A LOOK AHEAD
EIGHTH GRADE SCHEDULE INFORMATION
Eighth graders: You will be able to pick up your schedule
during schedule pick up on Tuesday, August 16. Please
understand that the counselors have made every effort to
build your schedule according to your course requests.
Please remember that your second semester electives will
not appear on your schedule. Several of you signed up to
be an assistant for a teacher or an office. If your student
assistantship does not appear on your schedule, you are
more than likely scheduled to be with the teacher/office
second semester.
SIXTH GRADE SCHEDULE INFORMATION
Sixth grade schedules available on Tuesday, August 16,
will include core placement, music, physical education and
exploratory classes. Most sixth grade schedules will show
a placement in a math class. Students will be placed based
on fifth grade information, teacher recommendations,
parent input, MAP information, and past math
performance.
CHANGE OF ADDRESS/PHONE NUMBER
If your student will be attending Euclid next year but you
have had a change of address or phone number, please call
Student Services at 303-347-7810 so that we may update
our records. Thank you!
Student Services News Counselors: Mel inda Morris : 303 -347-7820
Tara Kolker : 303 -347-7819
Anne Keely , Secretary: 303 -347 -7810
IMMUNIZATIONS
The Colorado Department of Public Health and
Environment requires vaccines for students entering 6th
and 7th grade. These include the Tdap, Varicella and
MMR vaccines. If students are not up to date with
vaccines, parents must fill out a plan for completion of
the vaccine with Student Services. Please continue with
updating these vaccines. Parents may sign an exempt
status with Student Services. Please keep your plan up
to date and communicate with Mrs. Keely.
INCOMING 6TH, 7TH AND 8TH GRADE PARENTS
Please have your student’s immunizations updated
between now and mid August. Your student should
have completed the following immunizations by mid
August at Schedule Pick Up.
1 Tdap 2 Varicella
3 Hepatitis 2 MMR
Your doctor or medical office may fax over the updated
documentation to 303-347-7830. You may bring in the
documentation at any time or during schedule pick up in
August.
If you do not have a regular family physician, you can
call Tri County Health at 303-761-1340 for information
about immunizations. 1-800-757-3999 is a centralized
number for making appointments for immunizations with
Tri County Health. If you have any questions, call the
Student Services Office at 303-347-7810.
MOVING? Please notify the Student Services Office if your student
has registered but will not attend Euclid next year. Each
school is required to track withdrawals, so please call
303-347-7810 (you may leave a voicemail message after
hours) and let us know when your student will be
withdrawing and where he/she will attend school. It is
very important for parents of current 5th graders to
contact Euclid with this information, too, so that we can
adjust enrollment if necessary. Parents of current 8th
graders should notify Euclid so that student records will
not be sent on to the high school if your student will not
be attending high school in the District. Thank you!
