  • Special Olympics Brings Social and Physical Support for Students in Extended School Year Program

    Representatives from the southeast Colorado Special Olympics regional office taught bocce ball to students enrolled in District 49's extended school year program June 7 at Sand Creek High School. The extended year program serves qualifying students with special needs for four weeks at the beginning of the traditional summer break. The program focuses on retaining information and skills that students learn during the traditional school year. The extra learning helps increase retention and ensures a strong start to the school year. "When we are in the classroom we are working hard on reading and math," said Bridgette Martin, ESY coordinator for secondary students. "A lot of the students have social goals too and this is a practical and fun way to work on those goals."

  • Parents and Guardians of Graduates of 2021 and Beyond,

    Please join us on September 26, 2017 at 6:00 p.m. in the Falcon High School Auditorium to find out more about graduation requirements for the classes of 2021 and beyond. We will discuss changes at the state and district levels and how those changes will impact current 9th graders and the middle school classes that will follow them. This will be an informational night where we will discuss ways that we can work together to help every student navigate high school and their chosen path successfully.

     

    Students are welcome and encourage to attend as well to help them understand the new level of accountability for students receiving diplomas in D49. We will discuss what they can do to ensure their success as they begin or plan for their high school career. We look forward to seeing you there.
