Middle School Calendar & Upcoming Deadlines
Attendance:
- Huge Celebration: CVMS Attendance has been over 92% in the last week. We are striving for 94% attendance this year at CVMS, because we cannot engage your students and achieve the growth we need for them if they are not in school. Thank you so much Parents/Guardians for making this possible!! Let’s keep up the good work!
- Reminder: if your student will be absent for the day, please notify the front office at (303)524-6320
October Count:
- We would like to remind families that the Official October Count Day is on Monday, October 3rd . October Count is the official student membership headcount for all Colorado public school districts. When students are enrolled, scheduled and in attendance as of the official count day, the district receives an average of $8,400 in per pupil operating revenue. The revenue that schools receive help with student activities, field trips, equipment, supplies and much more. Please support us in ensuring that your student is present for October Count Day. Reach out to the Front Office with any questions or concerns at 303-524-6320. Thank you!
Picture Day: September 30th

Director’s Note from the Middle School:
College View Middle Families,
As noted above, we are making progress with our student attendance. It is critical that your students are at school every day, because we have a lot of work to do to get your students caught up and ready for success in high school. When students are absent, they miss valuable learning opportunities and fall behind in their work. We appreciate your support and thank you SO much for making sure that your students are at school every day!
In our Tuesday Coffee with the Director, we heard concerns from families about trash on campus. Our campus grounds are a representation of who we are as a community, and we are disappointed with the amount of trash on the grounds. We have spoken to our student athletes about trash on our packtime field, and they are going to help us work to make sure that space is clean. In our WIN STEM lesson last week, we started enlisting the help of students to create a plan around how we can solve this problem. We will update you on that plan, and any actions we will take to keep our campus clean. We must build more school pride, because we think if students have pride in their school--they will choose not to throw trash on the ground and even pick up trash when they see it to demonstrate our core values and school pride. For any students that we see littering, we will have them conduct community service as a natural consequence. Please talk to your students about the importance of keeping our campus clean and encourage them to help us with this push.
Sincerely,
Graham Wynings, School Director
