University Schools - Pioneers in Education

Dear University Schools Families and Friends:

I hope this email finds you and your family doing well.

We will follow our school calendar with the following dates being the last days for the 2019/20 school year:

• May 15 - Seniors
• May 19 - Kindergarten
• May 20 - Grades 1 through 11 (am dismissal)

We know that many of our students still have items at school. As we follow District 6 guidelines to keep our buildings closed, except for essential personnel, until June 30, we have decided that students may pick up their items from classrooms and lockers during each family’s scheduled registration time which will take place at the end of July. Student items will remain secure in lockers and in locked classrooms. We will also distribute yearbooks during registration and ask that Chromebooks be returned at this time as well. Our hope is that we will be able to conduct registration as we normally do. We will continue to seek guidance from the Weld County Health Department as we plan for registration.

We have tentatively planned a delayed graduation for our Seniors, the class of 2020, for July 25. The Health Department has also given schools and school districts guidance for graduation ceremonies. We will follow those guidelines in order to keep everyone as safe as possible. If we are not able to host an in-person ceremony, we will provide a video/slide-show as an alternative. I am sorry our Seniors have missed so many events that we all look forward to each Spring, from Awards Night to Prom to Athletics and Activities to Concerts, Plays and last day festivities. We wish them the very best as they complete the last few weeks of school.
