From the Principal

Welcome to Pikes Peak Prep

We are so excited to begin the 2011 -2012 school year! We are thrilled to have so many familiar faces returning to our school; we also have a number of families that are with us for the first time to whom we would like to extend a warm welcome. Our entire staff looks forward to working with your children and providing them excellent educational opportunities. Pikes Peak Prep has a student-first focus where instruction, curriculum, and programs are designed to insure student growth and success. We individualize instruction to capitalize on student strength’s and interests and backfill any gaps in learning and areas of weakness.

We are very proud to offer our students a safe respectful learning environment in which they can thrive. We believe all children can and want to learn, and it is our responsibility to see this to fulfillment. We model and exemplify values of respect for self, others, time, and property.

Some fun extra-curricular plans for this year include:
Another great talent show in the fall. Our first talent show was so successful we thought we would get the year started with this activity.
More karaoke staff contests.
Additional fun afterschool clubs, music concerts and art projects.

Our parents and guardians are crucial and the number one reason for the success of our students.

At Pikes Peak Prep we strongly encourage parents to:
Volunteer in your child’s class, another classroom, or the front office.
Join and attend PTO meetings and events.
Participate in school programs and events.
Drive on fieldtrips.
Ask your child’s teacher what you can do at home to enrich the learning of the class (bulletin board items, etc.).
Talk to various classes about your career.
Participate in and support fundraising.

It is essential for parents to develop close connections with your child’s teachers and school administration in order to fully support your child in school-work and become your child’s strongest advocate. All of us working together as a team increases your child’s capabilities and potential.

I look forward to working with all parents and students. Thank you so much for entrusting your child(ren) to us and allowing us to serve you.
