Timber Trail Elementary School, Castle Pines North’s (CPN) year-round school, has been bustling with kids all summer long. Other neighborhood schools – American Academy (founded by CPN parents and temporarily based in Lone Tree), Buffalo Ridge Elementary, DCS Montessori, Rocky Heights Middle School and Rock Canyon High School – head back to school in mid-August.

Please be watchful of students walking and biking to school and pay attention to school zone speed limits. If you have a school story idea for one of the CPN neighborhood schools or news to share, please e-mail Elean Gersack at .
