Award Spotlight

• Each year, the National Center for Women & Information Technology (NCWIT) recognizes teachers who are excelling in the field of computer science. This year, Cassandra Bryning, our business technology teacher, was one of only three teachers to receive an Honorable Mention for the Colorado Aspiration in Computing Educator Award. Congratulations, Mrs. Bryning! 

Panorama Survey

• A huge thank you to our community for your participation in the recent Parent Survey. This year, our total family response rate was 20.99%, which represented a 40% increase in the number of families who completed the survey compared to last year. This information is invaluable as we continue to determine how to best support our students and partner with our families. 
• Survey results are scheduled to be shared with our community after Spring Break.
