What is the Principal Reading?




For kids (and adults this year!) Join us in the "One Book One Red Rocks" summer challenge as we read Willodeen, from the author of The One and Only Ivan  I also recommend reading Newbery Medal and Honor Books, you'll be glad you did! 

For Adults: Our professional culture continues to be anchored to many of the principles found in Dare to Lead by Brene Brown and other leadership texts. 

SUMMER MESSAGE FROM MR. I:

Red Rocks Families:

We started the year with footsteps–asking our staff and community to make progress together, "Step by Step" as a part of our district focus on being "Better Together." We've all come so far, and we celebrate the partnership of families and staff bringing back such cherished traditions as the Raccoon Run and PTA Carnival.

Our staff are hard at work to bring the best for 22-23. Look to hear more about the Jeffco vision in "Jeffco Thrives 2025" as our school board revisits instructional excellence. Family input is welcome and the next school board meeting is June 2.

Last month we celebrated staff who are transitioning and announced new arrivals. This month we are pleased to announce Ellie Capistrant who will join our Kindergarten team. Ms. Capistrant developed her teaching skills with Mr. Brown and recently taught kindergarten at Normandy Elementary. Ms. Capistrant joins Mrs. St. Louis on the kindergarten team.

In closing, we are excited about the academic engagement that increased throughout the year. We started new traditions like "morning musicians," "artist of the month," and we welcomed back high school seniors who went to Red Rocks with our "Senior Breakfast." Despite many challenges, it has been a great year.  Enjoy your summer, and thank you for investing with us in our students. Go Raccoons! –Mr. I
