Welcome Back, Wolf Pack!

Dos Rios Families,


Can you believe it’s been a whole month of school already? Time sure flies when you’re having fun. It has been great seeing all of our students back at Dos Rios. Staff is enjoying getting to know all of our learners. Learning is underway in our classrooms, routines are being established and relationships are being built! We are excited for the 24-45 year!


We’ve got a few quick reminders:


Thursday Folders: Every Thursday, your child will come home with their Thursday Folder. This little gem is packed with important updates from their teacher and the school, so be sure to check it out each week to stay in the loop.


Stay Connected: Make sure we have your current email and text number, as we love to keep you informed with all the latest news and updates electronically.


Thanks for your support, and here’s to another fantastic month ahead!

Warmly,

Mrs. Cain & Mrs. Currey

Please ensure your student is not on campus before 8:30am each day. We DO NOT have supervision before 8:30am.

Student Absences

If your student will be absent, please notify the main office by 9:00am each day. This ensures student safety and helps us accurately maintain attendance records. 970-254-7910

Family Center

Reach out to our Dos Rios Family Center today for essential support-clothing, coats, food, housing, healthcare and more. Together, we fuel learning by fulfilling needs. Call Ashley Elliott at 254-7910.

A Few Reminders

  • Breakfast and lunch are free for our students again this year! Please fill out the “More than a Meal” application to help with funding in our district and school. Look for the QR code poster on the front of the building for the application or go to www.myschoolapps.com.


  • Please be sure to send your student with a snack if needed. Nutrition Services is not able to provide snacks outside of the free breakfast and lunch options. If you are not able to send your student with a snack, encourage your student to get free breakfast and lunch each day!


  • Please be sure to contact our health office to discuss medications taken at school and other medical needs that will need support during the school day. Our school RN is Robyn Winfrey and our Health Assistant is Lisa Kaphingst.

Extended Before/After Care

If you need before or after school care for your student, please register at www.extendedhoursprogram.com.


Child care is offered Monday through Friday 6:30am to 8:25am and after school until 6:00pm. For additional information reach out to www.extendedhoursprogram.com. Your child won’t start in this program until Extended Hours has confirmed with you a start date.

Parents Right to Know

As a parent of a student at Dos Rios, you have the right to know the professional qualifications of the classroom teacher who instructs your child. This is a requirement for all districts that receive Title I funds. Federal law allows you to request certain information about your student’s classroom teacher. The law also requires the district to give you this information in a timely manner upon request. Listed below is the information about which you have the right to ask for regarding each of your student’s classroom teachers.

· Whether the Colorado Department of Education (CDE) has licensed or endorsed your student’s teacher for the grades and subjects taught.

· Whether CDE has decided that your student’s teacher can teach in a classroom without being licensed or qualified under state regulations because of special circumstances.

· The teacher’s college major; whether the teacher has any advanced degrees, and if so, the subject of the degrees.

· Whether any teachers' aides or similar para-educators provide services to your child and, if they do, their qualifications.

Please call Mrs. Cain at 254-7910 if you would like any of this information.
