New Student Handbook

2019-2020

1

Dear New Students and Families,

Congratulations on your acceptance, and welcome to Challenge! We are delighted that

you will be joining us next school year. As you’ll come to know, Challenge is a special place

where our mission is to inspire, empower, and challenge motivated students who are

academically advanced and/or gifted. Our school has a rich culture that supports the growth of all

students academically, socially, and emotionally. We value creativity and innovation, and we

celebrate successes, as well as mistakes and failures, because all offer pathways to learning.

While at Challenge, each child will complete his or her unique journey through eighth

grade supported by the collaborative efforts of their peers, teachers, and parents. Challenge offers

many unique experiences for students, and we want you to feel comfortable navigating

everything the school has to offer. Please use this handbook to help guide you through the

Challenge experience. As additional questions arise, please feel free to ask any staff member at

one of the many events planned to support you:

New Parent Table at Check-In - August 1, 2019

Tissues and Tears - August 15, 2019

New Parent Coffee - August 19, 2019

Back to School Night - August 14, 2019 for grades 5-8 and August 20, 2019 for

grades K-4.

Know that at every level, we are here to help and make this transition as smooth as

possible. We are excited to welcome you to our Challenge community.

Sincerely,

Mr. Noah Tonk

Principal

Acceptance

Transfer paperwork

Attending Challenge requires an intra-district transfer from your child’s home school to ours. We

will take care of the transfer paperwork once you officially accept the offer to attend.

Kindergarten Enrichment Program Enrollment

Students in our kindergarten program also attend a fee-based Kindergarten Enrichment Program

(KEP), which allows our students to be with us for a full day. Students have the benefit of the

same teacher for both kindergarten and KEP, so the learning and experience does not feel

interrupted. Tuition for the KEP program is due monthly and paid online.

Spring

School-Year Calendar

While Challenge generally follows Cherry Creek Schools’ traditional calendar, we do have

different conference days and non-contact days than other Cherry Creek Schools. A copy of the

Challenge calendar is included in this handbook for your reference.

School Start and End Times

For all students, school starts at 8:00 A.M., and concludes at 3:00 P.M. Elementary students line up

on the south side of the building beginning at 7:50 A.M., and middle school students may enter the

main doors at 7:50 A.M. Before and after child care is available for all students who may need it;

please look for the section titled “Wolf Watch” for more information.

Teams

Students in grades 1 through 8 transition through four teams in consecutive two-year groupings.

Elementary students will have the same teacher for two years. In middle school, students have

the same Humanities teacher for two years, and may have other core teachers for consecutive

years as well.

Team A = Kindergarten

Team B = 1st and 2nd Graders

Team C = 3rd and 4th Graders

Team D = 5th and 6th Graders

Team E = 7th and 8th Graders

Teachers

Before school starts, students will receive a welcome letter from their child’s teacher. For

students in kindergarten through 4th grade, this letter will come from their classroom teacher. For

students in 5th through 8th grade, this letter will come from their Connections teacher. At check-in

in August, middle school students will receive their schedule for their remaining classes.

A Day in the Life of…

Team A (Kindergarten)

Team B (Grades 1 & 2)

Team C (Grades 3 & 4)

Team D (Grades 5 & 6)

Team E (Grades 7 & 8)

What does a

typical day

look like?

Students begin their day in Connections,

which is like a morning meeting. Instruction

is organized in blocks for literacy, math,

science, and social studies. Students have a

scheduled recess in addition to their lunch.

Mini-courses are scheduled at the end of the

day.

Students start their day in

Connections followed by five

57-minute periods for their

core classes, and a mini-

course. A 30-minute lunch is

scheduled before 4th period

for Team D, and after 4th

period for Team E.

What does

literacy

instruction

look like?

Students engage in reading and writing

workshops designed to help them meet and

exceed the Common Core English Language

Arts standards.

Students take Humanities,

which is a 2-period class

encompassing Language Arts

and Social Studies standards.

What does

math

instruction

look like?

Math instruction is grouped by ability and aligned to Common Core

Standards. Up through Math 5, we use the Bridges to Mathematics program,

and in Math 6/7 – Geometry, we use the Big Ideas program. In all grade

levels, we enrich and extend learning to meet students’ needs. Elementary

students may have a different math teacher than their homeroom teacher.

What does

science

instruction

look like?

With inquiry as the foundation, students learn

about scientific principles in units of study

aligned to state standards.

The middle school program is

designed to build sequentially

on the basic principles of the

scientific world. Inquiry is

again the foundational belief

system, and is enhanced

through STEM projects and a

Team E Science Fair.

What does

the Spanish

program look

like?

Students have 30 minutes of instruction in

Spanish 4 days a week, every other week. In

elementary, the emphasis is exposure to

vocabulary and culture.

Students begin in Spanish 1A

in 5th grade and complete

Spanish 2 by the time they

finish 8th grade. Spanish is

offered every other day,

alternating with Encore

rotations.

4

Team A (Kindergarten)

Team B (Grades 1 & 2)

Team C (Grades 3 & 4)

Team D (Grades 5 & 6)

Team E (Grades 7 & 8)

What is

Encore and

when do

students get

to experience

it?

Encore stands for “Enriching the Core” and

consists of a rotation of Art, Music, Physical

Education, Library, and Technology. Grades

K through 4 rotate through each of the Encore

classes.

Students take

a trimester

each of Art,

Music, and

PE that

alternate

every other

day with

Spanish.

Students

choose three

of the

following:

Art, Music,

Technology,

or PE. Each

class runs for

a trimester

and alternates

every other

day with

Spanish.

Where do

students go

before

school?

Students line up, by teacher, on the south side

of the building beginning at 7:50 A.M. At 7:55

A.M., students will be led, by class, into the

building.

Students gather on the east

side of the building and enter

at 7:50 A.M. when the first bell

rings.

Where do I

store my

things during

the day?

Cubbies and coat racks are provided for each

student in the hallway.

Individual lockers and locks

are provided for each student.

The dimensions of the locker

are approximately 9” wide x

33” tall x 13” deep. The

Container Store has the Janus

Shelving System that fits our

lockers.

What does

homework

look like?

Daily reading

and math two

times a week.

Parents are

given options

from which

to choose,

based on

their child’s

needs.

Weekly

homework is

assigned.

Daily homework and long-

term projects are assigned, as

needed.

School Supplies

School supply lists are posted on our website in May. Families may purchase supplies through

EduKit, or they may purchase them independently.

For middle school, additional personal supplies may be needed and/or wanted. A binder may be

helpful, and can be chosen based on a child’s preferences and individual needs for organization.

A calculator may be needed for math, and teachers will tell parents about recommended models

at the beginning of school.

Summer Reading

All students are required to complete summer reading assignments. The requirements are posted

on our website in May.

5

Parents may want to do their own summer reading to become familiar with some of the language

and philosophies we are adopting at Challenge. Suggested titles include:

Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol Dweck

How to Raise an Adult: Break Free of the Overparenting Trap and Prepare Your Kid for

Success by Julia Lythcott-Haims

The Gift of Failure by Jessica Lahey

Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us by Daniel Pink

Check-In

All students are required to attend check-in on August 1, 2019. Check-in times will be assigned

according to last name. Students will have their school picture taken, learn about clubs and

activities, and complete a hearing screening, if required. Parents will have an opportunity to

complete all paperwork, turn in Immersion driving paperwork, buy lunch credits, pay fees for the

yearbook and activities, and sign up for Wolf Watch, if needed. PTCO will be there to help

families learn how to record volunteer hours, explain fundraising options, sell Challenge spirit

wear, and collect money for the Howler (school directory) and classroom party fees. Students

will be able to walk around, find their classroom(s) and become familiar with the school.

More information on check-in will be emailed to families and posted on our website in June.

Transportation

As a commuter school, many families are interested in alternative transportation options.

Carpool

We are pleased to partner with Schoolpool, a program to help parents get their students to/from

school. It’s free and there is no obligation to participate. Schoolpool is a service of Way to Go, a

federally funded program of the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG).

How Does Schoolpool Work?

Create an account and register your household address or intersection here:

https://mywaytogo.org/s/schoolpool-chal9659lenge (To maintain the highest level of

privacy and security, this link is the only way for Challenge School participants to

register.)

Add comments to indicate special requests or preferences, such as “can provide morning

rides in exchange for afternoon rides,” “student is in after-school actives,” or “looking for

a walk buddy in the mornings.”

Find and contact interested Challenge School families in your neighborhood or along

your drive to/from school.

Challenge School has partnered with Way to Go to offer this program to our parents as a free

service with the goal of reducing traffic congestion and minimizing the stress of getting children

to and from school. Rest assured, your information will only be shared with participating

Challenge School families. No one else will ever see your information, unless you elect to share

your information with families at other schools.

6

The Schoolpool secure mapping service can be used for trip planning or emergency trips, and is

a great resource to meet nearby families for other reasons such as play-dates and baby sitters.

The more families that register, the more likely you are to find good matches. Contact Way to

Go at 303-458-7665 or waytogo@drcog.org for assistance.

Information is provided for your use only. Challenge School and Way to Go do not run

background checks, confirm valid driver’s licenses or assess insurance coverage on participants.

Potential users are advised to screen participants to their personal satisfaction and check their

own insurance coverage for carpooling to ensure that they are covered under these voluntary

arrangements. No drivers, vehicles or insurance are provided.

Southeast Aurora/Centennial Bus Service

Privately chartered bus service from Centennial/Southeast Aurora has run successfully for the

past ten school years. The kids love the bus and the parents love not making the drive!

Students riding the bus live primarily in the 80013, 80015 and 80016 zip codes.

The 2019-20 school bus is already full, but we are keeping a list of waiting families. If you

would like your child to be on the waiting list, please send an email to

busforchallenge@gmail.com. Include in the message your name, the name(s) and grade(s) of

your child(ren), what type of service you are interested in (i.e., mornings only, afternoons only,

round trip), your phone number and your email address. If you are interested in round trip

service, please also indicate if you would like to be notified about any one way seats that may

become available before a round trip seat becomes available

.

The estimated cost for the next school year is $4.00 for one-way and $7.00 for round trip.

ALPs, 504s, and IEPs

If your child has an ALP, 504, and/or IEP plan, our staff will have access to it through our

district database. Please feel free to communicate with your child’s teacher once school starts if

something comes up regarding your child’s needs before your annual review.

Medical Needs

Challenge is staffed every day with a registered nurse. If your child has specific medical needs

related to asthma, allergies, medication, etc., please complete the relevant forms when you

update your child’s information this summer at my.cherrycreekschools.org.

Wolf Watch

Wolf Watch is the name of our Before and After School Program, which is a state-licensed,

Qualistar-approved child care program. Please see the flyers in the back of this handbook for

additional information.

Volunteer Service Requirement

Challenge families commit to support the school with 25 hours of service per school year. There

are many ways to attain hours, both during and outside the school day. The PTCO has volunteer

coordinators who publicize needs and help connect parents with projects. If you find you are

7

having a hard time completing your hours, please reach out to your child’s teacher, school

administration, or one of the PTCO board members for suggestions and assistance. We recognize

that our families are busy. Our goal is to help provide a variety of options to earn service hours in

a way that is meaningful and does not create an unnecessary burden.

Challenge PTCO

The PTCO welcomes you to Challenge. PTCO stands for Parent Teacher Community

Organization, and its purpose is to assist in attaining the highest level of education and welfare

for the Challenge student body through the cooperative efforts of the faculty and staff, the Cherry

Creek School District community, and parents. We are here to support our students, staff, and

parents in numerous ways to include providing classroom grants, offering community building

events, holding monthly meetings, and providing fundraising opportunities to meet the unique

needs of our school. Tracking Volunteer Hours: We ask that parents log their volunteer hours online, and will have

more information on how to do that in August. Fundraising: Throughout the school year, we have several big fundraising events that help us

raise money to help keep our classroom sizes small and other instructional resources. We also

have various smaller fundraisers that go towards Team Funds and General Funds. Feel free to contact us with questions or concerns: ptcochallenge@gmail.com

August

First Day of School

Kindergarten Thursday, August 15

Grades 1-4 Wednesday, August 14

Grades 5-8 Monday, August 12

Students in kindergarten through 4th grade will gather on the south side of the school, locate their

teacher, who will be holding a sign with their name on it, and line up by them. Teachers will then

lead students into their classrooms. Parents are asked to remain outside the building as the

teachers are walking students into the building to begin their classroom routine.

Middle school students will enter the building at 7:50 A.M., store their belongings in their locker,

and then head to their first period class. Teachers understand that the first day can be filled with

excitement and anxiety and they are prepared to support each child through the transition. If you

have questions or forms, go to the Main Office.

School supply kits purchased through EduKit will be delivered directly to the classroom, and

students don’t need to bring anything to school. If students purchased supplies independently,

they should bring them on the first day.

8

Security and The Main Office The Main Office is open from 7:45 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. daily. For the security of our students and

staff, all doors of the school are locked at all times. To enter the school, press the button on the

exterior box that reads Main Office. Anyone entering the school must check in and receive an

identification badge that must be worn throughout the building. Bring your driver’s license with

you on your first entry into the school.

Parking Lots

Challenge has three parking lots: The East Lot, the Circle Lot, and the West Lot.

The East Lot is the main parking lot. If you are dropping off your child, you may use the drop-

off lane along the school sidewalk. You may not park your car or get out of your car in the drop-

off lane. If you would like to park your car to walk your child to class or just to help them get out

of the car, please use the parking spaces. When picking up your child after school, you may park

in the parking lot, or use the drop-off lane if space is available and you stay in your car. Please

pay attention to the directions of the security guard and parent volunteers to keep our students

safe and traffic moving. A map showing the flow of traffic is included at the end of the

handbook.

The Circle Lot is an extension of the East Lot and is available for families to use.

The West Lot is our carpool lot and is restricted to those families who applied for permits to use

the lot. Permits are granted to carpools that accommodate five or more students. Applications are

included in the check-in paperwork.

In all cases, please do not park along curbs unless no parking spaces are available. If you must

park along the curbs, please remain in your car.

Connections

Connections builds community among students. Elementary students start their day in

Connections with their classroom teacher. Middle school students will have Connections first

thing in the morning and will have the same Connections teachers in grades 5 through 8. In

addition to community-building, students have lessons in bully-proofing, safety, and executive

functioning.

Mini-Courses

All students have an opportunity to choose mini-courses to explore individual areas of interest.

Mini-courses are multi-aged and students have an opportunity to learn from teachers throughout

the building. In middle school, mini-course rotations occur every six weeks, and they rotate more

frequently in elementary school.

Silver and Teal Days

Middle school students alternate Spanish and Encore choices every other day. The terms Silver

and Teal days are used to refer to which of these classes (either Spanish or Encore) a student is to

attend on a specified day. This differentiation helps students remember if they need to be in

Spanish or Encore. Silver and Teal day calendars are printed in students’ planners, posted on our

website, and announced every day.

9

Planner

All students will be given a planner on the first day of school. Unique to Challenge, we’ve

developed a planner system that will support the growth of students’ executive functioning skills.

Students will receive instruction from their teachers on how to use the planner.

Student Lunches

Our school cafeteria serves breakfast and lunch each day, and also offers students a variety of a

la carte items. Parents can load money on their child’s account during check-in or online through

PayPams. If your child has a balance from their home school, it will be transferred to Challenge.

PayPams allows you to look at your student’s purchases so you can be aware of what kind of

purchases your child is making each day. Please know that you may put purchasing restrictions

on your child’s account to limit the quantity or types of items purchased. Please contact the

kitchen manager during check-in if you are interested in adding restrictions.

You may apply for free and reduced meals on the Cherry Creek Food Service website at

http://www.ccsdcafe.org. A new application is required each year. If you qualify for free or

reduced meals, please keep your qualification letter as you may also be eligible for discounts in

Wolf Watch and scholarships for school events.

Many students also bring lunch from home. Microwaves are available for students to use to heat

food; however, they need to be able to use them independently.

Gym Clothes and Shoes

All students are required to have appropriate shoes and clothes to participate in P.E. In middle

school, dressing out is optional, but highly encouraged. Lockers are provided for middle school

students who wish to change clothes. Students may bring appropriate clothes from home to

change into and/or purchase Challenge Spirit Wear during check-in.

Clubs and Activities

Challenge offers a variety of clubs and activities for our students. Opportunities are listed on our

website and announced in our weekly email newsletter, Wolf Tracks. Some examples include

Student Council (K-4), Student Senate (5-8), Robotics, Destination Imagination, Chess Club,

Speech and Debate, Musical, Intramurals, Art, and Technology Student Association. The PTCO

also sponsors groups such as Brownies and Girl Scouts. Private organizations also provide

opportunities for students. Please check our website for the latest information.

PowerSchool and Schoology PowerSchool and Schoology are tools students and parents can use to monitor assignments and

progress. PowerSchool is an electronic gradebook and is used in grades 3 through 8. Middle

school teachers use Schoology to post assignments, handouts, and discussions for students.

Parents can access these tools through their my.cherrycreekschools.org login.

Monitoring student progress is an important role parents play in their child’s education and while

PowerSchool and Schoology can be helpful tools, parent overuse of these tools can change the

dynamics of students’ ownership in learning. To support student independence and ownership in

learning, students and parents should set up a time weekly where the child logs into PowerSchool

with a parent present and reviews his/her progress. Families can then celebrate together and

troubleshoot any problems that arise. Students respond well to this collaborative approach of

10

monitoring progress. A similar approach can be used for Schoology. If assignments are posted

and a child needs support in accessing them, parents should coach their child through logging in

and finding them.

Back to School Night

Please mark your calendar for the following Back to School Nights:

Grades 5-8 August 14, 2019 at 6:30 P.M.

Grades K-4 August 20, 2019 at 6:30 P.M.

Wolf Tracks

Wolf Tracks is published via email on each Friday and includes brief announcements of

upcoming events.

The Howler

The Howler is our school directory. You may choose whether or not to include your information

in the Howler when you complete the online forms prior to check-in, and you will have an

opportunity to order a copy during check-in. Some families find it beneficial to order multiple

copies to keep in cars in case you need to quickly arrange alternate pick-ups for your child or

need to reach another Challenge family.

Driving Paperwork

Our students have great opportunities at little to no cost to families because our parents volunteer

to drive during Immersions and on field trips. All that is required is a one-page form, a copy of

your driver’s license, and a copy of your insurance (minimum coverage is required). Driving

paperwork is sent out in the check-in packet and collected during check-in so we can be ready to

go early in the school year. Please consider driving for Challenge activities (and earn service

hours); watch for the paperwork and turn it in so you can be a driver. Our programs are

dependent on this support from our parent community.

Parent Organizations

Challenge has multiple parent groups in which you can be a part.

PTCO meets monthly on Mondays, alternating between morning and evening meetings.

PTCO supports parent involvement in the school and in education, and provides financial

support to the school.

The Advisory and Accountability Committee (AAC) meets four times a year on Tuesdays

in the evening. The role of the AAC is to review school performance and provide input

for school improvement efforts.

PASS meets four times a year on Tuesdays in the evening, and is comprised of parents

and educators who collaborate to promote the success of all students. The goal of PASS

is to cultivate partnerships with families of our Black and Latino students and its work

includes developing resources and action plans that support the academic achievement of

our students of color.

The Wellness Committee meets every other month on Monday mornings, and supports

the nutritional, physical, psychological, and environmental wellness of our school

community.

Please look on our school website for more information about any of these groups and their

meeting schedules.

11

September

Immersion

Immersion weeks take place two times during the school year: the week before fall break and the

second to last week of school in May. Immersions are multi-age, in-depth explorations into an

area of study. They are unique to Challenge and a program of which we are proud! Students

choose from a catalog of options which are published in September and April each year. There

are fees associated with Immersions, and both fund-raising and scholarship opportunities are

available. Immersion time is a great time for parents to log volunteer hours by driving students

on their excursions.

Immersion Driver Paperwork is required of all drivers. Each driver's license is processed through

the school district's Risk Management Dept. and must pass a DMV report. Each driver must have

current insurance. The success of Immersion depends on ALL parents to participate in driving to

these educational activities.

Conferences

Conferences take place twice a year, at the end of September and the end of April. All

conferences are student-led and supported by the student’s Connections teacher. Fall conferences

focus on goals for the school year and spring conferences focus on celebration and reflection.

Parents sign up for conferences through SignUpGenius two weeks prior to conferences.

Classroom Parties

Students in grades K – 4 have classroom parties in December and February, in addition to end-

of-the-year celebrations. Room parents coordinate and disseminate information regarding the

parties.

Contacting a Teacher

The best way to contact a teacher is by email. Teachers provide their contact information at Back

to School Night and you can find contact information on our website and in the Howler,

Teachers typically respond within a day of receiving your email.

May

End-of-Year Events

Last Day of School

The last day of school for 8th graders is Wednesday, May 20, 2020. The last day for kindergarten

– 7th graders is Friday, May 22, 2020. Students are dismissed at 11:00 A.M. that day.

Community and Fundraising Events

Challenge is fortunate to have an engaged and supportive community. Below are just some of the

events scheduled throughout the year.

● Wolf Run - Wolf Run is our big fall fundraiser where students walk/run laps for 30

minutes during one school day. This event encourages students to live healthy lives,

builds up the school community, and raises funds through pledges/donations. The

Assembly and Run Day will occur in September and Prize day will occur in October. ● Fall Festival - Fall Festival is our biggest fall community event where families are

welcome to come and eat, play games, purchase baked goods, and meet other parents.

This event happens on a Saturday afternoon in October. ● Cultural Night - We have a variety of cultures represented at Challenge and are excited to

have an event to celebrate that diversity. This event will take place one evening in the

fall. ● Trivia Night - Trivia Night is another fun community event where families team up with

other families to compete in various categories. In order for all ages to participate we

always include questions that vary in difficulty. This event is usually one evening in

January. ● Spring Fest - Fest is our spring community event that celebrates the year. The event

usually includes food, inflatables, and music. This event is on a Friday evening in May.
