A Note from the Principal

Dear Parents and Guardians,

I hope the start of the school year has been great for you and your child. It has been great for us. We have enjoyed getting back into the swing of things. We ask that you check your child’s planner every evening. Students are writing their homework, assignments, and quiz/test dates in their planners.

Clubs and athletics have started. This week we had our first Science Club meeting. Mr. Bethke (6th grade Science teacher) partnered with the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs to bring robotics to Panorama. We encourage every student to get involved in one extracurricular activity. We have amazing opportunities. We are in the middle of Cross-country and Softball. Wrestling and Volleyball will be starting soon.

7th grade students can still participate in the 7th Grade Initiative with the YMCA. By signing up, students receive a free membership to the YMCA. Additionally, they can participate in after-school activities. If you are interested in learning more, we have flyers in the front office. We have also started our after-school program with Deerfield Community Center. This is open to any student. They meet every Monday-Thursday from 4:00-5:15. Flyers are available in the office.

Please check our website and Facebook page to learn more about upcoming events.

Let us know if you have any questions (719-579-3220). I hope you have a wonder-ful September.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth Domangue, Principal

September 2017

ATTENDANCE One factor in your student’s success is regular and punctual attendance.

Frequent tardiness or absence can quickly interfere with a student’s pro-

gress and result in poor academic work. At Panorama, we have been

working hard to impress upon our students the importance of getting to

class on time.

Please remember to call 579-3220 and excuse your son/daughter when

they are absent.

If for some reason your child is out for a medical reason, please bring in

the proper documentation in order for our attendance clerk to excuse the

absences for professional documentation. For example, doctor’s appoint-

ment, dentist appointment, counseling sessions, etc. Please understand

that the excused absence will only be for the time your child is at the

appointment.

Colorado Springs What If Festival

PPCC partnered with Panorama to take our

Creativity Matters class to the What If Festi-

val for the opportunity to participate in many

innovative and interactive booths at the festi-

val. Our students were able to be a part of a

global communications with people from var-

ious other countries during this event. Stu-

dents gathered information to bring to their

class as they will be preparing to participate

in the festival with a booth of their own next

year.

Sports News We are excited to announce that sports have begun at Panorama. The students

are involved in softball and cross country at this time. Please refer to the up-

coming events section for the dates of any games.

Any student wishing to participate in any sport must have the proper paperwork

filled out in order to begin. You can get the paperwork for your student in the

front office. Also any student wishing to play a sport must obtain a yearly

physical. Physicals can be obtained through our Entrada

Clinic located at Carmel Middle School.

Parent Portal

Parents, have you created your Par-

ent Portal account in Infinite Campus

district will use IC to send out text

message alerts for closures, delays

and emergencies. Please verify in

IC, using your Parent Portal login,

that your mobile number is correct.

If you would like to learn how to use

the Parent Portal but still do not have

your personal activation key or in-

structions on how to

create your account, please call the

front office at 579-3220. We will be

happy to assist you!

District Corner News – September 2017

Welcome to the 2017-2018 school year in Harrison School District Two (HSD2). We offer many opportunities for you to be informed about the direction of our school district and hope

you will take advantage of each one. Be in the know!!

Sign up to be a VIP (Very Involved Parent) via the District website

We also hope to share a bit here each month about programs that HSD2 offers our scholars. We are proud to have the AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) system

implemented at each of our Middle and High schools. The majority of our AVID scholars are first generation, non-traditional college attending; often English is not their first language,

with many coming from what society considers impoverished backgrounds. AVID scholars are often our C students who without AVID may graduate our educational system without a

plan for “what’s next”, and who may not be academically prepared and ready for success in any 4 year university. Through the support provided by the AVID system and practicing the

WICOR strategies, our scholars become top performers. They learn vital skills needed for academic success and a successful pathway throughout life.

También queremos compartir un poco aquí cada mes sobre programas que HSD2 ofrece a nuestros estudiantes. Estamos orgullosos de tener el sistema AVID (Avance vía la determi-nación individual) implementado en cada una de nuestras escuelas secundarias y preparatorias. La mayoría de nuestros estudiantes en el sistema A VID son de primera generación, no tradicionales a asistir a la Universidad; muchas veces ingles no es su primer idioma, muchos viene de lo que la sociedad considera status empobrecidos. Muchas veces nuestros estudiantes en el programa AVID son estudiantes con calificaciones de “C” que muchas veces no tienen un plan para “lo que sigue”, y que pueden no estar preparados aca-démicamente y listos para el éxito en cualquier universidad de 4 años. A través del apoyo proporcionado por el sistema AVID y la práctica de las estrategias WICOR, nuestros estu-diantes se convierten en los mejores estudiantes sobre todo. Ellos aprenden habilidades vitales y necesarias para el éxito académico y un exitoso camino a lo largo de toda la vida.

When: Friday, September 15th

Time: 5:00 pm—7:00 pm

Place: Bricker Parking Lot

Please join us for this event. Our Panorama Choir will be singing during the festivities.

Food will be served to all you attend.
