Dear Families,

I’m writing to check in with you about how you and your children are doing–and how we’re doing to support you.

We know that many things are working, but others areas need improvement.

Our superpower here at Kiva is an ability to adjust and fine tune to support the needs of families to the best of our ability. But we can’t do that without hearing from you.

Please participate in this five-question survey to provide feedback and direction. Your input really matters.

As always, you can reach out to me at [email protected] and 970-564-9377.

Jeffrey Pope
Head of School

School Hours, Drop-off, Pick-up Procedures

Daily Schedule:

  • 7:45-7:55 – Drop Off
  • 8:00 – School day begins
  • 3:20 – Dismissal on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.  (parents will be called at 3:25).

Drop-Off Procedures:
Dropoff will be from 7:45 am to 7:55 am

Parents are expected to travel East on Empire and turn right into the Parking Lot at 601 N. Mildred.  After dropping your student off, parents are expected to turn right onto Mildred.
The curb east (in front of the school) and north of the school is the DROP OFF ZONE.  PLEASE DO NOT PARK in the DROP OFF ZONE.

If you wish to accompany your student to the front door, or wish to come into the school, please park in the DESIGNATED PARKING AREA (in the middle of the lot) and bring your student to the front door.

CKMS will have  adults present outside at drop off.  These adults will be in the various areas of the DROP OFF ZONE to assist children out of the cars and into the building.

Parents who bring their child to school after 8:00am, must park their vehicle in the designated parking areas, walk their child into the school and sign them in.

PLEASE, NO PARKING IN THE PICK-UP/DROP OFF ZONE.  Parking in a non-school designated area, may result in a warning being given and further possible consequences include a parking ticket issued by city police.

PICK UP
Students will end their day outside (weather permitting) and be dismissed at 3:20.

Pickup: parents may begin lining up at 3:10.

There are two options for pickup:

  • Quick-pickup: parents/guardians may park in the DROP-OFF ZONE, along the curb east and north of the building.  Parents/guardians must exit the vehicle and come to the STUDENT RELEASE AREA, under the flagpole in front of the building.  From there, the child will be released to the parent/guardian.  Return to your vehicle and exit onto Mildred.
  • Slow-pickup: parents/guardians may park in the DESIGNATED PARKING AREA (in the middle of the lot).  Parents/guardians must exit the vehicle and come to the student-release area, under the flagpole in front of the building.  From there, the child will be released to the parent/guardian.  Return to your vehicle and exit onto Mildred.
