Arrivals/Dismissals

Arrival at School

For a student's safety, they are not to arrive at school until 7:40AM when playground supervision is provided. If a parent would like their student to arrive early, they must accompany them on the playground until supervision arrives.

If their is inclement weather and we will be lining up inside, the school will fly a yellow flag from the flag pole which notifies students they may enter the building at 7:40AM and  line up inside. Due to space restrictions, students only will be allowed into the building at that time and will be supervised by staff.

Parents and students should not enter the building before school unless requested by a teacher or other staff member. Teachers are preparing for their day and require this time to complete their tasks and meetings.

Late Start Wednesday

Coal Creek provides before school care on late start Wednesdays. Students can arrive any time after 7:40AM and enter the school through the back Cafeteria doors. They can complete homework, read quietly or complete color pages that will be provided.

A light breakfast is provided if students are interested. 

For more information, please reach out to the Coal Creek Office at 720-561-4500.

Early Dismissals/Dismissal

Parents who need to have a child dismissed early or excused from school for a brief period of time should arrive at school and inform the Office Staff of the student who needs to be released, and sign the student out. The staff member will retrieve the student. Please ensure enough time is allocated as students may not always be in their classroom. We do not accept calls requesting that a student be called down at a specific time. 

After school arrangements need to be made prior to the beginning of school. Students are not allowed to use the school phones to make play dates. It is not always possible to get a message to a classroom during the last minutes of the day...so please communicate after school plans with your student before they leave for the day. We understand that emergencies come up and we will try to help when that happens.

If dismissal is held for any reason (weather, wildlife, security), a text message will be sent to families to notify them of the dismissal hold and the reason. An all clear message will mean that parents can then proceed to the school for the pickup of their student(s).
