February 10, 2025
Dear Cougar Community,
Thank you with all of your support in keeping kids healthy this week. As stated in a separate community letter, we have an outbreak of Influenza A and are stressing the needs to watch symptoms and keep kids home if they are too sick for school. At school, we are also increasing our disinfecting, hand washing more frequently, supplying hand sanitizer and reminding of coughing/sneezing into our elbow!
Reminder that this Thursday, February 13th is a one day opportunity for a conference. Elementary teachers reached out with invites to specific families they need to connect with while middle school (5th-8th grade) is having open house style for you to stop by and connect.
Also, this next Friday, February 14th is a Teacher Work Day and there is no school for students. Any classes exchanging Valentines will be doing so on Thursday.
Have a GREAT weekend!
Go COUGARS!
Tonya Bruce, Principal
Jeffco Listens Survey

Middle School Conferences
**ONLY MIDDLE SCHOOL - Elementary Teachers Communicated Directly with Families**
Our spring conferences are limited to one day and we are primarily focused on students that currently need additional academic support. They will be held in the gym February 13th from 3-7 pm.
These conferences are designed to:
- Discuss your child's current academic progress.
- Explore strategies to improve their learning.
- Develop a plan for success.
While this conference is primarily focused on students currently needing academic support, we also encourage parents/guardians of students experiencing any academic or social-emotional challenges to attend.
We believe that open communication between home and school is essential for student success. We look forward to partnering with you to support your child's learning journey.
