Informed Parents Make Great Partners

Way to Go Gold, Aspen Ridge!

Our Owls were all in with their support of Go Gold Day again this year! From filling every slot in our blood drive, to shining bright in gold outfits, to coloring/cutting/hanging gold ribbons in the Heart, to bringing in donations for the American Childhood Cancer Organization, our Aspen Ridge community showed how powerful we can be when we work together. There's still time to donate online in honor of our own brave owl, Davis Goeking!


We have lots to share in this October newsletter. Thank you for taking the time to read through and stay up to date on all that's happening at ARPS!

Middle School Sports Signups: Let's Go, Owls!

ARPS Attendance: Here & On Time!

One of the biggest factors in your child's success in school is making sure that they are here on time and ready to learn for as many days as possible throughout the school year. Thank you for making their attendance a priority (whenever they are healthy) so that we can do all that we can to help our Owls learn, grow, connect, and thrive at Aspen Ridge!


Each month we'll be sharing our average student attendance percentage so that we can all work toward our goal of keeping this above 95% throughout the year!

This Month in Photos: Owls in Action

Our third grade Owls had a gorgeous day for their field trip to Anderson Farms.

They came home with freshly picked pumpkins and plenty of fall memories.

Our preschoolers were thrilled to get an up close look at the fire truck when Mountain View Fire Department came for a visit. They even got to carry the fire hose!

Ms. Schwander's class celebrated the first day of fall with apple cider and some cozy coloring time during Fun Friday!

Ms. Medina and Ms. Murphy's classes enjoyed some buddy bonding time making fingerprint art together!

Our Owls' Nest kiddos are all smiles on the playground as they make the most of the sunshiny days and warm fall weather!

Our Middle School students took a trip to the CU Ropes Challenge Course to build their confidence & communication skills.

They bravely climbed towers, walked across ropes high in the air, ziplined, and more on this memory-making adventure!

Our first annual 8th Grade Girls' Volleyball Team vs. 8th Grade Boys match on the volleyball court was a blast to watch! Both teams fought hard, but in the end the Girls' Volleyball Team came out on top. Way to go, 8th grade Owls!

We Love Our ARPS Sponsors!


We have the best sponsors around, and we hope you'll show them some love when you're in need of a local service. Thank you, ARPS Sponsors!
