Dear Raptor Families,

It was wonderful to connect with so many of you at Parent Teacher Conferences this week. As a reminder, there is no school Friday, October 11th, and Monday October, 14th.  AAA and Stem Accelerator start back next week.

Next week, on Tuesday, October 15th, we have a home soccer game versus Longs Peak MS. On Wednesday, October 16th, the Boy’s Basketball Team has an away game at Mead Middle School.

As always, please feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns. We appreciate your continued support and involvement in our school community. Please let us know if you need any assistance.

Best wishes,
