Happening This Week Dec 4-9

December Menu

In 2013 the district adopted Character Counts as a way to reinforce positive behavior, attitude, and growth in the school district.  Since that time we have used the pillars of character to recognize multitudes of students, staff, and community members.  The Multi-cultural committee which represents all stakeholders who work with youth in the community helps guide the process.  We ask staff to incorporate ideas as they see fit within their classroom. 

One of the staff's favorite activities is to dress up in the color of the month recognizing each pillar.  Those days are weekly on Wednesdays and/or one day a month predesignated by each building principal.

Class of 2023 Graduation

Governor Polis has cleared the way for Universal Preschool  (UPK) across the state. The Ignacio School District and IELP will be working in collaboration to serve our pre-kinder students. All children who are four years old (one year away from kindergarten) will qualify for at least 15 hours per week beginning in August of 2023.  Children with at-risk factors will qualify for 30 hours per week.

Please consider signing up for preschool in Ignacio as soon as possible.  It must be done on the State website at[UPK.Colorado.gov](http://upk.colorado.gov/).  Please select the Ignacio Early Learning Program (IELP). It is important to know how many students will be attending in the fall to ensure staffing, classrooms, and resources will meet the needs of our learners.
