Sierra Grande Families:
Your student will have the chance to take the Healthy Kids Colorado Survey on September 2. It’s short, anonymous, and a way to share what life is really like for teens here. The more of those who take it, the better schools and communities can support what students actually need.
Your students voice matters—but if you choose to not participate; please sign the google form attached or the document your student received to opt out. These forms need to be returned by 8/28.

We are so proud to share that FIVE of our amazing educators—the Paine family—were featured in a Colorado Public Radio story highlighting their incredible impact here at Sierra Grande!
Travis (elementary principal), Tiffany (kindergarten), Brooke (high school English), Cody (high school social studies), and Sarah (elementary aide) truly embody what it means to be part of the Sierra Grande family. Their dedication, teamwork, and heart for our students shine every single day.
Having their story shared across Colorado is a celebration not only of them, but of the strength and spirit of our entire community.

Please join us in congratulating and celebrating the Paine family—thank you for making Sierra Grande such a special place to learn and grow!
