"Where it's always a good day to be a Bison!"
News from Mrs. Marlatt!
Dear parents and guardians,
Welcome back to the last quarter of the school year! We look forward to finishing the year S.T.R.O.N.G!
We start with CMAS testing for all 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students (see detailed schedule below). This starts today and ends next week, when 5th graders only will be taking the science test. Please help us make our testing time successful by making sure your child's Chromebook is charged and ready to go every morning!
PLease take a few minutes to read all of the information below. We had a lot here, and answers to questions you might have.
I will close with a word of gratitude. First, thank you for taking the Parent Climate Survey and helping our school and district with important feedback. Your voice matters! Secondly, our tardies and absences have decreased a lot! Thank you for working on this. The best way to help your child succeed in school is to make sure he/she is here everyday from 7:50am to 3:30pm.
Thank you for sharing your children with us!

What Will Teachers Learn This Week?
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!
