2-Hour Delay Schedule
After careful thought and consideration regarding the impact on schools, families, and district operations, we have decided to implement a 2-Hour Delay Schedule when the weather situation indicates it is necessary. We will publicly announce a 2-hour delay and notify families by 5:30 a.m. Click here for more information.
Bond Program Updates
Exciting building improvements are coming to schools across the district, thanks to the voter-approved 2018 bond measure! Many projects are in the design phase and will kick-off over the summer. We look forward to sharing our progress and encourage you to visit the bond program website for specific information on projects planned at your school.
New District App
Hello Jeffco Families – Below is some information on a great new way to share flyers & stay informed, plus reminders on the community survey and budget meetings.
Peachjar
On April 2, Jeffco Public Schools will begin using Peachjar, a new digital flyer communication tool. To view school-approved digital flyers, simply click the peach icon, located near social media icons on the district website as well as all school website homepages.
This “green” initiative will save our schools paper and reduce copy costs. Plus, posting school flyers in this “electronic backpack” removes some administrative tasks from teachers, office staff, and volunteers.
No action is required on your part. You will receive a welcome email from our service provider (Peachjar) that includes a username and password. This is provided to give you the opportunity to manage your account and flyer delivery preferences. You do not need to login to receive or view school digital flyers.
To ensure smooth delivery of this communication, we suggest you add school@peachjar.com to your email contacts. When you receive your first eflyer, be sure to click “always display images.”
This system is used exclusively for distribution of school-approved flyers. Your email address will not be shared or used for any other purpose. Of course, like all our emails, you may opt out at any time. Thank you for supporting our efforts to ensure parents are well informed about school programs, activities, and events.
Budget Meetings April 1 & 2
Jeffco Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Jason Glass and Chief Financial Officer Kathleen Askelson will provide an overview of the budget process, review the proposed 2019-20 budget, and answer any questions. Parents, students, staff, and community members are welcome.
