MRHS Community Communications

Mustangs,

I wanted to put together a newsletter just for our freshman to help answer a few questions you may have before you start your first day of school.  I send out newsletters to students and families at least once a month.  It is my way to communicate all of the information that you may miss if you don’t hear the morning announcements.  It also gives us a way to celebrate students' success.  Take a moment to read my “Welcome to The Mountain” newsletter.

We will also be hosting our Back to School Night on August 7th from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm.   This is an opportunity for students and parents to drop in, meet our staff, check out where your classes are, find your locker and grab a hot dog.  Please make sure to have the most updated copy of your schedule. 

I hope you are having a restful summer and I can’t wait to meet all of you on August 7th or on the first day of school, August 11th.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Hansen, Principal

Mustangs and Mustang Families,

We had a big win Friday night as our football team beat Thomas Jefferson.  It was accompanied by an amazing performance from our poms squad and our marching band.  Softball had a great win over Westminster HS.  Gymnastics won the Loveland invite.  Mr. Tyler was featured as the Denver Broncos Flag Football coach of the week.  The girls volleyball team is currently 4-2.  Golf is 3rd in the Rocky Mountain League.  Boys soccer had a great game against Erie.  At the Horizon Invite, our girls cross country team finished 6th and the boys cross country team finished 7th out of 25 teams.

Tomorrow we will be giving the panorama survey between periods 2 and 3.  Please check the school website for the modified bell schedule.  Homecoming week is in 2 weeks.  Look for a special newsletter next week with all of the need to know information about homecoming week.

Mustangs and Mustang Families,

Last week, the Mane Stage Theatre Company put on their Disney Dazzle show and it was awesome.  Every student who wanted to try out musical theatre was included.  Our football team is currently 4-2, 1-0 in the metro north league.  Our marching band finished 4th at the Legend Marching Festival with a 65.25.  Today is the first day of state golf.  Good luck to all of our competitors this week.

Mustangs and Mustang Families,

Hope everyone had a restful weekend.  A big congratulations to the MR gymnastics team on their 3rd place finish at State this weekend.  We had a very successful Veterans Day celebration last week.  Thank you to all that joined us as it is always great for our US History students to have the opportunity to engage with those that have been in the service.

Mustangs and Mustang Families,

Congratulations to our Mustang wrestlers, Chris A and Bryce S, who won the league title for their respective weights.  Several of our swimmers got personal records at our league meet and our swim coach, Hannah Holm, is the Rocky Mountain League Coach of the Year.  Both Preston B and Delilah L have both achieved more than 1000 points in their high school basketball careers.  Our winter guard took first place at the Ralston Valley contest.  

Parent Teacher conferences are next Wednesday, February 11, from 4 pm to 7 pm.  We hope to see you all there.  One last reminder that we are still enforcing the cell phone policy.  As a reminder, there are no cell phones allowed in the academic setting, only during lunch and free periods.  

Take the annual Family-School Relationships Survey online today! The survey is open now through Feb. 20. It’s easy and provides great feedback to know where schools are succeeding and where they can improve. www.adams12.org/familysurvey

Dear Mountain Range staff and families,

Adams 12 Five Star Schools is updating how we send communications - including text alerts, emails and phone calls - from both the district and our school.

Our school is one of four moving to the new system (powered by Apptegy) on Monday, April 6. No action is needed on your part— this change will happen automatically on our side. 

Starting April 6, district and school text messages will come from a new short code: 98900. We encourage saving this number in your phone as “Adams 12 Text Alerts” so you can easily recognize our messages.

What this means for you:

• Who it’s from: Texts you receive from 98900 are official communications from Adams 12 Five Star Schools and our school.

• What you’ll receive: Important updates such as weather delays or closures, safety notifications, and other district or school announcements.

• Push notifications: In addition to text messages, phone calls and emails, the district and our school may also push time-sensitive messages through the app. We encourage you to turn on push notifications for our school in the Adams 12 app if you haven’t already. See how on this webpage under the “Get push notifications from your school” drop down.

• Staying informed: When you receive your first text message from 98900, it will also include opt out instructions if necessary. Please note that opting out means you will not receive important time-sensitive updates from the school or district by text.

If you have a child at another school in the district, you will continue receiving messages from that school on the current platform (short code: 67587) until all district schools transition to the new platform in June.

Thank you for helping us keep your family informed and connected.
