First Day of Preschool
Principal Notes
Hello Alpine Families,
Dear Parents and Guardians,
We are so excited to welcome our students back to school for another fantastic year of learning and growth! As we begin this new year, it’s important to set the tone for a positive and productive school year. One key factor is regular attendance.
Your child’s presence in class is essential for their academic success and overall development. By attending school consistently, they have the opportunity to fully engage in lessons, participate in activities, and build strong relationships with their peers and teachers.
Our goal is to keep absences to a minimum. Please make every effort to ensure your child is in school daily. If your child is unable to attend school, please notify the school office by calling (720) 652-8140 or emailing our attendance clerk, Melissa Meehan, at [email protected].
Chronic absenteeism can negatively impact your child’s learning. According to federal guidelines, students who miss 17.5 days or more per year are considered chronically absent. If your child is experiencing excessive absences, we may reach out to discuss creating an attendance plan. Together, we can work to identify any underlying issues and implement positive incentives to support your child’s attendance. Please contact Jennifer Dalby or Becky Ramsay if your family needs any support with regular attendance.
Let’s make this a year of consistent attendance and academic success!
Gratefully,
Amber Marsolek EdD – Principal
Jennifer Dalby EdD – Dean of Students
