Thank you to all the families who have purchased the cards and have been using them. In October, we had over $10,000 in reloads - that is AWESOME!

Cards will be available for purchase Thursday, November 17, 2011, from 2:50 p.m. to 3:10 p.m. in the West Campus front lobby. 
$5.00 per card, each card has a $5.00 balance - we earn a 5% rebate for every dollar you load and reload on the cards. You can use your credit card to load funds, and you do use your King Soopers Card at the register, earning your fuel points!

 

HOLIDAY SHOPPING TIP: If you're planning to purchase a lot of gift cards this year, buy them at King Soopers! Load money on your TPCA King Soopers Gift Card, and then use that card to pay for your other gift cards!

Inclement Weather 
IMPORTANT
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 a.m. regarding school closure. Once there is a decision made about opening school, there would not be 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.
SVVSD also provides a recorded message on its Emergency News Line at 303-682-7387.
