Dear Jeffco Public Schools Families & Community,

As the holidays approach, it is a good time to recognize all of the hard work that has gone into this school year so far. I know staff and students have expended a tremendous amount of energy and there can often be a sense of weariness in these last few days leading up to break. Because of that, the holidays come at a good time each year as they are an opportunity for everyone to reset and refresh, looking forward to an engaging 2020.

This holiday break, I encourage everyone to take time to reconnect with family and to invest in those relationships. This is especially true with our young people. Although the days seem hectic, they do go by quickly. Find ways to create meaningful and lasting positive memories with the children and young people in your life.

Over the break, you might also take the time to complete EnrollJeffco. Whether you are enrolling a new student in their neighborhood school, confirming re-enrollment in the same school, or applying for choice enrollment - EnrollJeffco is your one-stop shop to share your plans for next school year.

On behalf of all of us with Jeffco Public Schools, we wish you and your family a restful and peaceful holiday season!

The first enrollment window for the 2020-21 school year is now open through January 15, 2020. Jeffco Public Schools offers an online enrollment system - EnrollJeffco - that streamlines finding school information and the enrollment process, and ensures the same timeline for all schools. 

As part of the EnrollJeffco platform, you can use School Finder to identify your neighborhood school and learn about other schools and programs. Search schools by name, neighborhood, programs offered, before-and-after school programs, and many other features our schools offer.

SCHOOL PROGRAMMING CHANGES FOR 2020-21

Several schools in the district are making changes for the upcoming 2020-21 school year, such as Vivian Elementary’s transition to a New Classical Academy, IB programs at Summit Ridge Middle School and Rose Stein Elementary, Doral Academy’s expansion to K-10, and others. Discover what is changing at your local Jeffco school.

NEW TO SCHOOL IN 2020

If your child is starting school this coming fall, Jeffco Public Schools offers free full-day kindergarten at over 90 elementary schools and several preschool options for three- and four-year-olds at 55 schools throughout the district.

Preschool programming includes core instruction, services for English language learners, social-emotional needs, and special education. Other options include programming that aligns with International Baccalaureate, Expeditionary Learning, and dual language instruction.

Information, timelines, and required documentation for kindergarten enrollment can be found on our website.

The 2018 voter-approved Jeffco Public Schools bond was passed a little over a year ago and since then, the district has been busy at work. A big year for Jeffco, almost $90 million has been invested in construction, design, and school improvements.
