Parents' Prayer

Parents Prayer is a group that prays for the intentions of one classroom from Ave Maria, as well as, for those who are in attendance.  All school parents are invited to join other parents in prayer in St. Katherine Drexel in Dwyer Hall before every ALL SCHOOL Mass (typically on a Friday).  If not a week of an ALL SCHOOL Mass, then the group meets on Wednesdays after morning drop-off.  Members generally pray the rosary (the prayers and rosaries are provided).  For more information contact Lisa Smith at 303-805-4527.  

Handbook Highlights

CELL PHONES are NOT allowed at school without written approval by the Principal.  If a student needs a cell phone after school due to walking home from school, entering a house where no one is home, or attending sports practices or games, a parent must submit a written request.  If permission is given, the student must bring the cell phone to the office upon arrival in the morning to park the cell phone in the off position for the day.  The cell phone may be picked up by the student at dismissal.  Cell phones may not be turned on or used during school hours.  At no time during the day should a cell phone be in a student's locker or in his/her possession.  Cell phones taken away from students will be returned to the parent(s)/guardian(s) on the LAST DAY of the school year.
