Many more students are attending class currently in Adams County School District 14, thanks to the pro-active approach by the staff at the district.
The staff has implemented a three prong approach. The “Community Walk” helped get the word out to the community and local businesses that if they see any D14 students during school hours, they should report it immediately to the school district.
The staff also reviews the weekly attendance records of all the students. The attendance record of all the students are kept in a log on the district's computer system.
In addition to the student's attendance record, a log of the phone calls made to the parents are also kept. The staff works with everyone to get the students in school and to stay in school. The results have been outstanding with positive attendance gains for the last four years.
Also if a student is late for class past the first ten minutes, it will be counted as a absence.
Encourage your students and students that you know that it is cool to go to school and to stay in school.
Students at Landmark academy at reunion celebrate first annual latin culture week
Landmark Academy at Reunion , a tuition-free public charter school, recently hosted their First Annual Latin Culture Week, a week focused on educating students on the various aspects of Latin culture, from music and art to sports and celebrities, through unique activities. During the week-long celebration, students were able to step into the lives of the Aztecs, Incas and Mayans with Latin culture lessons through piñata making, cultural crafts, songs, traditional foods and more. Students made maracas and learned a traditional Mexican Hat Dance; created Aztec suns working with metal tooling; and studied different countries in Mexico , Central America and South America . Aztec dancers from the Colorado Folk Arts Council also visited with students and educated them on the spiritual and traditional aspects of Aztec culture through dance. “We reside in a community with strong Latin and Hispanic roots,” said Matt Carlton, principal of Landmark Academy at Reunion . “Our community culture is important to us at Landmark. By providing unique ways for our students to learn the various backgrounds of our diverse community they are able to understand and appreciate different cultures.” For more information about Landmark Academy at Reunion , please visit www.landmarkacademy.org.
