After our field trip to Miller Farms, we will hold our first SOAR Awards Assembly of the 2025–26 school year on Friday, October 31st at 2:45 PM.

Families of students receiving awards will be notified by October 24th.

As always, all members of our community are warmly invited to join us in celebrating our students' achievements.

Mrs. Wellensiek joined our JACCC staff this year as our dedicated Intervention Teacher. She works closely with students to provide targeted academic support and help them reach their full potential. She partners with teachers and families to ensure every learner gets what they need to succeed.

NEW Volunteer Needs

The best news is our enrollment in Super Monday classes has grown quite a bit in the last two weeks creating a need for an extra set of hands in Art to help our creative learners.

Of course we are still wanting to add to our lunch time and parking lot volunteers

• Lunch supervision is about an hour a day from 11:30-12:30 

• Crossing guard is about 20-30 minutes a day from 3:15-3:45.

Crossing Guard Info

Don't forget to stop by the book fair this week. Wednesday the 22nd is the last day.

REPEATED

As we enter our snowy months JACCC’s procedure for snow days and late starts is as follows. If all Jeffco schools are closed JACCC is also closed. If Jeffco Mountain Schools are closed JACCC is also closed. If all Jeffco Schools or just mountain schools call a late start we will run a modified schedule from 10:30am-3:30pm. You should also receive a phone call and email with closure/delay information. It is always a good idea to pay attention to the local news and check social media or the JACCC website if you are ever unsure of whether we have a delayed schedule or a snow day.

We will be hosting our annual Prospective Parent Night on Monday, November 17th at 6:00 PM.

This event is a great opportunity for families to:

The weather is starting to change into fall which means colder mornings and some more rainy days  We always love giving kids the opportunity to play outside on snowy, rainy days even on cold days. They also love to be outside, I had many students beg me to take them outside last week on the rainy Tuesday. Please make sure your child is dressed for Colorado mountain weather each day.  If you are in need of cold weather gear for your child(ren) please call the office, we will keep these requests confidential.

Please remember to send a snack or two with your child each day. While we have a small supply of emergency snacks in the office, many students are requesting them daily, sometimes more than once. We're happy to help occasionally, but we aren't able to provide multiple snacks each day.
