"Where it's always a good day to be a Bison!"
News from Mrs. Marlatt!
Dear parents and guardians,
You might have heard of our big birthday celebration on Friday. It was Buffy's birthday and we celebrated with style! You would have been amazed at how wonderful our staff and students behaved. It is no easy feat to move 905 students from their classroom, to the playground and back. Our Bison family did a wonderful job and the festivities took place without issues. We had a photographer on the roof and she was able to capture the moment. A huge thank you goes to our school counselor Ms. Olson for dreaming the event, and our PBIS team for making sure the event ran smoothly. Buffy visited classrooms afterwards and shared cupcakes with all kids.
We are closer and closer to the end of the school year. I ask that you stay strong on attendance and tardiness. It is important that you student (s) is at school everyday and on time! Continue to have high expectations for your child's learning.
Thank you for sharing your children with us!

If you would like to donate a few extra dollars to help those students who might not be able to bring the full amount, please feel free. If you have not done so yet, please send the donations to your classroom teacher as soon as possible.

What Will Teachers Learn This Week?
We try to show our appreciation for our hard-working teachers in many ways. Last Thursday we had an egg hunt all throughout the school. Staff was running through the hallways and looking for their eggs. We laughed and enjoyed each other's company. 4th Grade team was victorious and earned lunch for the teachers in their team! I have added a few of the event pictures below.
Our Leadership Team!
Happy Teachers!
Victorious 4th Grade Team!
Traffic Reminders
Parents, it is very important that we do not park on the bus lane before or after school. Blocking the bus causes delays that go beyond our school.
Here are a few reminders about our drop off and pick up procedures. You know that Commerce City police pops in once in a while and issue tickets to vehicles that are not following our safety rules... so please make sure you are doing what you can do keep our students and staff safe!
- No parked cars in the "no parking zone" - which is by the sidewalk from the beginning of the parking lot all the way to the front doors. This is a fire lane and also a bus lane. There is NO PARKING anytime. Only drop off or pick up. We have noticed many cars parked waiting for the school to open in the morning, blocking the bus and causing lines of cars that go all the way outside the parking lot. Please drop off your student and go - no parking.
- Same rules apply for pick up after school.
- Students can be dropped off at 7:30am for breakfast eaters and 7:35am for non breakfast eaters. We do not have supervision for students who are dropped off before these times.
- Students must be picked up at 3:30pm every day. We do not have staff to supervise students after school.
- Let us know if you need information about our before and after-school program.
- Please only use the handicap parking if you have a handicap license.
- The Staff of the Month parking is for staff only at all times.
We appreciate your cooperation!
