Perceptions of Public Safety Jobs and Career Opportunities

Jeffco Public Schools is seeking to understand student & family interest in public safety jobs that could be explored through a high school career pathway program. These survey results will help the school district to develop a program that meets student needs & prepares them for a variety of well-paying jobs in public safety. The survey closes on Tuesday, March 5.

Attendance Office

Report an Absence Form

You may fill out a form to report either a one day absence or consecutive absences. Form is also available on our homepage.

All absences must be reported and/or excused within 24 hours of the absence. If you do not have access to a computer, call the attendance line at 303.982.4260. Speaking clearly, leave the following information:

  • Date of absence

  • Students name/spelling the name

  • Your name and relationship to student

  • District approved reason for absence (these are listed below)


If you excuse a student from a single period, it is expected that the student is off campus and the responsibility of parents/guardians. A student may not be excused from a class to be in other parts of the building.


The following shall be considered excused absences:


  1. A student who is temporarily ill or injured or whose absence is approved by the school administration on a prearranged basis. Prearranged absences shall be approved for appointments or circumstances of a serious nature only, which cannot be taken care of outside of school hours.

  2. A student who is absent for an extended period due to physical, mental, or emotional disability.

  3. A student attending a funeral, legal obligations, medical procedures or extenuating circumstances determined by the principal.

  4. A student attending a school sponsored activity or receiving Jeffco educational services.

  5. A student who is suspended or expelled.

  6. A student in out-of-home placement (as that term is defined by C.R.S. 22-32-138 (1)(h)), absent due to court appearances and participation in court-ordered activities so long as the student´s assigned social worker verifies the student's absence was for a court appearance or court-ordered activity.


The district may require suitable proof regarding the above exceptions, including written statements from medical sources.

New Early Release Request Procedure

To simplify early release procedures, please fill out the early release form. This form is also available on our homepage. Parent/Guardian's email will be verified. If you fill out the form, you do not need to call the attendance line. Please report the early release by 9 AM so we have time to get a pass to your student. If we have no advanced notice, you may have to come into the front office to have your student released. If you do not have access to a computer, call the attendance line at 303.982.4260. Press 2. Speaking clearly, leave the following information:

  • Date and time of early release

  • Student name

  • Your name and relationship to student

  • Reason for early release


It is helpful if a student can leave between classes or at lunch so as to not disrupt the learning environment. Bell Schedule

Parking at GHS

zoom_out_map

All those with a valid GHS parking permit and parking at GHS must park in the appropriate location shown in the map below.

We have had numerous students parking in the bus loop, fire lane, staff lot, grass by the baseball field, etc. Those cars as well as those without a valid GHS parking permit have been and will continue to be ticketed, booted and towed. Parking tickets are $20, boot removal is $100, and towing will cost the vehicle owner over $200. Please make sure your student is following the parking guidelines so they do not lose parking privileges at GHS.


Thanks for your cooperation.
