Jeffco Public Schools is starting a new school year with changes for many students after 16 elementary schools closed last school year.
Tuesday marked the first day of the 2023-2024 school year for Jeffco Public Schools. For many students, the new year means a new school after the district closed 16 elementary schools at the end of the 2022-2023 school year.
“A full time counselor, which we didn’t have last year, more mental health support across the board,” Szczesny said.To prepare for the transition, Powderhorn held several joint events with the Colorow community and paired kids up as pen pals. “I do anticipate that this second phase and the recommendations coming this month to the board will be much smaller in scope and scale than last years recommendation,” Dorland said.
Meanwhile one change for middle and high school students this year is a shift to later start times, which now range from between 8:05 and 9:00 a.m. Dismissal times range from 3:20 to 4:05 p.m. The change was made partly due to research on adolescent sleep. Elementary school start times shifted earlier to accommodate transportation and also to create more uniform school days.
