal to make sure everyone is safe.
Parents, it is very important that we do not park on the bus lane before or after school. Blocking the bus causes delays that go beyond our school.
Here are a few reminders about our drop off and pick up procedures. You know that Commerce City police pops in once in a while and issue tickets to vehicles that are not following our safety rules... so please make sure you are doing what you can do keep our students and staff safe!
- No parked cars in the "no parking zone" - which is by the sidewalk from the beginning of the parking lot all the way to the front doors. This is a fire lane and also a bus lane. There is NO PARKING anytime. Only drop off or pick up. We have noticed many cars parked waiting for the school to open in the morning, blocking the bus and causing lines of cars that go all the way outside the parking lot. Please drop off your student and go - no parking.
- Same rules apply for pick up after school.
- Students can be dropped off at 7:30am. We do not have supervision for students who are dropped off before these times.
- If you drop your student off late, you have to come in and sign your student in at the front office.
- Students must be picked up at 3:30pm every day. We do not have staff to supervise students after school.
- Let us know if you need information about our before and after-school program.
- Please only use the handicap parking if you have a handicap license.
- The Staff of the Month parking is for staff only at all times.
We appreciate your cooperation!
