Dear Shelton Families,
We hope you all had a safe and fun summer. Believe it or not the time is near to gear up for the first day of school, Monday, August 24th , with 100% remote learning from home until September 8th. Included in this message are resources to help families navigate and prepare for a successful start to the school year. This message is being sent to existing families and families who are newly registered.
Our “All School Registration” day(s) will be very different this year. Colorado is currently under a Public Health Order (PHO) and registering your students from the comfort of your own home is strongly encouraged. Jeffco Connect is our online registration portal. All parents/guardians must update JeffcoConnect every year in order for their child(ren) to be considered registered. An electronic signature must be submitted. Login to JeffcoConnect to be sure all your residence, contact details, emergency contacts and preferences are up-to-date and set as you want them to be. Notification Preferences are most important as this will be the email and mobile contact to be used in case of an emergency, communications from Jeffco Public Schools or weather cancelations/delays. Be sure to check and update the preferences for EACH child in your household as they are considered separate records. If you need assistance with your User Name and or Password, contact Frances Jaehne at 303.982.5686.
Families who are new to Shelton this year and have a Jeffco Connect account will need to provide a birth certificate and an immunization record for their children. If these documents have already been provided previously this past spring, no further action is required. These documents can be mailed via USPS to the school or if you are comfortable sending an electronic version please send to frances.jaehne@jeffco.k12.co.us
Jeffco Student Fee Payment is accessed via Jeffco Connect and will be available July 30th. School Café is also active for families who wish to setup a lunch account.
Remember, families must reapply for free or reduced-price meals every year. Access the application here.
If you do not have internet access or are unable to access Jeffco Connect from home or (know of a new family that) needs assistance, Shelton will accommodate walk-in appointments. These appointments will be staggered and kept to 20 minutes. Face masks will be required and we will practice social distancing. Only one parent (no children) can attend the appointment. The appointment will accomplish completion of Jeffco Connect and access to the Meal Benefit Application. Please call 303.982.5686 to schedule an appointment.
If your child will not attend Shelton Elementary, please kindly call 303.982.5686 option 5.
