What is the READ Act?
What is the READ Act?
The Colorado READ Act passed in 2012 by the Colorado legislature with the purpose of ensuring every student in Colorado can read at grade level by the time they exit third grade. The legislation was born out of convincing research by a variety of sources, including by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, that shows students who cannot read by the end of the third grade are four times more likely to drop out of high school.

Depression Awareness and Suicide Prevention Training
Depression Awareness and Suicide Prevention Training
In order to create a learning environment that is equitable, supportive and welcoming, we will incorporate Depression Awareness and Suicide Prevention training for our students during the the month of November. The Signs of Suicide Program will be provided virtually to all 9th and 10th grade students during their elective class period. The program was developed by the highly regarded non-profit organization and has been used by thousands of schools nationwide since 2000. It has been proven successful at increasing help-seeking by students concerned about themselves or a friend.
All 9th-12th grade students will receive Safe2Tell Colorado Programming.. Safe2Tell is a Colorado model prevention strategy operating under the Colorado Attorney General’s Office, Department of Law. Safe2Tell Colorado is required to be part of school safety planning by the Colorado Department of Education. Programming focuses on educating students on the importance of reporting concerns and how to anonymously report to Safe2Tell Colorado.
Please review the passive permission forms below. If you choose to request your child to not participate in Signs of Suicide and /or Safe2Tell programing and therefore OPT OUT, please notify the school social worker, Nancy Vargas, via email at nancy.vargas@scienceandtech.org
