Director’s Note from the Middle School: 

 

Dear College View Middle School Families,

 

Thanks so much for helping us keep our students safe in the morning by bringing students on time between 7:15-7:30. We have seen a big improvement in student safety during arrival. Yesterday, there were about 30-40 students waiting by the front doors around 7:10. Please continue to bring students as close to 7:15 as possible to avoid any issues around safety in the morning. 

 

I am continuing to gather feedback from families around our new school times next year of 8:55-9:25. If you’d like to share feedback, please complete this quick survey.

 

Quick Announcement: The university building next door has experienced some theft in the evening time from the Loretto Heights University building. There will be an armed guard on campus in the evening hours after school to ensure that the building adjacent to our school is safe and there is no more theft or trespassing. If you have any questions about this specifically, please reach out to me. 

 

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

 

Sincerely, 

 

Graham Wynings, School Director 

Announcements

GIRLS ON THE RUN Coming this Spring, we have a new opportunity for ALL GIRLS at CVMS! Girls On The Run is BACK, and this year we are offering the "Heart & Sole" program, which is open to all girls grades 6-8. 

Registration is open NOW! For more information about the program go to https://girlsontherunrockies.org/parents-corner/. (Also available in Spanish)   

What is Girls On The Run? Girls will be inspired to a lifetime of self-respect and a healthy lifestyle through an innovative program that combines running with fun games and activities. This program promotes individual achievement and self-confidence. Girls gain self-esteem and learn healthy lifestyle habits while training for a 5K run/walk race. Open to all 6th, 7th and 8th grade girls.

In this program, your daughter will...

 - Understand that she has a place in her community

 - Develop a strong sense of identity

 - Learn how to give and receive support in a group

 - Gain confidence to stand up for herself and others

 - Improve her self-confidence and body image

 - Complete a 5K run/walk event in the community

 

SELF-DEFENSE WORKSHOPS are coming to the CV Campus in April & May

Learning self-defense is important because you develop an important skill that can benefit you if you are in danger, which can happen when you least expect it. We are bringing in trauma-informed instructors from IMPACT Colorado to provide foundational skills in self-defense. All classes are free to the College View communities through a grant won by Nohemi Torres, a junior at the high school!
Spaces are limited so spots will be filled on a first-come first-served basis. You will be put on a wait list if all spots are filled for the session that you are interested in, and will be contacted if someone cancels their registration in the original list. Look for the registration link next week!
