SCHOOL CLOSINGS
TPCA follows the St. Vrain Valley School District's decision about unscheduled school closings.
Although SVVSD has scheduled late start days every first Wednesday of the month,
TPCA does not observe late start days.
SVVSD officials have stated that a decision will be made by 5:00 AM regarding school closure.
Once there is a decision made about opening school, there would not be a early release.
Please check the District's website at www.stvrain.k12.co.us for immediate updates and information on closures.
In addition, you may check local television and radio stations who broadcast school closure information. | |
The District will also provide a recorded message on its Emergency News Line at
303-682-7387. | |
| | | |
The Middle School Student Leaderhip Council
will be conducting a schoolwide community service project, called Pennies for Patients.
This program collects spare change which directly finances cancer treatments for children and youth in the Rocky Mountain region and provides money for leukemia research. Your student will be receiving a collection box to bring home soon!
We are looking forward to your support!
Would you like to help with this effort?
Please contact Lori West at

The 6th Annual PTO No Bake Sale Fundraiser We're heading into the LAST WEEK of our Annual No Bake Sale Fundraiser. Currently, we aren't half way to our $25,000 Goal! The funds we raise directly support the STUDENTS, STAFF, TEACHERS and THE CAMPUS.
We will graciously accept donations throughout the year. We will end the No Bake Sale Drive on November 10, so that we can order/deliver the participation prizes, as well as the prize drawings.
Please print out the No Bake Sale Donation Form, and get those "Dough-Nations" brought in. You can also request donations from your friends and family. Your donation is tax deductible. Additional Paper Donation Forms and the Program Overview are available on the PTO Table in the Front Lobby.
Thank You!
