STUDENT CENTERED ACCOUNTABILITY PROGRAM
This past year, the Akron School District joined S-CAP (Student Centered Accountability Program). The program is composed of school districts that are working together to identify strengths and weaknesses of their schools, with the ultimate goal of improving each school as a whole. We have been compiling data, conducting surveys, and constructing narratives about our various programs. We will also be hosting teachers and administrators from other S-CAP Colorado schools on January 23rd as part of our site review. Parents should have received a survey link via text. If you have not completed the survey please do so as soon as possible. Thank you for your support of our school!

AKRON SCHOOL COMMUNITY PRIDE
Prior to Christmas break, our high school staff and students participated in their second community pride project this school year. Students read and interacted with children at ABC Preschool and Akron Head Start, delivered meals with the Meals on Wheels program, and put together a soup lunch and bingo for the seniors and elders of our community. It was great to see our students interacting with the young children and elders of our community. We give a special thank you to our Dean of Students, Mr. Shawn Randel who put a great deal of work and effort into organizing this event. It truly was a wonderful day and we want to send out a big thank you to everyone who helped today!
Santa’s traditional visit on the last day of school still exists!!!
