Construction
is beginning on Elementary School #35, to be built on the western portion
of the vacant land at CPN Parkway and Monarch. The School District also
has significant announcements about school boundaries: elementary boundaries
have been set, and both of CPN's Elementary schools will feed to
the new Middle/ High School #7 at Monarch and McArthur. Details are
posted on the School District's
web site.
Here's
the highlights for CPN residents:
The
elementary school boundaries are as follows: Oak Hills, Charter Oaks,
Beverly Hills, Surrey Ridge, The Retreat, Claremont Estates, Huntington
Ridge, Castle Pines Village, plus Castle pines North south of Castle Pines
Parkway will remain at Buffalo Ridge Elementary.
Forest Park,
Pine Ridge, plus Castle Pines North north of Castle Pines Parkway will
now go to Elementary #35. This also includes the Daniels Gate area and
Hidden Pointe.

The Middle
School/ High School picture is also becoming clearer -- both Buffalo Ridge
and Elementary #35 will feed to the new Middle/ High School #7 at Monarch
and McArthur. At public meetings on the elementary school boundaries,
residents overwhelmingly favored "staying together," asking
that both of CPN's elementary schools be assigned to the new Middle/High
#7. The October 15th meeting confirmed attendance to the new Middle school.

The Middle/
High School boundary decision will be made by the School Board on November
19. The District
will hold a series of public meetings October 21-30 to review
the scenarios for which elementary schools to include in #7's attendance
area, and answer parents' questions about the transition from being assigned
to Castle Rock Middle School and Douglas County High School.
Elementary
#35 will open in the Fall of 2003 (tentative date "after Labor
Day"), and will be operated on a "modified traditional calendar"
until enrollment reaches the size required to go on the year-round calendar.
Middle
School/ High School #7 campus at Monarch and McArthur will also open in
the Fall of 2003, for 7th and 8th grades - 9th graders will also attend
the new campus, and will share the Middle School building until the High
School building is completed for all high school grades, in the Fall of
2004.
