Communication Pathways
At Peak to Peak, we strive for positive, open, and inclusive, two-way communication with our families. To facilitate this goal and to ensure we can address your needs as quickly and efficiently as possible, we use The Communication Pathways as a problem-solving strategy and the Principles for Effective Dialogue to guide a positive experience. The Communication Pathways create an effective and respectful process to resolve and address issues that arise. We have found our dialogue to be particularly productive and mutually beneficial when all parties adhere to the recommended Principles for Productive Dialogue. Please know that when you are seeking information or answers to questions, we always welcome conversations with any member of our community.

NEW! 9th Grade Overnight Field Trip Cancelation Notice Dear 9th Grade Students and Families, We are disappointed to inform you that the 9th grade overnight retreat that had been tentatively scheduled for October 10th - 12th has been canceled due to rising costs. For any families that have already paid the $195 fee, please expect a full refund in the next 7 to 10 days. Despite this cancellation we are very excited for all of our freshman specific opportunities this semester including Chuck-the-Chicken on 9/13, our ice cream social on 10/7, and the Cocoa and Cram event on December 6th. This is in addition to all the other fall events like spirit week and our homecoming dance which are open to our 9th grade students. We are also excited for the new experiential learning opportunities provided by the addition of Peak Week to the spring semester. We will continue to look for creative ways to build community among all of our students including those newest to the high school hallways. Thank you for your understanding. Sincerely, Kyle Mathews, High School Principal Josh Benson, High School Assistant Principal |

Volunteer Needs
|
|
Volunteer Information Once on-site volunteering resumes, we will continue to request fingerprints from anyone who intends to volunteer more than once during the school year. If you had your fingerprints done previously and completed our volunteer waiver and release form then you do not need to complete any volunteer paperwork this year! Please make sure you have a photo volunteer ID card with a barcode on the back. If you do not have a photo ID card please stop by the Volunteer Station at registration or contact the office staff. Please contact Traci Schoeneweis or 303-453-4682 to verify your volunteer status if you are unsure. If you only intend to volunteer once then you will be required to do the background check (not fingerprints) and the volunteer waiver and release form each year. You will be given a one-time volunteer ticket to turn in when you volunteer the one time. Please follow this link to print them or pick them up at registration: Volunteer Information Volunteer training is online. Anyone that is new to the school needs to view this before volunteering. If you have previously attended or taken the volunteer training you do not need to do it again. It’s a good idea for returning volunteers to view this as well for a refresher on protocols. Follow this link Volunteer Training to view the information. It can also be found on the volunteer page of the school website. Your Volunteer Team would love to hear from you. If you have any interest in volunteering for anything at all but do not know where to start please email either Allie Cross or Rachel Hirt, Volunteer Coordinators. They would love to meet you! |
