"Where it's always a good day to be a Bison!"
News from Mrs. Marlatt!
Dear parents and guardians,
Let's talk about attendance!
One of the most important things your child can do in order to succeed in school is attending school everyday! By consistently attending school, your child is engaged, feels a part of a community and is "in the know" of what is happening inside his/her classroom. Have you ever arrived late to a movie, or had to miss work for some reason? When this happened to me, I noticed it takes a while for me to catch up to what is going on. This happens to your student when he/she is tardy or absent. Sometimes being tardy or absent is unavoidable. Being to school on time and avoiding absences should be the norm!
How can you as parents and guardians partner with us in order to create good attendance habits in your child? The following are just a few ideas to help make sure your child is in school on time everyday.
- Set your alarm a few minutes early if arriving to school on time is an issue. We know our parking lot is small and can add to being tardy of you don't plan our ahead of time.
- Help your child pick out their clothes for the next day and have everything set out the night before.
- Is breakfast an issue? Bring them to school at 7:30am and let them eat breakfast with us!
- Get involved in your school PTO so you know what is happening at school.
- Be aware of school events and activities.
- Access the school mental health team in case your child is showing anxiety about coming to school.
- Partner with your child's teacher! Maintain good communication, attend parent-teacher conferences and ask questions when you need clarity.
These are just a few ways you can partner with us in making sure your child is on time and present everyday. Consistently showing up will pay off towards your child's success in school and in life!
Thank you for sharing your children with us!

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!
