The Littleton Public Schools Board of Education is hosting two community forums regarding the new calendar proposal for the 2007-2008 school year:

Monday, December 11, 2006
6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Twain Elementary School gym
6901 S. Franklin Street Centennial, CO 80122

and

Tuesday, January 16, 2007
6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Euclid Middle School cafeteria
777 W. Euclid Ave. Littleton, CO 80120 

All community members are invited to attend. Those in attendance will have an opportunity to learn more about the calendar proposal, give feedback, and ask questions of LPS Board members and staff members. All feedback received will be a part of the Board’s ongoing conversations about the calendar proposal. The Board is scheduled to take action on a 2007-2008 calendar in early February, 2007.

At its November 8, 2006 Board meeting, the Board received more information about five calendar models on which it had previously narrowed its focus. In addition, the Board heard about a new Late Start Calendar Proposal that incorporates the need for more time for teachers to collaborate with the needs of parents to keep schedules and transportation the same.

The new proposal calls for 120 minutes of student activity time two mornings a month, during which time teachers participate in Professional Learning Communities. Transportation would remain the same on student activity days, and all activities would be optional and free of charge for participating students.

Goddard Middle School Technology Teacher Travis Amonson has been selected as the 2006 Teacher of the Year for Teaching Excellence in Technology Education by the Colorado Technology Education Association.

Araphaoe High School Calumet staff took first place in the 5A Colorado High School Press Association competition.  Calumet staff earned recognition in 10 of 12 separate categories.

The 2006 Calumet was also awarded a National Scholastic Press Association All-American Award and a Gold Medal from Columbia Scholastic Press Association.

Both Arapahoe's yearbook and newspaper won first place in the 2006 Maestro Contest for planning and breadth of coverage on a single topic.

 Also awarded were winners in student newspapers and broadcast. Arapahoe Herald, the student newspaper, received recognition in 9 of 28 categories.  Calumet, Too, the DVD supplement to the yearbook, was recognized in 5 of 10 categories.

Arapahoe High School has been named a winner in the 2006 Broncos Wives School's Food Drive. AHS students and staff collected more donated food items than any other Colorado high school.  The AHS choir, under the direction of Kelly Parmenter, collected 127 of 143 boxes. 

Bronco players, cheerleaders, and Miles, the mascot, participated in a school assembly at Arapahoe December 5 in appreciation of Arapahoe's efforts. 

Congratulations!
