Dear Coronado Community,

Herb Brooks, 1980 head coach of the gold

medal-winning U.S. Olympic hockey team

at Lake Placid, said, “Great moments are

born from great opportunities.”

Students will rise to meet and even exceed

our expectations if given the opportunity.

We must place our students in situations

that challenge and encourage them to

achieve. High expectations convey

confidence in their abilities and is

necessary to rise above. Positive

competition in all school related activities

such as our athletic teams, performing

arts, visual arts, clubs and classrooms

promote a winning attitude where, more

often than not, students and team

members work together toward a

common goal inspiring motivation,

innovation, respect, empathy,

collaboration and self-efficacy.

Over spring break, a group of our top

concert band, jazz band percussionists and

our chamber orchestra students travelled

to New York City to perform at the world-

renowned Carnegie Hall in Stern

Auditorium where they gave a rousing

performance. Concerts at this phenomenal

venue in front of an audience of their

peers and professional musicians elevate

their level of performance. I wish you

could have experienced it with me.

Unforgettable!

Likewise, a combination of Show and

Chamber choir students travelled to New

York City over spring break to perform at

The Cathedral of St. John the Divine, the

world’s largest Gothic cathedral. The

acoustics are incredible and after singing

Gregori Allegri’s Miserere Mei, Deus, the

cathedral’s music performance

coordinator remarked that she had not

heard anything that “perfect” since she

worked in Rome. What a compliment!

And, as a matter of fact, she sat for their

ENTIRE performance. The students were

grinning from ear to ear.

At Coronado, we believe how important it

is to perform at the highest level and raise

the bar for all our students and in all our

programs in order to achieve greatness.

The praise they receive and feeling of

accomplishment will prepare them for the

next step in life, working and living toward

their fulfillment. Push yourself and your

children to achieve the next great

moment!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

FOR ALL STUDENTS

Colorado Opportunity Fund The state of Colorado is offering all Colorado

students access to the College Opportunity

Fund (COF). It is basically a reconfiguration as

to how the state funds higher education. The

money that normally went to the institutions

is now being given to the schools in the name

of the students. To take advantage of the

College Opportunity Fund, parents and/or

students must register at the following

website: www.collegeincolorado.org. It is a

very simple process. Once registered, the

college or university will take care of reducing

the tuition for the student once the student

has been accepted to that particular school.

Students may register for the College

Opportunity Fund once they have a Colorado

driver's license or if they have a Colorado I.D.

We strongly recommend students complete

the registration process even if attending a

post-secondary institution is in doubt at this

time. Warning: if a Colorado student is

admitted to a college/university and does not

register for the fund, parents/students may be

held responsible for the payment of that

student’s portion of the COF. Students need

only to register once in their lifetime.

FOR All Males 17 to 18:

Selective Service

Federal law requires all males register with Selective Service within 30 days of their 18th birthday. Students can submit their registration information on the Internet at www.sss.gov or by filling out a form that is available at any post office. Selective Service registration is required to be eligible for a federal student loan, job training, most federal jobs, and U.S. Citizenship.

SERVICE ACADEMIES

Juniors who are seeking nominations to any of the military

academies or in applying for ROTC scholarships must begin

the process now. Students need to see their counselors

immediately.

REMEMBER

You are well on your way to senior year! Every junior

should be taking the SAT and/or ACT tests. Also check

colleges for SAT Subject Test requirements and Fine Arts

credits. Each junior needs to be shopping for those after-

high-school opportunities such as colleges, military,

internships, etc.

COUNSELING SUMMER HOURS

The Coronado counselors will leave for summer break at

the end of the day on May 28, 2019. If students or parents

need to meet with their counselor before the start of

school, you may call Parrish Larkin, counseling secretary,

beginning in August 2019. Ms. Larkin can be reached at

719-328-3609. Andrea Abitia, registrar, can be reached

throughout the summer at 719-328-3615. Post-secondary

counseling assistance for 2019 grads will be provided

through June!

SUMMER OPPORTUNITIES

Parents, your teens have something of worth that our

community needs and values. Community service is an

important aspect during high school. This can be a

deciding factor when it comes to winning scholarships. It is

a component of being accepted into National Honor

Society. Encourage your student to spend a part of their

summer helping others and investing in themselves. A

variety of summer teen volunteer

opportunities are available through The

Parks and Recreation Department, The

Children’s Literacy Program, the

Humane Society, Marion House, and

local hospitals, just to name a few.

Check out our bulletin board right

outside of the counseling center for

listings of opportunities.

JOBS, INTERNSHIPS,

APPRENTICESHIPS The counseling center has infor-

mation on several different types of

employment, both for summer, and

year-round. Many opportunities are

posted outside the counseling center

or students may see their counselor

for additional information.

COUNSELING

SUMMER SCHOOL INFO There are two options this year for District

Eleven Summer School. The “traditional”

program will be held at Tesla Educational

Opportunity School on the Wasson campus.

This program is for credit recovery only.

Session 1 is May 30-June 10 and Session 2 is

June 11-20, 2019. Only one class per session.

Class hours are from 7:30 AM to 12:30 PM.

A “digital” program for summer school credit

will also be offered at the Wasson campus

(2115 Afton Way), May 30-June 20, 2019.

Classes are Monday through Friday from 7:30

AM to 12:30 PM. The cost for each class,

traditional or digital, is $165.00, or only

$125.00 per class if you register before May

17. Early registration is encouraged. Students

may pick up information from the counseling

center or on-line at www.d11.org.

A counselor or registrar recommendation is

required for registration, so please complete

this process before the end of the school

year.

COLLEGE CHOICES & FINANCES If you are having trouble deciding between several

colleges, make a list of “PROS & CONS” list for each

college. Compare financial aid awards, making sure you

are comparing “apples to apples.” Make sure the Cost of

Attendance for each

college includes the same

items. Although tuition,

transportation, and room/

board amounts will vary,

other items should be

equivalent (books and

personal expenses).

If loans are offered as part

of your financial aid

packages and all else is

equal, an offer including *subsidized loans (a loan for which

the federal government pays the interest while the student

is in school, and during grace and deferment periods) is

superior to one with *unsubsidized loans (a loan for which

the student is responsible for paying all interest at all times.

Interest accrues on the loan from the date of first

disbursement until the loan is paid in full.) We also suggest

speaking directly to the financial aid officer at the university

of choice.

As soon as you decide and commit to a school, make a

reservation to attend the earliest orientation/registration

session possible for best class selection.

For assistance in filling out the FAFSA and other financial

related questions, visit their website at www.fafsa.ed.gov.

AP EXAMS • ALP • CU GOLD/SUCCEED

AP EXAM INFORMATION Registered students will begin their AP

exams on May 6 with the AP testing

window concluding on May 17. Students

were able to register online this year and

confirmation letters will be distributed to

students the first week of May outlining

date, time and location of exams. Some

exams will be administered at the First

Evangelical Free Church, 820 N. 30th St.,

heading west from Coronado on Fillmore.

Although many of the exams will be

administered at Coronado’s Auxiliary

Gym, Lab 252 and Room 414 (depending

on type of exam). If you have any

questions, you can check the schedule

found on the Coronado webpage under

Quick Links, the May newsletter, contact

Mrs. Schulzki ann.schulzki@d11.org or

call at 328-3631. Since this is a national

exam students must attend on the

assigned time and day.

ALP INFORMATION Mrs. Schulzki is currently working on reviewing Advanced Learning Plans

this year based on student input through Naviance as they complete their

ICAP—Individual Career and Academic Plan. All students who completed

their ALP goals online this year can continue the process next year by

refining their goals based on their area of talent, passions and interests.

We suggest academic and affective goals related to student course

selections and future postsecondary pursuits, challenging themselves

along the way.

Next year, we will continue to refine goals through the Naviance system

beginning earlier in the year with class meetings and a chance to meet

with Mrs. Schulzki, Gifted Resource Teacher, as needed. The focus of the

meetings depends on the student and their level in high school.

Freshmen meetings typically center on the transition to high school;

sophomores look at interests in high school and scheduling for junior year

(AP, CU Gold); juniors typically focus on high stakes testing, passions,

interests and academic load as well as the senior year applications for

college and scholarships, and/or next steps. Seniors typically are focused

on graduation, post-secondary pursuits, letters of recommendation, and

getting the most out of their high school experience. Each student is

different, however, and these particular issues and interests are

addressed. Please contact Mrs. Schulzki if you have any questions or

concerns at 328-3631 or ann.schulzki@d11.org.

C U Gold/Succeed ALP

CU Gold/CU Succeed Graduating

seniors - Remember to order college

interest and registration, through CU Gold/

CU Succeed and will also offer our popular

CU Platinum course, Public Speaking, next

year. This is an after school college course

taught by an instructor from UCCS. Please

look for the full list of courses in the

Summer edition of the school newsletter.

Registration for these courses will occur in

the fall and/or spring of the 2019—2020 school year, depending on the

course. Mrs. Schulzki, CU Gold coordinator, will connect with students at

that time. Students who have taken advantage of this opportunity

appreciate the rigor of the courses and the opportunities provided. In

some cases, students can walk into college with a portion of their

freshman, or even sophomore year completed. If you have any questions

or concerns, please check with Mrs. Schulzki at: 328-3631 or

FREE On-line Graduated Drivers Licensing (GDL) Course for Parents

In a recent statewide survey of

parents of teens, only 6.4 percent

of parents could accurately describe

Graduated Drivers Licensing (GDL)

laws. In response, the Colorado

Teen Driving Alliance developed an

exciting on-line training opportunity

for parents to learn about GDL laws and how to help

teach their teen safe driving habits. The three modules

walk parents through navigating the licensing process,

teaching their teens how to drive, and enforcing safe

driving practices at home by using a parent/teen driving

contract.

Help us spread the word for parents to go to

www.COTeenDriver.com and click on the Parent

Graduated Driver's Licensing (GDL) Laws Online Course.

You can use the post-card sized handouts, available in

this manual, to pass out at parent events or to send

home with students. We can look at the number of

parents that have completed the course by their zip code,

so be sure to encourage parents to complete the surveys

found within each module of the course!

ATHLETICS

SPORTS INFORMATION Spring and Summer Athletic information are available on our

web site. We are compiling a list of all off-season activities for

athletics. Most of our team sports and many of our individual

sports offer opportunities for development through the spring and

summer. The month of June is very busy with camps and summer

leagues.

As you plan your summer, consider July as the best time to be on

vacation. Information for spring open gyms and spring league

play, summer tournaments and camps, conditioning days and

times, will all be online this month. Please contact the athletic

office 719-328-3612 with additional questions.

INELIGIBILITY RECOVERY & SUMMER SCHOOL Summer school courses taken after the close of

the second semester may be used to replace any

core units failed. Equivalent courses taken must

be accepted by the school toward graduation.

The equivalent credits must be completed by

August 12, 2019. Credits made up through

summer school must be in the same curricular

area, be accepted to meet graduation

requirements of classes previously failed, and be

recorded on the student’s transcript.

CHECK THE CHSAA CALENDAR FOR UPDATES WHICH MAY OCCUR.
