School Calendar Change
Since last May we have been working with our new math curriculum company on setting up training for our teachers.  The availability of trainers has been limited.  However, they have informed us of availability on Oct 18th.  Since this training involves all our core teachers, the Board has approved adding a professional development day with no students.  We appreciate your understanding and know this training will have a positive impact on our math instruction.  There will be no school for students on October 18th.

Ms Best would like Volleyball students to know that practice will still be occurring the afternoon of the 18th, regardless of this change.
Please join the JeffCo Charter School Consortium for its School Board Candidate Forum in preparation for the Nov. 7th election. This forum will be focused on JeffCo charter school issues. All charter school parents are invited to attend and hear what the school board candidates think about public charter schools. The forum will be held on Wednesday, September 27, 2023, from 6:30 to 8:00 pm at Addenbrooke Classical Academy located at 3940 S. Teller Street, Lakewood, CO 80235.

Please reach out to the office with any questions and we appreciate your help with this.

Family Summary of the September Board Meeting
September's meeting focused on CMAS test score reviews, with an evaluation of the positive impact the Wit and Wisdom curriculum has made on student learning.  The board also reviewed the positive progress of the many committees with an emphasis on the Leadership Team and Student Accountability Committee (SAC) academic and cultural goals for the year.
 
The board had the opportunity to meet with student council President Hudson Steward and Vice President Kai Wallace.  The board thanks the student council and student committees for all of their hard work and is excited about all the wonderful things in store for the school year. 
 
The next regular board meeting is on October 12th, 2023, at 6:30 PM, in The Den community room. Come join us and learn about all that is happening at RMAE.
