Coyote Creek News 24-25
News for the Week of December 19th- January 10th
If your student will be absent or will be late to school, please call the CCE Attendance Line at (303) 387-6177 or click on 24-25 Absence Form.
CCE’s Attendance Team has started to send out courtesy emails to families whose student(s) have missed 10% of their school days since the beginning of the school year. The 10% is calculated using the total number of minutes missed, including full or partial days, whether excused or unexcused absences and/or tardies. Please note, that the district is requiring each school to monitor absenteeism and support families to address factors that may impact attendance. Our goal is to be proactive in order to keep families informed of their student(s) attendance and to collaborate with families about attendance needs.
25 - 26 Kindergarten Registration opened December 2nd. Here is the LINK to start the registration process.
