News and Updates
On May 3rd, our STEM Robotics II class competed at the Colorado NRL BattleBots Tournament at Cherry Creek Innovation Campus—alongside 16 teams from 6 different schools in a thrilling showdown with 3-minute head-to-head matches!
This was a huge milestone for our program: the first time our students have designed and built BattleBots with fully functional, competition-legal systems. And all three teams—The Smashlet, Stuff ‘N Things, and Mida$—got their bots into the arena and into the fight. That’s no small feat!
Shoutout to The Smashlet for earning our only match win this year—way to represent!
✨While we didn’t bring home trophies, the real win was in the hard work, creativity, teamwork, and perseverance our students showed from day one. The event was packed with energy, fun, and some seriously valuable learning moments.
We’re so proud of the effort and dedication these students brought to the table. Way to go, Robotics II! Photos Pictured: Team Smashlet, Team Mida$, Stuff ‘N Things, Full Team & Smashlet Robot Repairs
Update on Secondary Student IDS
Dear STEM Families,
We are dedicated to maintaining a safe environment for our students and staff. Safety is our number one priority and is a layered approach. One of the measures is to ensure that all students, staff, and visitors are identifiable on campus. Student IDs also alert office staff to who has off-campus permissions and allow students to quickly check in and out using our automated system. We ask for your continued support in ensuring your child is wearing an ID to school each day.
As time goes on, we understand that students will misplace their IDs and lanyards. We ordered another shipment of lanyards and ID holders, but our students are going through them pretty quickly.
After Fall Break, students will be charged $5 for replacements. This charge will run through their Myschoolbucks account. Please monitor the account and speak to your child about these charges if they occur.
Spartmart is looking into purchasing nicer, higher quality lanyards to sell as well and you may also purchase lanyards online.
Finally, because IDs are part of our dress code, if a student is not wearing an ID and does not have a temporary ID, they may be assigned a detention. Students have been made aware of this expectation.
Once again, we really appreciate your support. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to one of our building directors.
In partnership,
The STEM Admin Team
Tutoring during access in MS and HS commons
Our Math Society students are volunteering to assist with math homework during access periods (11-11:40 a.m.) on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Help will be available in both the Middle School and High School commons. Students who need support or want to catch up on homework should feel free to take advantage of this opportunity. Students should contact either their math teacher or access teacher to add their name to the list for help.
