School Closure Information

As colder temperatures and winter approaches, we ask parents to take a minute to once again review New Vision's school closure policy and procedure.

The two (2) entities who have the authority to initiate school closure for New Vision Charter School (NVCS) are the Thompson School District (TSD) office and the NVCS Administration.

School Closure by TSD

In the event that the TSD initiates school closure for all schools in the district, New Vision will also be closed.

Notice of an emergency school closing (whether prior to school starting time or during school hours) is communicated by TSD officials to radio stations, to Denver television stations and posted on the Thompson School District website (www.thompsonschools.org) Channel 14 and the School Closure Line 

(970) 613-6788

School Closure by New Vision Charter School

The NVCS Administration has the authority to close New Vision Charter School (even if TSD remains open) if closure is deemed necessary regarding the safety and welfare of the students. 

Parents will be notified via text, email, and social media if school closure is initiated for New Vision.

Birthdays

• We know how special birthdays are to you and your child.  Optional celebrations consist of a book donated to our classroom.  

• Our school is a Healthy Initiative school. We do not do food as rewards or for birthdays.  Our classroom can not accept food treats. 

• Please do not send invitations to the school to be passed out unless one is given to every child.  This will prevent any hurt feelings nor can we give out personal information about students. 

Attendance, Drop-off, & Pick-up

In the event of an absence, please call the attendance line at 970-593-6827. You may also email your teacher, but it is imperative to call the attendance line. 

Tardiness-Students must check in at the office and bring a slip to class.  When your child is late, he/she misses out on a great deal of learning that occurs with the daily meeting.  

PLEASE do your best to be on time each day. 

• Remember that school begins promptly at 7:50.  Instruction begins immediately when we get into the building. It is extremely important that your child arrive on time so they don’t miss out on their education.  For safety reasons, please adhere to the following pick up and drop off procedures.  

Pick Up/Drop Off Procedures

• Drop Off-Kindergarten students will be entering the building through the 5-8 entrance and heading to the football field to line up. Breakfast is served in the cafe beginning at 7:30. Students will line up by class when the bell rings at 7:50. Teachers will pick up their class and head in through the west side of the building. 

• Please remember that parents must check in at the K-4 front office if they need to speak with the teacher or have other business in the school.  

• The will be closed & locked at 7:50.  Students arriving after 7:50 must enter through the front entrance and get a pass to class.  Thank you for understanding our need to maintain a safe and secure school environment.

• Inclement Weather Conditions- Students go to the hallway outside of their classroom. The main doors will be open, however we ask that you pull forward as far as you can for drop off so that all families can unload students. 

• Pick Up- School ends at 3:10pm. Driveline is in place for the safety of all of our students and to keep the parking lot moving in a timely manner. Please refer to the information provided by the front office regarding the driveline procedures. 

• Please inform the teacher & front office ahead of time of any and all transportation changes.  Your child will not be released to anyone other than who you have designated to do so with the front office.  Your child's safety is of utmost importance to us.
