douglas county schools: Douglas County Schools Moves Off Of Year Round Tracks - 04/17/11 04:33 PM
The Douglas County School District's calendars have evolved over years. 
In years past, I have explained the Year Round Track system numerous times. In a nutshell, in was a scheduling way to service more students in less space.  3/4 of the students would be on track while 1/4 would not and all would share space.  The track system was just for elementary schools. When A track would track off, D would track back on and take over their classrooms.
Some people loved tracks, others did not.
But of recent years, more and more schools have moved off of the year round … (4 comments)

When searching for a home in the Denver suburbs, school boundaries are sometimes a very important qualifier for the search location. While Colorado is an open enrollment state, the opportunity to enroll children at any public school only exists if there is room. Some schools are at or near capacity, and living within the school's geographic boundaries can sometimes be the only or best way to be certain of enrollment. Additionally, if you do not live within the school boundaries, school bus will not be a transportation option for you.

douglas county schools: New to Highlands Ranch & Need a Preschool? - 01/19/08 06:45 AM
 
A few months ago, my wife guest authored on my blog and posted a compilation of preschools in and around Highlands Ranch.  If you have not yet seen it, I would suggest you take a look.
Preschools have their registration for the next year long before many are even thinking about next year.  If you are new to Highlands Ranch and interested in finding a preschool for your child, you need to look into this now, or you most likely will not find an open spot for the fall.

douglas county schools: Living in Douglas County - What is the Track System Anyway? - 01/18/08 01:45 AM
What on earth is the track system?  Why do I keep hearing the term "off-track" and what does that mean? 
That is probably one of the most asked questions that I get about the school system for families that may be relocating to Douglas County.  Whether they are choosing homes in Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree, Castle Pines, Castle Rock, Parker, Larkspur or Sedalia - they all want to know.  What are tracks?  Why does the school have them?  What track is best?  Is every school on a track? And are we going to like it?
Well, first of all, I wrote … (4 comments)
