Did you know the 3 and 30 law for boosters no long applies in Colorado! Children must be in a 5-point harness until they are 40lbs. Here is some more information about Colorado's Child Passenger Safety laws:
Georgetown Community School is looking for charitable donations for our Ski and Ride Program. Not all of our families can afford the program's up-front costs. Loveland Ski Area has graciously sponsored one child for every 10 kids who buy a package. As of today, we have 77 kids registered. We are so pleased with this high turnout.
We are asking you, as GCS parents and community members to help us meet the outdoor educational needs of all of our interested students.
Please contact Vice Principal Rachel Wides with your donation. 303-569-3277

Tuesday, January 17th, GCS will have a presentation for the preschool/preK - 6th grade classes directly after assembly in the cafeteria. The presentation will last about 45 minutes, but if the little guys need to leave early, no problem, we will have a mid break.
The presentation is about adaptive skiing. The skier presenting, Marc Romero, will also volunteer to ski with us on a few of our Tuesday ski days! Please visit Adaptation Education for more information.
This presentation is being sponsored by Water Technologies out of Idaho Springs.
I hope everyone had a restful winter break and enjoyable holiday season with friends and family.
We have great news. GCS has a new Principal. Dr. Karla Haas Moskowitz
has joined our community. She brings with her a depth of educational,
and administrative experience, with fun and fresh ideas. Here is a link
to Dr. Haas Moskowitz's bio.

Georgetown Community School named John Irwin School of Excellence
Congratulations
to all the teachers, staff, board, parents, special education staff,
and especially students who worked hard to achieve this honor. This
means we are in about the top 8% of schools in Colorado. Please visit the Colorado Department of Education's award site to see our name listed.
"The
John Irwin awards are given to schools that demonstrate excellent
academic achievement. On the school performance framework that is used
by the state to evaluate schools, these schools “exceed” expectations on
the academic achievement indicator and “meet or exceed” expectations on
the indicator related to academic growth gaps. (For more information
on the School Performance Framework, please see SchoolView.org.)" source
