2/3
Recently our Superintendent, Dr. Don Haddad, sent out an update
informing our communityof the safety and security changes taking
place in the district. I wanted to share what specificchanges have
happened at Erie Middle as well as reminding you of the things we
already have inplace.
Currently Erie Middle School has had, and will continue to have,
the following securitymeasures in place:
Full Time Campus Supervisor
Regularly scheduled drills that follow the Standard Response
Protocol: Lockdown, Lockout,Evacuation, Shelter in Place and Fire
Drills
Classrooms doors locked using a Lock Block door system that
allows teachers the ability toquickly lock the classroom
Outside doors locked all day except for 30 minutes when students
are arriving and only themain doors are open during that time
Visitors required to show identification when entering the
school and/or picking up students.
SafeToTell anonymous reporting system
School staff on duty before school, after school, during lunch
and passing periods
Starting on January 9th Erie Middle will implement the new
district wide entry system calledAiphone. This system requires all
visitors to be buzzed into the building by a school staff mem-ber.
The camera and door bell are located to the right of the main
doors. All visitors will still be re-quired to check in at the
front office and show ID. This new system will allow all of the
outsidedoors to be locked during the school day. Our main doors
will remain unlocked from 7:45 8:15
am and from 2:50 3:30 pm.
We know this new system will take some getting used to, so
please bear with us. We wouldappreciate any feedback on how we can
improve the system. If you have questions or commentsplease feel
free to call 303-828-3391 or email me at
[email protected].

Open Enrollment
Students who desire to attend a school or program outside of
their designated attendance area may apply for
Open Enrollment/Nonresidence authorization for the school or
program of their choice. In order to apply, an
Open Enrollment/Nonresident Application must be filled out.
Critical dates for the 2013-2014 school year
December 3, 2012 to January 15, 2013: Submit applications
December 3 through January 15 is the period
in which applications for open enrollment should be submitted to
the requested school.
February 7, 2013: Deadline to receive application status letter
from school Written status letters from
the requested school will be sent to the applicant approving or
denying the application by February 7.
March 1, 2013: Deadline for school visit and open enrollment
confirmation Applicants who have been
approved for open enrollment should visit the requested school
by March 1 and confirm their desire to open en-
roll.
Open Enrollment Reminders
Not all schools allow open enrollment. Each year the Board of
Education reviews school populations, enroll-
ment projections, building capacities and staff sizes and
determines which schools can permit open enrollment.
Students whose applications are denied or whose applications
were submitted after the January 15 deadline will
be added to the waitlist of the requested school. Board policy
also provides the opportunity of appeal.
TCAP TestngThe TCAP (Transitional Colorado Assessment Program)
is based on the new Colorado Model
Content Standards and has replaced CSAP. The TCAP will continue
to assess the same content
areas and grades as CSAP. Students will be taking the TCAP
tests. The tests and schedule for
each grade level at EMS are as follows:
6th Grade: Reading, Writing, Math:
March 11 - 15
7th Grade: Reading, Writing, Math:
March 11 - 15
8th Grade: Reading, Writing, Math, Science:

Attendance is vital during this time. We wanted to let you know
early so that appointments
and vacations are not scheduled during these days. Thanks in
advance for your under-
standing and cooperation.
