Jeffco Schools and the six Jefferson area principals released a letter to parents today seeking input on plans to develop a new framework for our local schools.
Key elements involve a change in facilities explained below:
- For the 2015-16 school year, create a neighborhood school for grades 7-12 with a pre-college/career academy focus on the Jefferson High School campus.
- For 2015-16 school year, establish Stevens Elementary PK-6 School on the current Wheat Ridge 5-8 campus.
You can read the letter here. (Spanish version)
School leaders will be soliciting input from parents and the community over the next few months.
There are many details to be worked out with input from parents, staff and the community, but at Edgewater Collective, we are excited that the district is committing extra resources to help our local students succeed. It is important to note that the Jefferson area principals were the key leaders in developing this framework.
We are excited to work with local school leaders and Jeffco Schools to align our efforts with this Jefferson Plan.
We all share the common vision of helping each student succeed.
