Families that attend will receive a template for developing a social media plan with their youth and tips for navigating discussions around digital wellness. 

Standardized Testing:

  • The State of Colorado requires that our students take standardized tests each year. Please be aware of these test dates and avoid scheduling appointments and other absences at these times. In general, testing takes place in the morning and students are released after testing is completed, but students who are allowed extra testing time may be finished later. 
  • Testing Dates:
    • Tuesday, April 15 - SAT testing for 11th graders. No school for 9th, 10th and 12th graders.
    • Wednesday, April 16 - PSAT testing for 10th graders. No school for 9th, 11th and 12 graders.
    • Thursday, April 17 - PSAT testing for 9th graders and CMAS testing for 11th graders. No school for 10th and 12th graders.
  • Families of Juniors: If you are interested in your student taking the SAT with Essay on the April 15th school testing date, please fill out this form so we can register your student with College Board. 
    • Why might you sign up for the SAT with Essay? The Essay portion of the SAT is a lot like a typical college writing assignment that asks you to analyze a text. It shows colleges that you're able to read, analyze, and write at the college level and allows you to showcase your skills.
