Family Events & Community

At Preschool we view the family as the child's first teacher. We believe that ALL family members are a vital part of the success of children's education.  If you are an enrolled family, you will be able to participate in trainings, family events and workshops. Families will receive monthly resources focusing on monthly learning targets via parent square and from teachers. 

Advisory & Policy Committee

Families have the opportunity to be on the Advisory board use our family services liasons as well as our multidisciplinary special services team. Councils and teams work together to discuss a range of issues and provides resources and opportunities that promote successful families.

What is SACPIE?

SACPIE was established in 2009 and is the State Advisory Council for Parent Involvement in Education. The Colorado General Assembly found that it was in:

"...the best interests of the state to create a state advisory council for parent involvement in education that will review best practices and recommend to policy makers and educators strategies to increase parent involvement in public education, thereby helping improve the quality of public education and raise the level of students’ academic achievement throughout the state." (C.R.S. § 22-7-301(2), 2012)

Family, School, and Community Partnership Definition: Families, early childhood programs, schools, and communities actively partnering to develop, implement, and evaluate effective and equitable practices to improve educational outcomes for children and youth.
