Sagebrush Elementary

Dear Sagebrush Families,

Even though all students in Colorado receive free lunch, we are asking families to fill out the free and reduced lunch application because it helps us maintain our Title I status. Title I is a Federal program that provides funding based on the number of students eligible for free and reduced-price lunch, and these funds support additional educational resources, programs, and services for students who need them most. By completing the form, even if you don't think you qualify, you ensure that our school continues to receive critical funding to support all students. Your participation makes a big difference in maintaining these important resources!

The application can be found at https://www.myschoolapps.com/ .

Thank you,

Ch​ris Powell

Principal

IMPORTANT: Qualified applicants receive additional perks once you have qualified for the program. If qualified you can receive: discounts, free and reduced services and additional qualification for other programs (such as your fees paid through Every Kid Sports).

Due to lack of interest, the Talent Show has been cancelled.

Thank you.

Please mark your calendars and plan to attend our Voices of Color Parent Meeting.

Voices of Color at Sagebrush

Voices of Color engages community members in meaningful and effective partnerships that lead to positive outcomes for all students, but more specifically, students of color.

Please join us at Sagebrush for this opportunity in December!

When: Thursday, December 5, 2024 from 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

Where: Sagebrush Elementary

Please note, we will be providing pizza and child care for this event as well as interpreter services for our Spanish speaking families.

As the holidays approach, we know many families have exciting plans, but we want to remind you of the importance of maintaining regular school attendance during this time. The weeks before the break are often filled with critical lessons, assessments, and preparations for the new term. Missing school can create gaps in learning that are difficult to catch up on. Make-up work does not fully help students recover missed instruction, and one student’s absence impacts classmates’ progress due to the collaborative nature of learning.

Every school day counts in helping your child grow academically, socially, and emotionally. We encourage you to plan travel and events around the school calendar whenever possible. If you know your child will be absent, please let us know in advance so we can support their continued learning.

Thanksgiving break: Nov. 27- Dec. 1

Winter break: Dec. 20- Jan. 6

Thank you for helping us meet our attendance goals. Wishing you a joyful and safe holiday season!

The holidays are around the corner! Between cold weather and holiday gatherings, illnesses are more likely to spread. Please remember to stay up-to-date with your flu shot and COVID booster shot this holiday season. Learn more information about CCSD vaccine clinics.

Did you know that we have a lot of resources for students available after school?

These resources are also available over the summer!
