Ralston Elementary was one of 35 Jeffco schools earning 45 academic awards from the Colorado Department of Education based on 2016-17 Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS) results. Dr. Jason Glass, Superintendent of Jeffco Public Schools, was thrilled to be notified of these awards.
“I am so proud of these schools and all their accomplishments! Schools in Jeffco brought home recognition for high academic performance, high academic growth, and for closing achievement gaps and giving all our students an opportunity to succeed,” Dr. Glass said. “The number of awards for this year was even higher than the year before and exceeded our expectations. Hats off to the staff and students working in Jeffco Public Schools!”
Once again, Ralston Elementary earned the John Irwin Schools of Excellence Award. This award is given to schools that demonstrate excellent academic achievement over time with exceptional performance in math, English language arts, and science. At Ralston we place a high value on educating the whole child as well as ensuring each student is prepared to succeed as they move to the next level of education and in real world contexts. Academic achievement is a component in ensuring readiness and we are thrilled to continue our tradition of academic excellence.
Please join us in recognizing all our teachers for their hard work and dedication in planning and delivering high-quality instruction in the context of authentic and engaging tasks as well as your children for their hard work in applying and mastering the skills and concepts!
What a great job Mountaineers!
