Cache La Poudre Junior High is an amazing little school located on the edge of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. Our small size of 400 students and staff has allowed us to become a community of learners where every student is known and valued as an individual. Our dedicated staff has committed themselves to an innovative teaching style and spirit which embraces the future but still respects our past traditions.
Cache La Poudre Junior High is a school where respect, rigor, relevance, responsibility and relationships drive learning.

From the Principal…
Welcome back from what I hope was an enjoyable and relaxing Holiday Break. The students were issued their report cards for first semester on Friday, Jan. 11th. If your student did not bring one home, please call the school and we will issue them another one. If your student has failed a core class they will be required to attend summer school to make up this credit. Please call our counselor for more information on summer school.
We have over 200 students that have met our academic challenge for the first semester by earning a 3.00 or higher. These students will be eligible to attend a movie during the school day as their reward. They will attend this movie sometime in January, details will be sent home at a later date. I would like to congratulate Ally Evans for having her essay chosen among thousands of entries to be published in Creative Communication’s “Celebrating What Is Important to Me.”
CLPJHS has earned the prestigious Energy Star Label for 2007. This award is given to schools that are at least 30% more energy efficient than other schools. CLPJHS was one of 169 schools in the nation that was presented with this award. I would like to congratulate Ms. Barb Groves and her Energy Team for making this happen.
These are just two examples of some of the great things happening at CLPJHS. With the dedication and hard work from the students and staff, CLPJHS will continue to be one of the best schools in the district. We encourage you to get involved and help continue with the great traditions established at CLPJHS.

Energy Star Labeled schools or buildings are at least 30% more energy efficient than other schools or buildings in the nation. A special thank you to Ms. Groves and her energy team for heading this up and for keeping us all aware of our energy usage.

Attendance
It is extremely vital that your student be at school. Colorado school law requires that students attend and that it is the parents’ responsibility to have their student attend school until the age of 17. Colorado law states that secondary students must attend school for 1056 hours out of 1080 hours. This equals four days of absences. You will be notified if your student has more than four days of absences. Students must have all absences excused through the attendance office. You may call our 24-hour attendance line at 490-3087 or our attendance clerk at 488-7405. If the parent does not notify the school of their students’ absence, then the school will contact the parent to verify the students’ absence.
